Author Info : I'm a person Description : Hey! V0idH0und here with a cool new mod for you, The Lost Levels (Phase 1) includes all levels that were removed from FreeDoom in the past, all levels were extracted from those old versions and are not edited in any way except if the edit was needed to make the map playable, The mod shows up as a new episode on the episode selection screen, all levels include their original music and sky boxes, if I forgot a level, or if a level has incorrect music or an incorrect sky box, tell me in the comments below! and Thank you so much for looking at this mod! Installation : Load this mod as you normally would load any .wad it has it's own custom episode number so it should not conflict with any mods that add new episodes. Additional Credits to :The Freedoom Project and its contributors, They are the ones who made the music and textures and levels, all I did was extract them so you could use them with newer versions.

Asure Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) You skipped the old E1M8 level from 0.8. Proper skies for the maps: TLL2 E3 sky instead of E1 sky. TLL3 This instead of E2 sky. TLL4 The linked sky instead of E3 sky. Do you plan to do this with the old Phase 2 maps? 0 Share this post Link to post

Thanks for letting me know about the level and the sky boxes, I'll add that level in very soon! and yes! once this mod is close to complete I plan on doing a Lost Levels Phase 2.

HeyItsDuke Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, Spectra said: Yes. It's already in the test version of the mod, I just have to test the levels and make sure they have the correct sky boxes, and then the download will be updated. :) Edited September 16, 2017 by V0idH0und 0 Share this post Link to post

EffinghamHuffnagel Posted September 16, 2017 When you updated the OP, you deleted the download link. Dude, slow down. Take a breath. It'll all work out. 0 Share this post Link to post

It'll all work out. now that I got the basics done, I can slow down and only update it every now and then, I'm going so fast because I have a huge amount of stuff I made and never uploaded, and I'm the type of person where if I want to share something with the community, I do it as soon as I can, a big reason why I made this mod is because those maps where made by people who worked hard to make something cool, and I think the maps deserve a little more attention then what they got. :) Edited September 17, 2017 by V0idH0und 1 Share this post Link to post

HeyItsDuke Posted September 16, 2017 The next update might be in a week or 2, Nothing big, also does anyone know who created these lost levels and contributed them to the Freedoom project? I would like to credit them individually instead of just having "The Freedoom Project and its contributors" in the credits. 0 Share this post Link to post
HeyItsDuke Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone! I was looking through my files on my PC, and I found almost EVERY SINGLE VERSION OF FREEDOOM EVER RELEASED! do you know what this means? I can include almost every level ever removed from the game in The Lost Levels mod! this has now became a big project, and it will take a good while before it's finished, but I can tell you this, the next update (which I have no release date for) will be HUGE! I hope you will be here for the long haul, because it will be worth it! 0 Share this post Link to post
YukiHerz Posted September 18, 2017 Are most of those truly worth looking at though? some maps were swapped out because they weren't great. I wonder if there's an interest in arranging an episode of old maps and trying to re-do them from scratch instead. 0 Share this post Link to post

I wonder if there's an interest in arranging an episode of old maps and trying to re-do them from scratch instead. @YukiHerz any maps that weren't that great I'm improving, I have big plans for the old E4M2 in the mod... :) but any that are complete garbage I'm just going to not include, the point of this mod is to not only include the old (Good) maps, but also improve any that need it (including maps that have potential to be great with a little modification).

HeyItsDuke Posted September 19, 2017 I need to halt progress on the mod for a little bit, I just found out someone in my family has cancer, I have lost so many people I love to cancer, I'm sorry. 0 Share this post Link to post
JohnnyTheWolf Posted September 21, 2017 Ouch! Sorry to hear that. No need to apologise there; real life takes clearly takes precedence. If I have one suggestion to make about this mod, though, it is that this thread should be moved to the Freedoom forum. Maybe a moderator can take care of that in your absence. 0 Share this post Link to post

That sounds good, I'll contact a moderator or admin about that, and thanks, :) I'll still be on sometimes, but a lot is happening and I won't be on a lot. 0 Share this post Link to post
Salt-Man Z Posted September 21, 2017 So sorry to hear about this. Take care of yourself and do what you need for your family. I'll definitely be giving this a download as-is, at the very least; I played through the previous Phase 1 release and really enjoyed it, and was worried when I heard some maps were getting dropped/replaced. This is a worthwhile project, for sure. 0 Share this post Link to post

Thank you, and after a while, once everything calms down a bit, I will be working on it again, I also have plans for phase 2... :) but that will be after everything that's going on right now calms down.
