What are some maps you've made that have been absolute nightmares to work on/build?

Not Jabba · May 22, 2018

The hardest mapping lesson I've learned so far was from The Wayfarer e1m4, where I set up the main building as a giant, smooth oval. It's really hard to detail a wall that's placed at a random angle. If you're working with a horizontal/vertical/45-degree/135-degree wall, you can align your detailing to the grid. If the wall is at a 32-degree angle or whatever, you're stuck with turning off grid snap and just trying to eyeball it, and anything you want to copy/paste onto a connecting wall that's also at a weird angle will be a nightmare.

We should frame that and put it up in the Louvre, that's beautiful.

Respect to you, sir, for managing to complete that monstrosity exactly the way you intended, or at least in line with the idea.

Thanks! Once I realized it could be done, I couldn't face not seeing it through to the bitter end. Aside from few little things, it did turn out more or less how I originally envisioned it.

I laughed that for those of us who worked on Confinement 256, we all instantly thought of that!

I'm rolling over here! XD I had no idea that ACS script was that long!

Just on the subject of map layout images: the ones I like best are the ones produced by SLADE3 - I've always thought they are intelligible and very pleasant to look at. Having said that, I don't think I've tested it on particularly large maps.

Yeah I like SLADE's map views the most, too. I can just feel the ages of toiling in the map editor looking at people's maps here!

I always thought when looking at screenshots of maps people are making in the Post Your Doom Picture and What are you working on? threads just "how long it took to make those things?!" and "surely it was no easy or quick task!" which is why I started this thread. 'Cuz when people play your maps, they're not gonna see what it took to bring them into existence, regardless if the map was good or not!

Seeing bauul's ACS reminds me. The nonsense I put together for my first Vinesauce Map was immeasurably tedious. I'm amazed I got it out in time, though it's noticeable with how 'randomly drawn' the map is.

Seeing bauul's ACS reminds me. The nonsense I put together for my first Vinesauce Map was immeasurably tedious. I'm amazed I got it out in time, though it's noticeable with how 'randomly drawn' the map is.

When i first saw the map on the contest VOD, the first thing that came to my mind was "syncing that light show sure must have been an ACS nightmare" hehe

Urthar · May 22, 2018

This probably would have worked with an actual portal system, but the limitations of silent teleport lines proved too much for me, and ultimately the layout itself was only interesting from a technical stand point. It either would have required no monsters at all, or very tight lock-ins for every encounter since you couldn't have anything interactive within line of sight of a teleport line. Even just keeping the texture alignments constant across all the duplicated sections was an on going struggle. And since I had no idea where any of this was going, my motivation to work on the map just kept falling away.

Eventually after spenting 2 months without even opening the editor, I decided I had strayed beyond merely stretching the limits, to working actively against what the format did best. So I restarted from scratch and built a much simpler transforming level, which only took a couple of weeks in the end.

Every speedmap was some kind of development nightmare due pressure and stress. But it helped me reach god speed in mapping, where I need quicklu decide what to do.

I had map called "boiling caves", but never finished due inexperience, it's dragged in development hell forever.

Yes. Some people absolutely love speedmapping, but I find it stressful.

Granted, I've only done 2 such maps, and they were both 1 hour speedmaps, but still, ugh. Especially since I apparently have an innate need to have textures aligned/pegged/etc. properly, even on "charmingly unpolished" speedmaps.

Actually, I still haven't released that second map because, although I haven't actually done anything to the map, I keep going back and forth with myself as to whether I should add anything else to it.

I could also add to the list, my first attempt for the DMP 2017. I was set on the map being vanilla and, after 7 weeks of work, when I tested it, I found a number of problems (not the least of which was that I exceeded several vanilla limits). Faced with the impending holidays and deadline, I tried to fix it until I realized that it wouldn't fit what I envisioned to do the level in vanilla. Limit-removing, probably, but not vanilla. So, I set it aside and it's still set aside. I'll eventually go back and finish it, but for now, it's just sitting on my hard drive.

Edited May 22, 2018 by Pegleg : Added second map.

Joshy · May 22, 2018

My two BTSX E2 maps (01 and 31). I felt a little under pressure to make nice maps in vanilla format but I wasn't very efficient at it. The first one, Shadow Port, had a lot of HOMs and VPOs particularly as a result of ambitiously attempting to create an outdoor ship setting. Fireking didn't suffer serious HOM issues but it was very samey looking to the extent it all blurs together especially from a distance. Both maps frustrated me as I felt I was unable to come up with solutions to these problems within vanilla limits to the extent I had mental blocks on what I could do to make it efficiently prettier and to do necessary structural overhaul while maintaing its essence. Thankfully Esselfortium was patient enough to give both maps a rework to make it safe within limits and a lot prettier as well.

I can say though I'm feeling more confident with vanilla mapping now and hope to attempt at making a really nice one in the near future.

Breezeep · May 22, 2018

Any speedmap I've ever made, most notably the ones I've made for the Abyssal Speedmapping Sessions (ASS), put me under pressure for the majority of the time, since I am abysmally slow when it comes to mapping. Speedmapping forces me to just stay focused, which feels like a pain in the ass to me since I procrastinate a lot. There were even times where I just bailed out because I could not get a good start on a certain map.

DMPhobos · May 23, 2018

Boy do i have some maps that have been a nightmare to work on....

First there's an experiment i tend to remake from time to time, the basic idea it's to build a city and code some people, police and zombies to simulate a zombie apocalypse, don't ask why, even i don't know. Anyways, this particular city was a nightmare to build since it slowed to a crawl, not to mention that it randomly crashed by reasons unknown. The whole city felt like it was put together with duct tape by how unstable it was

Spoiler

Then there's the "Rambo" mod that i tried to make that i've already talked about, basically it was an stealth based mod, so i had to make a huge map were monsters wouldn't get stuck if alerted, not to mention i had to give the player a lot of space to hide. The result was an incredibly ugly map that would suffer from slowdown (again)... And good god it really was an incredibly ugly map! and that's not counting all the ASC that went to waste when i stoped working on this project

Spoiler

And finally there's Darkmoon's "Construction Zone" map (that's still unreleased at the time)... this damn map.... i started making it in 2016, i made tons, tons of false starts, and when finally started to map it started to grow, and grow and it reached a point were i didn't knew what the hell to make out of the map. Some areas were finished but they were absolute garbage, and there were a lot of zones to be finished and expand even more. It reached a point so confusing and tedius that i just gave up, made a city map in a week and then stopped making maps for a period of time, last month picked up were i had left off, deleted some problematic areas and then i finished the map in two weeks.... it's amazing how a long break from making maps can help you clear your mind

Spoiler

False start, this area was deleted early on despite some days of work....

This is the layout of the map by the time i had abandoned it, i marked the areas that were deleted from the final layout

Final map layout

I only used DeepSea for one year while i was just learning how to make maps (in the time before doom builder), but because of it, i still call changunners "Chaingun Bob", also i kinda miss the intro screen a bit

It really wasn't the best (not even close), but i still have fond memories of it :)

dobu gabu maru · May 23, 2018

Neat thread—like seeing all the complaints.

For me, I tend to make a lot of big maps, and use a lot of voodoo dolls, and have maps that go up to a pretty high tag number, but none of those really irritate me that much. What is a personal nightmare for me is working on anything vanilla compatible (UDINO E3M9, TNT:R MAP12/16/22/30). Big maps with lots of mechanics can be frustrating, but it rarely means you have to sacrifice your vision. Vanilla maps stomp all over your detailing dreams and demand more from you, taking and taking and taking until your perfectly tuned map works under its crushing standards... and even then it might throw a curveball your way if you look in the wrong direction.

Never again.

I definitely respect vanilla mappers more after having made some, and understand a lot of its draw: it places a hyper focus on level layout and wise use of enemies, perfectly embodying a "do more with less philosophy". Unfortunately I just hate how strict it is with its limitations—and you can't barter with it for a few more segs either!

Bridgeburner56 · May 23, 2018

I'm going to throw this one into the ring too. This was the map that killed me the last time I was making doom maps about 4 years ago. I hit the sidedef limit (a bit over 120,000) on doombuilder 2 and the level is about 2/3 done. There was nothing that I felt like I could cut and it all got a bit too difficult so I gave up.

I had no idea Doom Builder 2 had its own sidedef limit! Doom map format has its own limits that can be pretty heavily stretched with extended node builders and sidedef compression, but for something that gargantuan only UDMF can really handle it as far as I know.

Hopefully GZDB_BF has removed those limits you hit before though!

I'm pretty sure it was the editor rather than the node builder because it stopped letting me draw lines :/

Haven't made map that big (only a mere 80,000 so far) on GZDB yet but I saw someone had made a 300,000 sidedef map ... And UDMF for the win

Phobus · May 23, 2018

After 22 years (or more?), having taken on vanilla limits, (G)ZDoom, mapping challenges, community projects, shared mapping and near enough everything else, I think it's surprisingly hard to pinpoint one or two particularly hard projects. Like, Warpzone is a ridiculously huge map and was poorly made with way more enthusiasm than skill, so testing it and implementing fixes involved hour long play throughs and completely rehauling the monster placement. I made it in ZDoom in Doom format and then wanted scripting right at the end, so had to hack something in with Decorate... That was pretty protracted. Coils of the Twisted Tale was a similar story due to its size as well.

But then, Scourge MAP13 was me versus my hardware limitations, trying to make the most complex map in DEU2 that I could. I had to keep trimming my plans for the end of the map, as the editor would crash when trying to save a map that exceeded the memory limitation of the machine. On a similar note, every non-TWiD modern vanilla project I've worked on has involved reworking the map entirely to make it fit the unnecessary limits.

Or there's Justice: Internal Mechanics, with that mental room with the moveable crate I put together, making something silly like 300 tagged sectors that were potential positions for this one crate. Literally could've just made it a decorate item or something, but decided I'd innovate instead...

There's been countless abandoned projects too, but the one that stands out to me was trying to run a shared map community project on the ZDoom forums. I laid out some rules and a simple goal... Then was treated to some idiot completely breaking them with what was the second entry. After some drama, I gave up on ever running another CP ever again and cancelled it. That was probably over 10 years ago and, I believe I've stayed true to that having given up. Probably my longest ever commitment, ironically.

I think the main lesson from this thread is that trying hard and being innovative leads to massive headaches, development hell and project cancellations.

Chezza · May 23, 2018

Map 6 from my Corrupted Canverns wad. I hated making it, hate playing it and struggled to finish. Also the large gigantic room caused crashes when aligning textures in the editor.

Apparently some people like it the most but I just don't think it plays well at all. A love or hate map I guess.

If you enjoy pitch-black walking simulators, you can play the 4 year old tech demo. 4LAKE is the map lump name of that particular map if you just want to warp to it. It's not nearly as impressive as the screenshot makes it look, which is part of what made it such a nightmare. So much effort for very little payoff.

What are some maps you've made that have been absolute nightmares to work on/build?
