Aquila Chrysaetos Posted July 4, 2018 A cross post from the Infernew thread for my map Malebolge. The vanilla engine would be feeling it in the northeast corner, because when everything up there is open, it pushes 90-100 visplanes, and tends to average 40+ pretty much everywhere else, and several places run 60-80, so I probably should calm down with the detail, yes? It's possible to get the blue skull now, and I've decided how to get the yellow skull, though the method to do so isn't completely implemented yet. The only problem: as I build the map, it expands more than it should. Pretty much everything save one small area south of the origin isn't required to be visited to finish the map. 6 Share this post Link to post

They already came with gldefs lump but i don't understand very well how it works. There is mentioned "point light" so i guess that dragonfly answer is the most correct. 0 Share this post Link to post

Jimmy Posted July 4, 2018 Any time that switch texture is used it has to be a GR/G1 and there must be a berserk pack immediately in front of it. ...Honestly I think the cheeks should go red for the SW2 frame. 5 Share this post Link to post

NaZa Posted July 4, 2018 Testing a map I've recently finished in Chocolate Doom. I'm satisfied with how I utilized vanilla textures - what do you think, which mapset(s) inspired this map? 22 Share this post Link to post

Well, I didn't mean that way, but Phobos maps sure influenced a few places in this map! 3 minutes ago, JBerg said: Sweet looking maps! They have a very retro look to them! Thank you! I was actually going for a '94 style of mapping, got influenced by the Serenity trilogy so I'm looking at the common logic their maps had. (also what's in common between the three corresponding M1's). I know it's not really visually similar to Serenity (neither gameplay-wise probably) but that's not what I was going for in this map. I think that the most important aspect in the Serenities was the mappers' creativity in trying, and executing, new ideas. As well as the gargantuan map letters. That is my main goal - to try something what would be seen as new in '94, but still plays fresh in '18 or '19. Also, I've been focusing more on interconnecting areas and reducing backtracking. 1 Share this post Link to post
JBerg Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) @NaZa Good luck! Looking forward to playing the set! 1 Share this post Link to post

AustroDoomer Posted July 4, 2018 This is out of a megawad called CLOOM.WAD - map is E2M7 "THE LAVA HALL". Its an older megawad in vanilla format from about the year 2000. Those were one of my first steps with custom graphics and sounds. 7 Share this post Link to post

I spent at least half of my day on this single hallway... holy shit... At least its done now, sans lighting of course. I like detailing though! It's fun to add little things here and there: I've been working on this around... 4 days, I think? And I'm like 10% done... This is gonna take a while. This sounds eerily like my mapping experiences. Going way later than expected and spending stupid amounts of time working on a single area. Looks really good though. I especially like the fallen panels and the leaking pipes that you have added in. While it can take a bit of time that kind of detailing really helps complete an area IMO.

I am frothing at prospect of the release of both the texture pack and the wad. (If I'm truly honest the texture pack is slightly more exciting for me for obvious, selfish reasons) On 7/2/2018 at 3:11 PM, Aquila Chrysaetos said: A couple more screenshots before I go to sleep. I haven't disabled or forgotten the dynamic lights, I just haven't added them yet. This map will probably satiate my technophilia for quite a while with all its beautiful technology. I also like carpets, obviously. I should have this one complete tomorrow, then I can start on E1M6. I like it. I think your mapping skill is improving as well.

This. I'd happily sacrifice fps on the alter of aesthetics but then I remember that other people will play my wad (hopefully) and that I have to acquiesce slightly to gameplay and functionality 4 Share this post Link to post

That map's on hold at the moment until Malebolge (Infernew, there's going to be a map of the same name in HUR) is built. 0 Share this post Link to post
