mgr_inz_rafal Posted March 29, 2019 Hi Folks! Let me present my recent map. This is a generic, slightly infested techbase map created with Vanilla compatibility in mind. I think I overcomplicated it a little bit so you may ecnounter some minor rendering glitches, but there should be no crashes due to visplane overflow. As usual, the savegame limit might cause problems. Map is rather easy, although you might suffer a little bit from the ammo starvation in the first stages. Just don't immediately kill all enemies you see and leave them behind. In just a few minutes you'll be able to come back with full gear available :) The map is designed for single player and there are no difficulty settings implemented.

nWADDEN Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) Nice map! Also there are too many screenshots, it takes an eternity for me to scroll up! (and down) 0 Share this post Link to post
LHSpanner Posted March 30, 2019 I like the levitating crate in the last screenshot. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ozku Posted March 30, 2019 Here's a demo of my first playthrough. I enjoyed the map. Most fights were well setup, the level flows quite nicely and I never had a problem figuring out what to do or where to go. Difficulty was quite consistent and felt right for me. The map never felt too samey and had nice diversity of different locations (a bit too cramped near the end). I didn't like the spider mastermind fights though, my first one in the tunnels consisted of peaking around the corner and pummeling it with rockets, the second one you probably are supposed to skip if you don't have the plasma rifle. There was probably a bfg I missed but it wasn't really a problem. profane01.zip 0 Share this post Link to post
mgr_inz_rafal Posted April 18, 2019 @Ozku Thanks for your effort to run through the map and record the demo. Do you mind if I record it and put the video on YouTube? 0 Share this post Link to post
mgr_inz_rafal Posted April 19, 2019 OK, here it is, thanks. I see that my main goal was achieved - make sure that the player barely ever runs out of enemies to kill :) Soon I will try to record my run with all secrets revealed. 0 Share this post Link to post
Suitepee Posted April 21, 2019 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/414512907 The LAST wad I covered in this playtesting stream. Was decent overall, but your Spider Mastermind usage was awful. 0 Share this post Link to post
mgr_inz_rafal Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Thanks, @Suitepee for playing the map! It's very useful for a mapper to hear the live comments of the gameplay. This gives me a big lesson on how other people approach maps and that making assumptions about the behavior of other players could be very misleading. For example, I assume that players explore more and don't kinda play in rush, therefore I placed the PlasmaGun in a very easy to spot secret, having in mind that it'll certainly help to beat the Spider. BFG was hidden a little bit more comprehensively, but again, available through a button in plain sight. The idea was that without looking for secrets the map should still be reasonably easy to beat, but only with up to the Rocket Launcher. Damn, I consider most secrets in this map easy ;-) Anyway, thanks again. You just earned a new follower :) I will revisit the forum thread about good applications of the Spider ;-) Aaa, one more thing. This might be due to some compatibility settings, but in general, Pain Elemental should be able to shoot the Skulls through the wall assuming that he's close enough. See the video below (time=6:42). But I agree that the placement was rather awkward. https://youtu.be/wHqaFGUVEqk?t=402 0 Share this post Link to post
