Lizardcommando Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) I had been working on salvaging my old Maverick Hunters mod and turning it into an Omega Zero mod for GZDoom. It's pretty barebones and basic. You play as Omega Zero. You can shoot and charge the Z-Buster up to two charge levels and the Z-Saber can do a three slash combo and you can dash forward by pressing Q. There is a download link in the video description. 4 Share this post Link to post

I must admit as a fan of megaman zero, it is incredible, I also made omega zero for my mod, but instead of a playable class it is a challenging enemy, your work is impressive! 1 Share this post Link to post
ZeroTheEro Posted April 13, 2020 To combat some boredom I decided to try my hand on building maps for the first time (technically 3rd because I garbaged some maps because of errors I can't fix) My aim is having them run on vanilla, and so far it actually did work. 11 Share this post Link to post
ViolentBeetle Posted April 13, 2020 As far as caves go, this isn't too bad. I would suggest making islands more convex, this sorts of thing look weird. 0 Share this post Link to post

A method I've seen used in @Doomkid's "Ray Mohawk's Manic Monday" is to have a few W1 monster teleport lines in room. So when the player opens the door and wakes up the monster, some of them will teleport behind his back. Then it doesn't matter whether you rush in the room or stay out to camp, in either case you'll have to fight. 2 Share this post Link to post

Chris Hansen Posted April 14, 2020 Been spending my evenings after the kids have been put to bed trying to do an episode 4 themed map. Not sure I'm capturing the style, but it's a nice detour from working on The Mean Green 2. 20 Share this post Link to post

pcorf Posted April 15, 2020 Not exactly sure where to post this but it is related to my wads anyway. But I've uploaded pretty much all of my MIDI files that I have composed for DOOM-related projects over the years. Contains the MIDI's from Whispers of Satan (full soundtrack including K.A's songs as labelled), 2002ado (full soundtrack), Zone 300, Simply Phobos, Death Tormention, Death Tormention 2, Doom 2 Unleashed Pcorf Community Project, Paul's Deathmatch, Twilight Zone 2 Final Dreams, Doomed Space Wars midis and various midis composed for other projects such as Scythe X, etc. You can download it here.

Snikle Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Very early WIP of the next map I'm making in my OTEX-powered Hell WAD. Too early for the "Doom Pictures" thread even. Another few weeks I'll probably have the entire west side of the map done, maybe even the large central room too, then I'll show some stuff over there. This is the third map I'm making out of 10 planned (Although it's slotted as MAP06), and it's coming along quite nicely now. 5 Share this post Link to post

I have a few hit scan enemies in the first outside area of my first map and a Revenant in the distance, but the number of hit scans vary on the difficulty people choose to play it on. I have put plenty in (mainly zombie men on the outside of the buildings and more powerful hit scan enemies inside the buildings) but they are spread about the map with plenty of places to avoid them. I got a couple of Revenants in dangerous spots where they shoot at you from near enough anywhere, but they are easy to avoid until you gain some more heavy weaponry to kill them. Placing enemies in maps is always difficult. You got to the right enemies in the right areas for good traps and ambushes, and the right number of them too. Even combining different monsters together for a trap or something can be tricky. Chaingunners and Revenants can be a deadly combination imo.

It doesn't need to be a lot - even just finding places to put some really dark textures/flats would help enourmously. Took your advice man and changed the floor texture on the inside so it doesn't look the same as the outside. Using a darker floor texture for the inside adds a bit of contrast so it doesn't look so bright/light everywhere. Thanks for that piece of advice. 👍 (Shots 1 & 2, same as before but with changed floor texture. 3 is outside) 2 Share this post Link to post

Mad Dal 85 Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) After finding a nice star lit night sky in one of the many texture packs I have, I don't know whether to make my first map a day time one, or a night time one and add extra lighting in it to give it more of a night time feel... Both look good, but that night sky looks absolutely amazing. Dunno whether to use it in my first map or save it for another map. 🤔 Edited April 15, 2020 by Mad Dal 85 10 Share this post Link to post
Mad Dal 85 Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) Tried out my map using the night sky (and added some lit lamps around the outside area too) and it just looks so much better than before (please excuse the dead bodies lol) If I do decide to stick with the night time version, I will have to add some lights on the outside walls shining down on to the floor to give it a better night time effect and feel. I do love night skies in Doom wads. That's one thing I love about the Valiant wad, the night skies. 6 Share this post Link to post
