I'm going to back out of including these maps as I don't feel they fit the style of this project.

It would be cool to actually do the whole Doom 2 instead of 20 levels. Maybe it could be done for the 30th anniversary of Doom 2. While still being vanilla.

Interesting concept,just a question: this project aims for a modern remake of the original doom maps, right?

Something like this, right?

The "this" in your post is an awesome megawad that's a blast to play.

You gotta remember the guy isnt done with that project, pretty sure the when its done all 32 levels will be complete. Im just saying that because im excited for this project.

hey guys hey

You know, this project is pretty cool. Remember when I played some of your maps and put them on the youtube? Well a guy who hangs out in my comments, Stavi Vanackerson, felt inspired to make a map from memory. It's interesting that this project caused this motivation  - I don't think he's even on doomworld

But here is video anyway

Just thought I would share - I think it's great how this project reached out in such a way

This is my current WIP of E3M7 The Gate to Limbo, and Can I use a custom midi?

Why are you speed mapping for a non-speed mapping project? I know Redoom didn't give very detailed instructions but, it seems a bit silly to rush your maps when nobody else is doing that... 

I just realized that my first two maps would have been a perfect fit for this project. 🤔

I enjoyed your episode one maps the most - are you planning to continue on or have you moved on to doom 2?

Thanks! 😊 I’m continuing to map on E1. Currently on-off working on E1M3. Will take some time but eventually there will be a „Knee Deep Again“ release. That’s the plan. 😎

Here's my E3M7 entry..

If we are allowed custom music, here's a version of my map with custom music: E3M8.zip

Ok can I get out of this, I kinda dont feel like mapping now.


 

Here is my vision of E1M5, Phobos Lab.

Phobos Lab is the first level in the original game with teleporters. I imagine that the Phobos Lab is where the initial teleportation experiments happened on Phobos (aside from the Anomaly itself) so I wanted to highlight that with giant machinery, room-sized computers and prototype teleportation pads. 

The wad should run under vanilla limits in Chocolate Doom, but was also tested with PrBoom+. I wanted to keep that classic Doom feel and keeping it under the original limits helped with that.

Let me know what you think :-)

This is an awesome interpretation of my favorite Episode 1 map, @Captain Toenail. I think I noticed some Doom 3 and Halfe-Life influences nicely implemented in vanilla. ;-) Big rooms with machinery and all surrounded by offices. Nice techbase!

Nicely done, intricate layout. Progression seems a bit complex. Cacos and Lost Souls are the perfect enemy for the big tech caverns -  yet they don't appear in the original. I know, in the end it's gameplay tradeoff... Good map!

@sectrslayr Thank you for the glowing review, glad you enjoyed it!

@Clippy Thanks for taking the time to record and play the map, appreciate it. Looks like you got a little lost! You actually got 8/9 secrets - the map powerup secret failed to trigger - I will need to fix that.

After viewing I realised I forgot to place explosive barrels in the map and deathmatch starts. Also I will get rid of that blinking effect to the north because honestly it was making me feel a bit queasy myself. Quick fixes expect a new download later today.

Again, thanks for playing. can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with.

Awesome I truly loved this map and I'm glad to hear my video helped you fix some stuff

Good times

Really like the map, I like how you make the map look like a real place, especially the one with the prototype Cyberdemon, good stuff! My complain is, sometime I have lost when searching the red key, because I so stupid not to realize there's a switch behing the table that lowers it, still pretty good for the most part.

@lokbustam257 Thanks for the feedback - based on this I have made some of the buttons more noticeable.

Here is the updated version.

Changes:

• Spoiler

   

  • Made some essential buttons more obvious
  • Removed blinking sector lights in northern area
  • Computer map column is wider so secret sector is triggered
  • Added explosive barrels
  • Added deathmatch starts
  • Small texture tweaks
  • Small item position tweaks

I'm remaking my levels with a focus on limit-removing features. (I think that's allowed now, if I read correctly.) E3M3 is going for more of a fleshy techno-hell theme, and E4M5 is more of a floating fire-and-brimstone hell temple sort of deal. I'll update with screenshots when they're ready! I'm excited for these two levels.

What? Where did you read that?

Redoom posted that limit removing is allowed on May 23, it's on page 4 if you're looking for it.

Well shit. Someone should have slapped me harder when I posted information on vanilla mapping limits after that... now I've gone and spent the last two weeks painstakingly crafting details within the restrictions. :(

Don't even worry about it! I love limit-breaking stuff, but it's also fun what people can do with the restrictions. I'm actually working on a vanilla compatible megaWAD as a side project. There's something charming about how abstract and chunky things look.

Just noticed now I'm assigned to E2M1. If somebody drops off the project and I get reassigned, mention me.
