Dubbag Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) "The Redux" is a remake of my first ever map that was posted online back in the year 2005 on the website "Doom Wad Station". It was archaic, ugly, and contained a lot of visual errors and horrible sounds that I had placed into it. I didn't even know how to align textures right back then but being only 13 at the time I guess it could have been way worse. I am now 27 and have decided to breathe new life into this map and make it something that's actually worth playing. This WAD contains the remake of the WAD as well as the original featured as MAP02. That way you can switch between the new version and the classic one and compare if you'd like! I really hope that you like this because it's generally a showcase of the advancement of my knowledge of WAD editing as a whole thus far but most of all because I want you to have fun! It's about time this map got it's proper justice! Please tell me if you like the new looks and gameplay! I know my recent map was a "Snow map" as well, but this one always was to begin with. INFO ------------------------------ IWAD: Doom 2 Work's best with GZdoom Maps: 01,02 Difficulty: Mildy Hard Play length: About 30 minutes ----------------- The Story IT was 15 years ago today. 15 years since the breakthrough of the beasts that slayed all of my friends. However, their deaths seemed selective, as if I were spared purposely in order to remember the power of those things and what ever was leading them. There was a name written in blood on the floor. I can't remember what it was. But I don't think I'd want to. After many years of blocking out memories of death and pain and sights no mortal man should ever see, I had forgotten many details. This is the account of my experience after enduring the most vivid nightmare ever conceived. The night I saw it all again, in perfect clarity..... https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/s-u/theredux --------------------------------------------------------------------- @Clippy's gameplay and fantastic commentary Edited August 15, 2021 by Dubbag 8 Share this post Link to post

Dubbag Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Ok thank you for letting me know. Did you like the map other wise? Edited December 13, 2019 by Dubbagdarrel 0 Share this post Link to post
Caleb13 Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) It's pretty standard fare, I wouldn't mind playing 5 or 10 more maps like MAP01. The only thing I didn't like were the custom sounds and invisible monsters in MAP02. Oh, and Gzdoom reports these errors during startup: Invalid data encountered for texture theredux.wad:UNTITLED Texture 'UNTITLED' references itself as patch 0 Share this post Link to post

Clippy Posted August 15, 2021 Lol I have no idea why that g is there I was out in the country and had bad internet earlier and it was really hot Anyway I played the remake and you did an absolutely spectacular job revamping this map and turning into something really entertaining to play versus my unfortunate run at the original. Great times this is the most fun I've had playing Doom in a while. Absolutely loved all the changes and the new finale was great Good work I hope more people play it I look forward to 2030 when you do the reredux 1 Share this post Link to post
