Doomworld Maximum Project 2021 - On IdGames!

This looks like something very fun to do, but I don't think I have the time for it.

I pop in unannounced to say I have made a map for this big project, oh yeah and it may or may not be kinda hard.

Engine: Limit-removing

This took a bit longer than I expected, but hey, I'm finally finished with it.

Cheers heaps to everyone who's submitted maps and apologies for the radio silence: it's been a pretty busy year all told and I have just not had the brainspace to keep an eye on this project like I should have. XP That being said, I have been spending my time putting a hub map together for the finished product and I am pleased to announce that my own map submission is finally finished!

Glad to see this project nearing completion! So many good maps.

How will the maps be ordered in the lineup/map roster? In order of difficulty, theme, submission date?

They'll be sorted by source port and then ordered by submission date, with a hub map in ZDoom-compatible source ports to divide up the maps by source port for ease of access*.

^{*Except for Eternity, heh.}

Is there going to be the issue of >35 vanilla maps?

I would like to hope not, heh.

How do we submit entries? I guess just posting it here counts? Then here is my final entry, uploaded as an attachment.

Name: Valmanic Dreams

Author: Optimus

Engine: Vanilla

Tested with: GZDoom, Chocolate Doom, Chocolate Renderlimits (to seek for those nasty visplanes overflows and reduce detail where needed), original Doom 2 under Dosbox.

p.s. Even had some struggle to make the deep water effect (first time I use this trick) work on both under accelerated GZDoom and original Doom engine.

I might be backing out of this one. There's still so much to do with my map, and I don't know how to tie it all together without it feeling half-assed.

I would like to participate, but I have a question, by what means will the map that I have to deliver be presented?
And this will be like the master levels for doom 2? A compilation of several wads or will they have any continuation?
In that case, you would have to consider the previous maps already presented to know what weapons, difficulty and enemies to put depending on the level, since it is not the same to make a map01 than a map29

I'm assuming it's just going to be a compilation of several wads. That said, if you want your map to have continuation, I don't think you'd be breaking any rules. You'd just have to communicate with the respective mappers.

I had one idea, but I took too long to make it and couldn't be bothered to continue it. Then I got another, more possible idea.

Here's my submission: a small-ish normal limit-removing map, featuring plenty of hitscan. Comes complete with difficulty settings! (HMP designed first.)

The one custom texture is a sky by Chainie, and is implemented via sky transfer. This does technically mean particular limit-removing ports will just show the vanilla sky, but the map still looks fine with that one. I also composed a midi for this map, mostly because I was unaware of anything already made that gave off the right feeling.

The map's name is "Not in good shape".

As explained many times before, all the maps will be in a single wad, but this wad will not have the traditional mapslots structure, the maps will be sorted by format (so all vanilla maps first, then limit removing, then boom and so on) and they'll be reached via a hubmap at the start, so you can play all the maps at any order you want (I'm not sure if pistol starts will be forced tho)

Wow, I really like this map!

Great job.

I'll unfortunately have to pass on submitting a map for this project, got overly ambitious and won't have time to finish. maybe next year!

Hi, I'm also going to have to flake on this. Too many other projects on and I just haven't had time to work on something for it. Sorry!

Loving the look of what people have done so far...

Here is an initial version of my map, while there's still time to test it! Way bigger than originally intended so maybe a bit of a slog, but hopefully not. Some areas still need a clean-up/detail pass. Also still need to test in PrBoom or similar.
It's name is inspired by the song from the awesome new Mastodon album, but also because I bit off way more than I could chew with the length of this thing!

I will update closer to the deadline with the final version.

Name: More Than I Could Chew
Music: Hangar 7 by Jimmy, from the Revolution! MIDI Pack (included in wad)
Format: Boom
Tested in: GZDoom
Custom textures: OTEX v1.1
Custom sky: OTEX v1.1 via sky transfer
Difficulties: Implemented (without much thought)

That first light as you start the map make my eyes go nuts. It's like looking at 3D movie without the glasses on lol!

I want to reserve my slot, because there are 9 days left, and I have don't have enough time. Maybe I should make something if another Maximum Project happens.

i have something!!!

Howdy everyone 😊

I have finally finished working on this map. It was fun to work on, it kept me going though some very tough times. Thanks to Obsidian for hosting this project. Making a Doom map is fun and all, but having a place to publish it takes the hobby to a different level. Cheers! 😀
 

Name: Uncanny Encounters
Author: Russell Bowtell (I would like to be credited as Russell Bowtell, jaysmithen is just a username that I should change lol 😫)

Engine: GZDoom UDMF

Difficulties: Map was made for UV then I spent a day reducing the enemy count for the other skills. Should be good enough for Australia 🍺

Music: None

Sky: The default Doom 2 sky

Lightmode: 2 "Doom"

The map is made with only the Doom 2 textures, but I have added some DECORATE and GLDEFS. It is just a tall yellow torch from realm667/prop stop/light sources/torch variations/NewTorches.wad

PS I don't envy you @Obsidian the task of compiling all these maps, I can't even begin to try to think about thinking about imagining it 😁 Thank you.

Please message me if you have any questions about my map.

Oh yeah almost forgot, here is the link lol

Updated 05-08-2022 (Needed to fix a texture)

@Obsidian Here's a minor update to my submission, 'Metropolitan Mayhem Machine' which fixes some HOMs and incorrect texturing.

@DoomTheRobot Yep, nothing out the ordinary arou-hey wait a minute!

@Kuro_mahoh This is your best map yet, lad. Nicely done. Pretty cheeky and challenging.

I'm going to have to pass on this, year was really hit or miss on when I had time to sit down for stuff.

@Optimus Neat little map, mate. I like the bits of DoomCute with the dumpster and the mechanism at the back of the building.

@WindbagJacket Really awesome, challenging adventure mate. Had me sweating a few times hehe. Nice use of OTEX

Hi again. My map is ready. I'm still not good at the detailing and UDMF stuff after a decade of Boom/Vanilla mapping... yet everything has its time!
