Antnee Posted October 11, 2018 3 hours ago, Nevander said: Not sure if I understand why he draws a thin sector and raises it behind where the switch goes. It is entirely not needed. You can use the back wall itself to set up a switch. I guess the only reason why it might be desired is because of how Doom 64 actually draws the switch, it floats out from the wall by a couple units. So that thin sector would make up for the gap, but regardless it still seems like unnecessary extra work just for a simple switch. To add on to that, in D64ex the switch itself acts more like a "thing" than a texture. It's actually lit by the Thing lighting, not the upper/lower lighting. 0 Share this post Link to post
Chopkinsca Posted October 11, 2018 I'm interested in this, but I can't commit to making a map at the moment. Good luck. 0 Share this post Link to post
snapshot Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Forgot how awful Doombuilder 2 was, there's no dynamic grid size, no autoselect for all linedefs on same line, wish GZDB-BF adds support for D64EX someday. The texture selection is also rather limited, even with the additional resource pack loaded. 0 Share this post Link to post

Advice: create the layout/geometry with GZDB in Vanilla Mode. After that import/reopen this map in DB2 and finish it. That's way better 1 Share this post Link to post
snapshot Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks :) but I think I'll just stick with DB2 for now, it's just a minor annoyance and I think I'm starting to get used to it. 0 Share this post Link to post

StevenC21 Posted October 11, 2018 @tempdecal.wad @DeXiaZ You guys mean Doom Builder 64, right? You can't use normal Doom Builder 2. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted October 11, 2018 DB64 was forked from DB2, not from GZDB, and therefore it doesn't have the added features and interface improvements of GZDB. 1 Share this post Link to post
hardcore_gamer Posted October 11, 2018 I hate dynamic grids. I like just having them fixed and being able to control it manually. 0 Share this post Link to post
snapshot Posted October 11, 2018 Luckily you can turn it off from the Edit menu in GZDB, I prefer to have it on so I can just Zoom In to decrease the Grid Size. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nevander Posted October 12, 2018 I was wondering if we should have an actual name for this mapset or just stick with "Doom 64 EX Doomworld Community Map Project"? Also I wanted to clarify which map should exit to Go 64 It. I see the OP still mentions one of @Kore's maps as the exit. Does he already have the exit planned out? I need to know because I'd like to add the exit to it on MAP01 just like the original map flow unless Kore already has it all set up. I don't know what was decided (if anything). 1 Share this post Link to post
riderr3 Posted October 12, 2018 Agree. New original title (maybe sub-title) would be appropriate. 1 Share this post Link to post
Antnee Posted October 12, 2018 You know, it crossed my mind that the Artifacts weren't discussed. Should we not use them, or do you want to assign them to a specific slot? Like red = map 11, purple = 32, etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
Thedoctor989 Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) what about "Doomguy's Nightmares" but then again Doomguy to the demons are a nightmare.. also i think it would be EPIC if we made this into a cinematic intro for our map-pack: Edited October 12, 2018 by Thedoctor989 0 Share this post Link to post

Yeah, I don't think it was decided at all. The slots aren't final either, so go ahead and take it if nobody objects. Edited October 12, 2018 by Kore 2 Share this post Link to post

Antnee Posted October 12, 2018 2 minutes ago, GoatLord said: How did you manage to have doors in those foreground walls while also being able to see the background? The No Occlusion flag on linedefs keeps them from "blocking" things in the background. Use that in tandem with the BLANK textures. 1 Share this post Link to post
snapshot Posted October 12, 2018 This might be a good time to ask, how do you make switches animate when pressed? I thought it would be as simple as giving it a SW1 or SWA Texture like in the original game but no, the switches do work but they don't change their texture. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kore Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) I bet you're adding a switch texture to the midwall just like that. That won't work. Set up your linedef like this. 0 Share this post Link to post
Koko Ricky Posted October 12, 2018 I'm feeling a lot more confident about mapping now. I think I'm going to get started today. 1 Share this post Link to post

Like red = map 11, purple = 32, etc. My vote kinda depends on how many maps we end up with. If we have less than the full 32, I suggest we keep them standard with regular Doom 64 (level 25 to 27 not replaced, 28 for the boss, and 29 to 32 secret). This is so the standard Doom 64 secret maps can still be used if we don't get enough new ones. Unless someone wants to design a map as strictly being a secret map, then we can replace on that basis. If we get the full 32, we can place them arbitrarily around the mapset (where the only secret maps are 31 and 32). Maybe roughly every 10 maps one is placed in a secret area? Once again, unless someone specifically wants thiers to be a secret map. This can probably wait until we have most of the maps completed, once we can see how they will be spread out. Then we will have a better idea of how to proceed with secret maps and artifacts. 0 Share this post Link to post

Dexiaz Posted October 12, 2018 The Doom 64 logo is too blurry here. BTW, just "Legion"? I think it's kinda a bad cliche. There are a lot of "Legion of Something" in names. I'll prefer the "EXtermination" (anything EX~) 0 Share this post Link to post

As for the name of the project, my vote goes for: 5 hours ago, HexenMapper said: Doom64: EXile Can't wait to check out the maps, what I've seen so far seems promising, I'm hyped. Now I just need to decide whether I should wait for the final product or check out each map individually as soon as it becomes available. I'll probably do the latter. 1 Share this post Link to post
Dexiaz Posted October 12, 2018 It would be funny to use "Doom 64: EXpanded", but this project is not the classic expansion... 0 Share this post Link to post
