My third wad, but this time it's not a meme wad

[Charbomber]

Finally, I made a wad that is not meme related and I made in my own free time and I can share it online (still not porn, what the fuck is up with you). This is a boss map for UDMF, although uses custom textures from another wad, the textures are pre-packaged with the wad, your welcome. Everything you CAN do in ZDoom is possible (E.G. free look, crouching, jumping). And yes, the music WAS free to use, it wasn't just stolen. The textures were done by Jimmy, great guy, go to his stuff. Mr Chris makes song compilations for DooM (from what I have heard from people) and I'm not sure he credits the song creators themselves, or I may just be dumb, and if I am, check out https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/music/rockit25 for it contains not only the music I used but also a text file explaining it.

I recommend you to put images c.c

I keep forgetting, hold on.

You have 18.45 MB of an unidentified texture pack in this wad, for a single map that only has 144 lines. In future you should focus on only including resources you actually use.

Also it's a requirement around here to credit the creators of resources you've used, which you have not yet done so.

Doors drag the textures down and I couldn't figure  out how to finish the level. Too big for what it is, whats making up the bulk??

[TheMightyHeracross]

There's a giant gaping HOM five seconds into your map (this happens at all 4 doors):

 

 

You scripted the level's sole monster to raise sector 666 on death without actually putting a sector tag 666 in the map, thus making the map unbeatable. How did you not notice this in playtesting? Did you test at all?

On top of that you stole an entire texture pack and a MIDI, not only plagiarizing and disrespecting the community's talented artists, but also bloating up this WAD- basically an inferior version of E2M8- to 18.8 MB, which is just silly.

This is obviously still a meme WAD in some way. Sorry but please try harder to make a good map. It is not difficult. All you need to do is add more monsters (normal ones), more varied geometry and it's instantly better.

I thought I changed that, but I guess GZDoom doesn't want to edit my files then, but either way, that wasn't my fault.

 

Also, you know that you have to wait like 2 seconds before door 666 opens, right?

 

Also the music was actually gotten from a post that the creator SAID was free to use, I'll link it if you want.

I would credit the creators if I could, I'm not sure who made the textures, either TEX or JoM or something, because it's titled "jom5_zoontex". I got it from JoM if that helps, it's a discord server.

I didn't try to make it difficult, nor is it a meme wad. I just tried to make an E2M8 styled bossfight, don't call is a meme wad because of that and that alone.

[Dragonfly]

It's Zoon-tex, by @Jimmy.

 

Always, always seek the correct credits for resources you use and include them with your wad when you distribute said work. Not crediting those who's hours of hard work you're borrowing from is a quick way to upset people.

do you think tex is like a person who just makes a bunch of texture packs or something

Hey, I'm new, ok? I've only seen like two "texture packs" with the name TEX slapped on them. what do I know?

[Charbomber]

I forgot to credit the song creator, sorry! I put it in.

Point to me where sector tag 666 is on the map.

 

 

And "being new" isn't an excuse to conveniently forget to credit people's resources. Like, did your teachers in high school never make you "cite your sources"? A lot of people work very hard on providing resources to the community- for free- and only ever expect to be credited by their names for it. That should be general principle no matter what the context, Doom modding or otherwise.

Then you'll have to take it up with the folks from Joy of Mapping if you're actually allowed to be using their texture pack or not, and who to appropriately credit.

Mr. Chris, now known as Glaice made compilations, not original music. If you've taken something straight from one of those, check the text files for the original author.

Oh my GOD. Ok, so, for some reason GZDB isn't saving my progress some times, I'll get a bug fix out soon with everything in place. Also, being new isn't my excuse for forgetting to credit, I never said it was. Forgetting to credit was entirely on me, and I know that, which is why I changed it.

Thanks for the info, I can now credit the original author! I'm sorry for not noticing this, but later could you maybe make another post instead of editing an old one? Thanks.

[Tristan]

What? I didn't.

[Charbomber]

Oh, that's what it looked like, I guess something happened on my end, thanks for the feedback and help though.

[Reisal]

Judging by the screenshot Hera posted, it appears you still are trying. Here's a suggestion to try: Make a small tech base (IE similar in size to my Chill Base or Whack maps) to get used to the mapping if necessary and produce a single level that doesn't use external textures. Surprise us, intrigue us, but most importantly, don't rush.

 

Do remember we're here to help you.

Thank you for the encouragement! Maybe I will make a level with a tech base :)
