Doom64Marine Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...I started up a project that involved converting some of the Dark Forces maps over to GZDoom. This must have been nearly nine years in the past, and I haven't visited the forums since. Many things changed in my life, to make a long story short, I had to drop all of my projects and focus on reality. This meant all of my old hard drives, computers, anything I had that contained those maps and resources is gone. I remember playing around with some ideas about making my own versions of SOTE maps as well. Gall spaceport was one that I had been particularly excited about, and recently that got me craving some map making again. I have many ideas but I figured I would start off with something easier than the long, treacherous cliffs of Gall. There are plenty of tweaks, geometry fixes and resources that I have to fix in order to make things work...But here are some screen shots of a single map I'll be making called 'Return to Echo Base'. I was surprised to find many of the same textures from Dark Forces are already in the N64 Classic. Obviously there are some things I'd love to get some help with. I started off this project thinking it would be pretty amazing to have a modified Echo Base as a death match level, with the DF guns and items, but now I'm considering making it something more. Let me know your thoughts and opinions on this! Edited May 5, 2019 by Doom64Marine 5 Share this post Link to post

You aliens make some pretty awesome lookin stuff or should I say "out of this world!" 0 Share this post Link to post
Doom64Marine Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) Made a few changes and additions, playing around with the HUD and weapons. Worked on some new areas, matched all the textures as closely as I could. Started importing and experimenting with 3D models, just to have them. I tracked down a model of the Outrider and Falcon, which will be added at some point as well. :) 3 Share this post Link to post
