Deadly Standards 3 - a Episode 3 Community Project with a twist (idgames ready!)

[Walter confetti]

No, there's no problem! Take your time!

Anyway, i know that you're working on your akeldama map...

[Walter confetti]

Hi, how progress going guys?

[Roofi]

Hello , I'm working on a new map , I will share screens when the map will be nearly completed.

[Walter confetti]

Ok... We'll wait to see what do you done of new instead of that STEP4 building you made... Or is the same map?

[Philnemba]

I regret to inform that I'm dropping out of this community project due to mappers block and lack of interest in Doom mapping.

 

I still have a small incomplete version of my map that I started two months ago although its just the starting room but I'll post it anyway so it wouldn't go to waste.

I wasn't satisfied of my first idea . I didn't have the textures I needed to do what I wanted to do. Here is a rather atmospheric limit-removing level that I am preparing.

Here is a litte screen of a very wip area

 

 

 

EDIT : Another Angle of view

 

[Walter confetti]

Looks really creepy, Roofi! Loving it!

 

@Philnemba sorry to hear that, I'll free your slot! If anyone wants to work and complete what Phil did please let me know!

 

I was also thinking about the @ShadesMaster map, are you still working on it or it is completed?

Hi, just got a PM from liberation saying that he leaves the project, so I'll free E3M2 too...

[Lord_Z]

I probably don't quite qualify as a "new" mapper but I'd like to give this a shot.

[Walter confetti]

Sure, go ahead.

What slot do you want?

[Lord_Z]

E3M2 would be fine. Is there any deadline I should try to have it done by?

[RonnieJamesDiner]

I just picked up Doom 1 on Steam, and am playing through it again for the first time in decades. If there's still a slot open, I'd love to participate!

Fine, you've got it.

And no, there's not a strict deadline, just when you finish your map. You can try by the end of the year, if you really want to have a deadline to work.

Good, you've got E3M3!

Awesome, this should be fun.

 

You mentioned it has to be in limit-removing format. I'm fairly uneducated when it comes to the various formats and source ports, is there a specific port (or set of source ports) that I should be aiming to be compatible with? I'm just not sure what I should be using to test the map.

For testing purposes, you can use Chocolate doom and above ports like Crispy Doom or boom -complevel 3

 

A limit-removing map is a map made in vanilla doom (Doom in doom format, according to doom builder options) but leaving any VPO or other vanilla doom bugs like slime trails and similar things

[Firedust]

Wait, is ep 2 done?

[Walter confetti]

Sort of, is released as a alpha release still on the works (waiting for doing fixes on my map , NeedHealth fixings on our stuff at E2M5 and Primeval for the music. I read like 1 or 2 month ago on Facebook that Primeval had a incident with his musical equipment, saying that the music works will be take a little stop for now... I still have to ask him about it) as mentioned in the OP post

We can always ask other composers to get some variety in music.

Thanks for the clarification!

Sure, if some of our musicians wants to do it, be our guest!

[RonnieJamesDiner]

Quick question, is there a position on whether or not the map should be coop compatible?

[Walter confetti]

Yes, put at least the 4 players spawn spot for cooperative playing, I did in this way for my map in deadly standards 2.

 

If you want to add things placement only for spicing up things in coop play you are free to do it!

[NeedHealth]

Did anyone get around to playtest e3m1?

Hey, I just downloaded the available maps. I'll hopefully play through them today sometime, so I'll post my thoughts!

Sounds good!

 

 

I just wanted to pop my head in and say, hello! I've been tinkering away at my map, but it's definitely taking longer than I anticipated. Just thought I'd let you guys know what was up, and share a screenshot of some of the progress.

 

 

[Walter confetti]

Looks pretty awesome RonnieJamesDiner!

And thanks for reviving this thread (a thing I should have did by myself, but I was busy with other stuff)!

 

Also this October I will be pretty busy with NaNoWadMo (and maybe other irl things), so I can't be that present on this thread... Anyway how's other people progress on their maps?

[RonnieJamesDiner]

Thanks! And not a problem. I'm excited to see the results of NaNoWadMo, I'm sure there will be tons of awesome content to play when October is finished. Hope you have a ton of fun doing it! 

[The_SloVinator]

Good that this is still alive. ^^

Would love to playtest this one day.

@NeedHealth

 

I took e3m1 for a test run, and really enjoyed it. It's short and sweet, not too difficult, and feels perfect as an opening to the episode. Some fun little fights and ambushes littered throughout. I also really liked the style of the hellish marble, and the massive abyss, both kind of engulfing and dismantling what I can only imagine was once a tech-sort of base. Didn't find any secrets, unfortunately!

 

I tested this with GZDoom. I tried loading the map with Chocolate Doom but it crashed instantly.

 

I noticed one little texture miss, when this wall comes down to reveal some Imps --

 

Spoiler

 

[Lord_Z]

I am nearly finished my map and I hope to be posting it this weekend.

 

I also noticed the crash that RonnieJamesDiner mentioned. The new sky texture wad kills Chocolate Doom for whatever reason.
