Doom -1: A Doomworld Experiment

[PinkFlamingo]

Why don't we split the WAD in multiple files? Make it modular.

 

For example we can have one sub-WAD containing only the map data and custom textures, another one with just music, another with just sound, one with monster replacements and one with graphic/sprite replacement.

This way, everybody can experience this project however suits them best. Me, personally I would just like to play the new levels with vanilla sounds and vanilla monsters. Maybe I would load the custom music and graphics too.

 

This wouldn't be too difficult to handle in practice, we can place all the sub-WADS in a single .zip or .rar file, like we are already doing now. Then, you only update the files that you make modifications to and zip everything up again.

 

Example of file structure:

NEGATIVEONE_v0.89.zip

would contain:

N1_MAPS_v0.89.wad

N1_MUSIC_v0.89.wad

N1_SOUND_v0.89.wad

N1_GRAPHICS_v0.89.wad

N1_MONSTERS_v0.89.wad

 

Also, if you don't update a file, you don't need to change its version number. Only update the version number when you actually make a change to the file. The zip file name should always have the highest/latest version number.

 

Just a suggestion.

I've now added the Infernal sprites, replacing the Pain Elemental's. I'll leave it up to someone else to change the behaviour in DeHackEd, add new sounds, etc!

 

I've also merged MAP23 with another old unfinished level. Fittingly enough this was originally going to be part of another "round robin" type project, started by Chris Hansen (who designed the starting area). Again, you should note some Dr. Sleep influences in some areas, while others were inspired by Malcom Sailor's Chord G.

 

Like with the unfinished level that's now part of MAP09, it's mostly unpopulated and there are plenty of dead ends, areas that need expanding, and even a switch that does absolutely nothing.

Pain Elementals and Mancubi are fine to replace, since I kinda want the D64 version of the Mancubus, which was the coolest of all the enemies in D64.

I don’t know why, but I don’t really like this idea. I think it’s way easier to just have one  wad, with the levels, music, maps and monsters, because I don’t like having to load more than 2-3 wads to have the full experience.

 

The idea is fine, but I’m used to just having to load 1 wad file.

Added an old cave map of mine as MAP14. Will make more edits to it later.

 

NEGATIVEONE_v0.91.zip

 

Btw, since MAP12 is also a cave map, can it be possible to replace MAP13 and MAP14 with each other in order to have both cave maps in a sequence? 

[Elio AF]

Yooo just wanted to let you know I currently have the file

D64's sprites clash quite badly with Doom 1 and 2's, but this is where I turn to Hell-Forged again as Amuscaria's version is clearly at least partially inspired by D64's:

 

  

 

Edit: Hell-Forged also has a boss-sized Mancubus variant:

Sir, if you could kindly not edit MAP14 as I'm editing it right now. Will merge it with your version of the wad later.

No problem, mate. I'm working on map 23 rn

[Walter confetti]

Anybody have some plans for MAP15? Otherwise, i'll do something for a starting point.

[Elio AF]

MAP23 is architecturally complete now. Also added a few textures.

NEGATIVEONE_v0.92.zip

[YargSilvr]

Added Map 16 (was gonna use it for another wad, but I guess not)

NEGATIVEONE_v0.93.zip

[Rosh Fragger]

Made some slight improvements to MAP14 and changed its music.

 

 

NEGATIVEONE_v0.94.zip

[LoneAlpha2401]

Fixed midi in MAP10 as it didn't loop properly, replaced SKY1, converted all WAV sounds to doom sounds and added DSPUNCH.

 

NEGATIVEONE_v0.95.zip

[Walter confetti]

Done this before the LoneAlpha edits, again.

 

NEGATIVEONE_v0.95b.zip

 

- Added MAP15 map spot, includes both normal and secret exit, but not the route to reach the secret exit

- Added new midi for MAP15 - "Task Force" by Lee Jackson, from Rise of the Triad

- Changed RSKY2 with that classy starry sky that you see everywhere in Doom maps, author pretty unknown

- Changed sprites for zombiemen and shotgunner with sprites used for Z-Spec and another monster from Realm 667, if they aren't good you can always remove them next time!

[WowozuelaSpammer]

ok, i'm working in Map24

 

[LoneAlpha2401]

@Walter confetti Oh well, it should be easy to merge the changes though.

[Roebloz]

If anyone makes MAP15, remember to put a secret exit.

[waciej]

Okey im waiting oof

[YargSilvr]

Someone change MAP16's music to Sign of Evil from the Ultimate Doom, please!

I like to do, but my laptop make works only SlumpED (no joking! I'm using that) and crashes when MIDI plays or Map Images are being open lol

[LoneAlpha2401]

I guess I could merge them once the next version is out.
