Geant Doom 2 Wad (1 map only but...)

[Arrown]

Hi,
Please see our only map, a map that we done for Doom 1 (in 1992 on DEU!, yes, yes, we are old) (that why the double-shotgun is coming late) and for Doom 2 and finally done for the differents motor like ZDeamon, Zandronum or other. Mean, the map upgrade every years since 1992 until .... 2020 (and will cintinue)!

 

Our gameplay is the following :
   - Ultra violence
   - FastMonsters with no respawn
   - Never lose
   - And can't jump (Important because the map is not done for that, gameplay will be out if you can jump).

 

This map is a work during many years, that's why this map is smart despite more than 2000 monsters. Monsters are not pushing everywhere whitout logic but intelligent. Anyway Doom stay a brutal game but the real gamers will see the differents :-)

 

 

Leave a comment, the work are amazing ! (I think !)

Wow! A map from 1992? Are you guys some time travellers that got a copy of Doom 2 and DEU 2 years in the future from 1992, then return back to your timeline and started making this map? That's incredible!

 

Jokes aside, this looks interesting to play, when I return home I'll download it. I can't see the pics because the connection kinda sucks where I am

We are back from the futur !

By the way, please test it and let me know what you are thinking :)

Despite this wad being 2 years older than Doom2 itself, these maps look pretty darn cool based on those screenshots!

Hello team,

 

Did you have a chance to test ? Some feedback could be nice :)

Did you finish it :)

[Arrown]

Youhou, anyone tested it ? :) Impatience to read you

tbh, it is quite hard to play with  2100+ monsters. my PC couldn't even keep it at 20 FPS. the map looks interesting and complex, but playing it at 10-15 FPS is really painful. ;-) this may be one of the reasons you don't get more feedback: people just moving it down their playing lists ("oh, i'll try it later, it's too big and slow"), and then simply forgot to play it again.

 

i love the size and exploration, but couldn't force myself to keep playing due to framerate. i don't know what to advice here, because i understand why such big map needs so many monsters, but... dunno, maybe split it to several maps with central hub? this will require advanced sourceport with hub support, but the whole thing may become more accessible.

Hi Ketmar,

 

This is really strange, we are playing this game since few years and the framerate was perfect ! The only case I got low FPS is when I've activated HD Texture.

 

We are using Zandronum, here, for example a version of 2012 : 

 

 

Can you describe which application and parameters are you using ?

We are also playing with Brutal Doom, and Framerate is OK

 

Anyway, Thanks a lot for your feedback, I was waiting someone to test it. :)

Not trying to sound like an asshole, but please next time politely ask an english speaker to translate your text instead of using Google Translate.

as i am the developer of k8vavoom, i am using k8vavoom to play. ;-) but even with Zandronum 2k monsters may be problematic for people with older machines. i'd say that common safe margin is around 800-900 monsters.
