I won't have a problem recreating that map from memory. 0 Share this post Link to post
Decay Posted September 30, 2021 So I made multiple attempts, and they all came out garbage, and I'd rather not submit a map that is subpar quality. Sorry, but you'll have to find someone else to take the slot :( I didn't anticipate the results being so... bleh. 2 Share this post Link to post

I do sort of want some maps that look like a total beginner made them, as long as they're not broken and unfun. 11 hours ago, Wadmodder Shalton said: What about a bonus map that recreates Map 33 Betray from memory?

Indeed, you should at least share the attempts and see if it's good enough for Engired to include. Not everything will, or indeed 'should' be perfect in these maps, at least in terms of layout. If you think you made the map too easy / too hard, then we can help balance that too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Wavy Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) MAP29: No End for the Living Map Name: No End for the Living Map Slot: MAP29 Difficulty Levels: Normal (With easy and hard somewhat tacked on) Port Tested with: DSDA-Doom v0.21.3 (-complevel 2) This came out far better than expected honestly. I was pretty surprised with the liquid in the large main area being blood in the original instead of lava like in my recreation. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it. Bare in mind that I might need to do some tweaking, but I'm releasing it as-is to get general feedback. Download it here! Actually, not there. Download v1.1 here instead! Screenies: Spoiler Edited December 17, 2021 by Wavy : Update the map to v1.1 to alter some things. 7 Share this post Link to post

Engired Posted October 2, 2021 Hopefully no one else has done in the dark, just because I may have missed it. Here is my version anyway. It's missing instruments because I had no idea what they were. It sounds close enough anyway. Download: In The Dark.zip 2 Share this post Link to post
Kloki38 Posted October 2, 2021 Sorry for the extension, but I was busy with other stuff. Anyway, here is my map16: Sandy´s Neighbourhood MAP16.rar Difficulty: Easy, Medium, Hard Multiplayer: Coop/DM starts, a bit of extra ammo added Tested with: Crispy Doom, GZDoom I am very happy about how this map came out - I screwed up some parts but overall it´s much better than I was expecting.

deleted-account Posted October 9, 2021 Just to be further-clear on rules for composing: Is it ok to hear the song mid-composing? For instance you hear it once, compose about a quarter way through, then listen again for clarification? Or are you only allowed to use your 3 listens before actually composing? Is looking at the original track's instrument order and names in Sekaiju beforehand considered cheating? If you get "totally" lost within the song, is it ok to take some creative liberties with the song? 0 Share this post Link to post

Try to only look at the instrument if you have no idea what it is. Other than that, try to avoid it. 3. Yeah, I'm looking for it. The more you forget, the more interesting the result. 1 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted October 9, 2021 I only got halfway through my map, it’s just so hard to remember the details.. I’ll post what I have tomorrow, I would greatly appreciate if someone could do the other part, as Wavy did for me last time around. Sorry about this, to quote Decay, I hoped the results wouldn’t be so “bleh”.. 1 Share this post Link to post

But any attempt to recreate it almost ends up worse. The only room I like is the blue key room. But any attempt to remake it seems worse and I want it to be less awful. But it almost goes against the grain to remix the maps. 0 Share this post Link to post

But it almost goes against the grain to remix the maps. It's not supposed to be the best, or the most polished. It's supposed to be what you remember from the map. For me, I remember a lot of Bloodfalls, I just don't know how to map, like at all. I've only opened up a map editor once, tried to make a door opening into a pit, couldn't figure it out, and stopped... but that was years ago now. xD This goes for you too, @Doomkid It doesn't matter if it feels 'bleh,' if it's how you remember the map, then that's how Enigred wants it. 1 Share this post Link to post
Dexiaz Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) @Engired I've got some free time and I've decided to create Map33. I didn't played this map for 2 years, but I've decided to not play it before starting doing a map. My version: Now I've opened an original... Well, I won't change anything, because this is the goal of the project. I'll only beta test the balance, so my map would be beatable. Link would be tomorrow. 4 Share this post Link to post
Dexiaz Posted October 12, 2021 @Engired Just finished this map a couple minutes ago. Here goes a link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/wjvyc04moyualua/MAP33_from_Memory_DXZ.7z/file Tested with Crispy Doom, on UV pistol start. 2 Share this post Link to post
mistylear19 Posted October 14, 2021 I'll wait to play it until the entire WAD is done and I can livestream my reaction to it, but judging by the map editor, it doesn't look too bad. You seem to have rememberd that weird map fairly well. I wonder if anyone's gonna tackle the other super-secret Map, or was that for Doom 1? I thought it was for Doom 2, y'know, that whole map with the sewer section with both blue and green areas (green hurt you) that was called 'sewers' or something. 2 Share this post Link to post

But not that good, because I "lost" few switch puzzles, because I didn't remember them well. I'm kinda simplified it. But I think it's even better, because people disliked the original "where the hell I must go now" moment. BTW, I was thinking about making E1M10, but decided to work with Map31 instead. 0 Share this post Link to post
