I must've made an update just before you linked it to the main post. Please link it again, the current one is dead.

phew... Finally made this

 

Name: fireblu inc. massacre

Vertics:62

MIDI:Drilling By Night (by stewboy)

map: MAP28

Format: Doom 2 vanilla

Build time: 2 hours

 

MAP28.zip

The blue door seems to use tag 0, making every ceiling open as if it were a door.
Same situation happens for the red door.
Linedef 30 and 62 is the wrong way around.
Linedef 71 isn't assigned a tag.
Linedef 72, 73, and 40 erroneously have a linedef action.

Don't feel bad though. I'm just making sure all of the maps are bug-free.

Edit: The back of the blue door is also untextured.

Woops! Done :)

I finished my map just now, although I haven't started composing the MIDI track for it yet. Here's the musicless version in the meantime. Took me about three hours (I started immediately as soon as I got the word) but the challenge of keeping things under 64 vertices was fun! I think I caught all the texture misalignments and flipped linedefs but if there's any I missed let me know,

Since most of the maps are done, I'd like to take the opportunity to announce the deadline. 

The deadline is May 30th, 2022!

Hopefully, this date is so far enough away that you still have enough time to finish your maps.

Interesting, are you guys also looking for composers? :)

With my weird way of excessive conservation, every map would look abstract.

It was once All About the Benjamins, now It's All About the Vertices.

 

Screenshots:

Spoiler

 

I struggled with how a Sin Icon map should be, as the original Icon of Sin relied on having so many sectors to get past Doom's texture limits in order to convey the huge head of the Icon, and thus had so many vertices as well. Not only was I very wary of the 64 vertices limit, but I also wanted to put my own creative spin on it, so I settled for a strange computer-flesh amalgamation.

 

The map currently has 21 out-of-bound Lost Souls because I found the Pain Elemental too annoying with the constant barrage of Lost Souls, so I had to nerf them.

 

About the multiplayer starts requirement...

How am I supposed to properly test multiplayer? I know I can -solo-net, which I have done during testing, but how am I supposed to test deathmatch?

I test my deathmatch using Zandronum.
 

1. Open map in Zandronum
2. Go to Options
3. Go to Multiplayer Options
4. Go to Offline Skirmish
5. Set game mode to Deathmatch
6. If you haven't set up any bots, click Bot Setup and set 'em up
7. Select the level where you're playing
8. Press Start Game!

Here's a few TITLEPIC concepts I came up with: V64 TITLEPIC Ideas.zip
I just drew a circle with 64 verts in UDB, gave it inverted spikes, and then took a shot in 3D view.

Spoiler

Sorry if there's too many or its hard to choose one, ultimately I don't mind if none are used, aaandd hopefully it doesn't just look like a sale sticker lmfao.

Edit: 2 alternative less symmetrical pics:



Could do an M_DOOM as well, but It'd be cool to see what someone else would do for that.

Edited April 25, 2022 by knifeworld : deleted random duplicate pics, added 2 less symmetrical pics

Gotta agree here, even Doom II introduced those monsters much earlier. But if others are happy creating maps with those limits, who am I to judge...

Hi guys, my maps (18) isn't finished yet, but we were talking on clippy's discord about how to get more from your vertices, and I wanted to share a quick video on my map and what I do to get the most map from my vertices. In short, I use triangles, height differences, walls with two linedefs, and lowering floors.

Man, this project has quickly exploded, huh? You guys are map-making machines!

[Quill]

Welp, we're 75% thru the project's development, so I'd like to announce some levels that need fixes.

Those being:

MAP11: Meet Me at the Crate Maze - @rouge_means_red Intended behavior
 

Spoiler

The FIREBLU portal does not work.

MAP25: An Abstract Kind of Space - @Thelokk Fixed
 

Spoiler

Map does not work in Chocolate Doom. It does run partially in Crispy Doom, however.
The floor of Sector 12 not being textured might be the cause.

MAP28: FIREBLU Inc. Massacre - @russin22 Fixed
 

Spoiler

The blue door seems to use tag 0, making every ceiling open as if it were a door.
Same situation happens for the red door.
Linedefs 30 and 62 are the wrong way around.
Linedef 71 isn't assigned a tag.
Linedef 72, 73, and 40 erroneously have a linedef action.

Those maps are marked with 🔧 until they are fixed.

Should be fixed. Let me know if this is not the case, never use Choco so I might very well have messed something else up.
