PliznoRing Posted July 5, 2022 Hello fellow doomers, I have created my very first deathmatch map for doom, sorry if it's a bit trash, but I'll get better overtime! No TXT this time, just a wad file! Enjoy! GobSmackOnTheRocksBattleTown.rar 0 Share this post Link to post
Pistoolkip Posted July 6, 2022 alright, I bite. here's some feedback: - Mention the port(s) required, and the mapslot - Readme wouldn't hurt either - I don't understand why the map is in UDMF format, as it won't run in ZDaemon, one of the most popular ports for Deathmatch, but there are no UDMF scripts, or other added features. This map could have been vanilla (Doom in Doom 2 format).On the map: - I counted 6 BFGs, that's way too many. They're also very easy to get. This map will be all BFG spam. - The map lacks interconnectivity. Most areas are long, dead end corridors, which isn't great for DM. Check out something like Greenwar to get a grasp on how to design for DM. - Visually, the map is kinda dull, and individual area's don't stand out. The only interesting room to me is the one in the North East, with the nukage. - Traps are fine, but an inescapable damaging pit is really annoying, as you have to wait to die before you can respawn. - The map is also very flat, with little differences in floor and ceiling height. Some quick fixes: - Connect the individual parts of the map more, removing the dead ends. - Add some obstacles in rooms to give players cover and places to move around - Be more deliberate when placing items like ammo and guns - Add some more variety in textures and brightness, and add some dividing textures. I made some edits to the map, to show you what I mean. Find the file attached and check it out. You don't have to use my version, but I want to show you some stuff you can do that still lines up with your skill as a novice mapper. Good luck!
