WAD File: Summer of Slaughter - idgames - Release Version 1

+ SOS_BOOM.wad 

Port: GZDoom

       - Tested in GZDoom

Resources: Otex, compiled in pk3.

IWAD: Doom II

Comments: The Summer of Slaughter is a 38 map megawad created for the tenth edition of the Pineapple Under the Sea Speedmapping series. The event began in July of 2021 and public submissions concluded in early September 2021. Over the past half year this wad has gotten moldy in my fruit cabinet while I looked around my bedroom trying to find my computer's password so I could finish the dang thing. 5 levels were completed after the public submission window: Map10: Slaywatch and Map13: Broodgate by Death Bear; Map14: The Forgotten Offering by Peccatum Mihzamiz; Map25: The Chaosphere by myself; and Map26: Slaughter Incorpserated by Steve88. In addition, six secret levels were developed (in secret) to give this wad a little bit a' glow.

 

The map order has been roughly organized in an 'easy to hard to really hard' order. Latter maps in the third episode will take you some time to beat; earlier maps in the set will be quicker. Although many of these maps are nearly a year old, I will be accepting map updates to many of these. However if any issues are discovered and the mapper never gets around to fixing them, those issues are gonna stay in there.

 

SOS_BOOM is a Boom compatible version of the pk3 compiled by @Danlex. The map order is identical but UDMF maps are replaced with an intermission 'play full game!' map.

 

Known Bugs:

Map31 tends to chug a bit due to it's sheer linedef density. Fights tend to be easier when you don't look at the details.

**You will need to play with your video mode set to Hardware Accelerated else some UDMF shenanigans are gonna look funky.**

Acknowledgements:

Huge thanks to all recurring PUSS mappers and the very patient participants of PUSS X who have waited very diligently for me to release this wad. This wad has some of the greatest stuff I've ever seen people cram into a PUSS. What started as a wonderful suggestion by Steve88 has blossomed into an incredible series that I am privileged to pollute the doomworld forums with. The Summer of Slaughter is a fantastic display of many incredibly talented people and it brings me great pleasure to finally squeeze it out into the world!

This was 'the big one.' Larger than life ambitions for little things like custom intermission screen animations made getting this bad boy out on time a long ordeal it shouldn't have been. Dropping my laptop into a volcano also didn't help matters.

 

Special thanks to the secret mappers, Danlex, notTyrone, Pierrot, Myolden, and DeathBear for absolutely knocking the secret map gimmicks out of the park and straight into the sun!

 

Here's the original project thread.

Hell yeah!!! So glad to see this project finally being released after almost one year of development. It was a pleasure to be part of it as a mapper and as a "compilation assistant".

Definitely my favorite PUSS wad so far.

I do want to take the time to mention how instrumental you were in this wad's release. Back in the fall of last year Dan was working very closely in creating a bunch of custom assets for the project as well as organizing and carefully curating the submitted levels to create as best an experience for the player as possible. Without your help this wad wouldn't be as half as good as it is now, and it probably wouldn't be out right now all things considered :p

Congratulations everybody on the RC1 release!

[Blip]

Holy crap there's almost 40 maps now, I need to catch up :P. Congrats on RC1 release!

I played through the maps in the Boom wad and had a blast!  I will play the UDMF maps when I get back to it but for now, it's been a fun ride.  One thing that was noticed in my playthrough was that map30's monster teleporters tend to result in a lot of monsters telefragging each other and breaking their intended encounters since it's in the 30 slot.

I see Electric Wizard song title. I download.

This is an unintended side effect of my deciding to keep the mapslots in parity across the two wads. The simple solution I think is to push 30 and 29 down a slot on the boom edition while leaving 30 open as a 'hey the map order changes here.' It's not ideal but it'll work. I had mistakenly assumed that telefrags only affected the player and not the monsters as well. Damn shame too cause Map30 is one of the best in the set.

Hello, is there a problem with MAP26? 

It seems i cant find progression to reach the yellow key...i even used an archvile jump but then the doors shut and after that they wont open any more...i really dont know whats going on.

[Steve88]

@Austinado Did you find the Spider mastermind room straight forward from where you enter the hitscan areana? The switch is behind the mastermind, this releases a cyber, kill him and it lowers the yellow key, though i am changing this to a timer in the next update, and changing the door texture.

 

[Babos]

It has good difficult courses, but it should not have been filled with empty courses, it takes away a lot from the game.

The intention is to create parity between the maplists of the two separate wads. So map15 on both the full pk3 and the boom wad will both be the same map rather than it being a different slot.

[Babos]

Yes, there are 2 of the 15 levels, but where there are 0 enemies, there are many.

Hey, great set of maps but one thing that bugs me... what is the song used in map 10 'Slaywatch': I can't find it out and it's driving me crazy! :D

It’s the theme song to Baywatch transposed to midi

Oh, It's so obvious! Thanks anyways! 

[Soulless]

Really enjoying this set, finished 1st episode plus the secrets maps, Morumotto by danlex was really epic.

Congrats to everyone involved, I feel this PUSS is going to be among my fav for sure.

[|Raph|]

I just finished playing all the maps and really enjoyed them. El Inferno's map design clearly hits my weaknesses in Doom because his two maps are the ones I struggled the most.

 

There is a problem in map 31 where sometimes you take the green teleporter and the monsters start teleporting in and sometimes they don't.

 

Thank you to everyone who worked on this project, you really gave me some great time playing!! :)

[Redneckerz]

@BluePineapple72In the OP, MAP31 seems errornousely listed as MAP31 when it is MAP32 in game.

Turns out there is an error: The pk3 and wad have different map numbers.

• SOS_Boom.wad has map32 as the pentagram, Summer_Of_Slaughter.pk3 has it as map31

[BluePineapple72]

Now on idgames, VERSION 1!

 

@Redneckerz this is an intentional feature. I've made a note of it in the textfile. Essentially, on map30 for Boom ports, we can't have a map in that slot due to the hardcoded telefragging changes that accommodate the icon of sin, so for the boom version only we slide 30 and 31 to 31 and 32 respectively.
