Please tell me what I can do to improve.

[Brad_tilf]

you could start by giving that hallway some detail.

[thedemonsarecoming]

What hallway?

[The Ultimate DooMer]

I think he means the one in the screenie.

[DarkWolf]

There's a lack of detail in general. The door are a bit too wide too.

[thedemonsarecoming]

Ill try and work on that. Was the other stuff okay, difficulty, health, ammo?

[Stealthy Ivan]

Hmm.... All I must say is More Detail... But keep up the good work, and eventually you might have something cool.

[Torn]

well, what I will say now, is much of the same the others said.
But pretty okay/good for first release. :)
Next time, please give a note, that it is for zdoom. But all it was used for was some text message?.

Here is some things:

* Use various heights, because most of your rooms where 128 tall, and they seemed flat somehow.

* Use more different textures, eg: the start, try use more of the star* textures :)

* align the texture better; i saw some deadly disalignments there...

* More detail.

You Could also read the Wad Designers Hand book.

Btw, it is also map26 of freedoom, I know there is some errors in it :).

Well, keep on mapping :)

It was also used for making the marines fight the monsters in the hallway and removing the spawn spots after monsters teleported in. For some reason even though I didn't have the linedefs repeatable everytime I crossed it another monster popped out.

hmmm... You could make it for doom2.exe, if you made the former human and sergets having marine skin. And I feel this text message worstless.

Yes, but they wouldn't have fought the imps. The only way I know how to do it is with Thing_Hate. I also used ZDooM to make it so you started with the shotgun out.

I guess the text message was worthless, but it was going to need ZDooM anyway.

They would act like the humans, and they attack the monsters too... :)

Eternity and Legacy have objtarget() using Fraggle Script. But of course, that still limits the map to a source port.
