wumbo Posted August 10, 2023 @EPICALLL I think I know why all of the custom textures aren't loading in the level editors. When I looked through the WAD in Slade because the textures weren't loading, I found the obvious issue. There's no patch table or TextureX. All of the custom sidedef textures must be put in the patch table and texturex in order to load in with custom names. I completely forgot how to add these archives in, but there are several tutorials online about both custom flat and wall textures. Please fix this, because all of the custom textures look awesome in my opinion. 0 Share this post Link to post

SMG_Man Posted August 10, 2023 Would like to request slot 31. Never mapped in Boom format before, so I'll try to learn and really make use of the features it offers. 0 Share this post Link to post

wumbo Posted August 10, 2023 By the way, @EPICALLL, if you need any MIDIs for the title, text, or intermission screens, I'm your guy. I started composing music several years before I got into Doom, so if you don't have anything for those in mind at the moment, just ask. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
BeachThunder Posted August 10, 2023 Okay, put me down for MAP27. I'm not gonna start work on it immediately, but I definitely need something to work on after I finish my megawad (again). Hopefully, I'll be done with that in the next couple of days. I also probably really need to try doing some Boom stuff and not just UDMF everything all the time. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted August 10, 2023 There's no good reason to limit the project to exactly-32-maps or Boom format -- they're both antiques. UMAPINFO and MBF21 are much better targets, especially the former since you'll absolutely run into troubles hitting the exact map count . Either you'll get less submissions than expected and then be forced to fill in the gaps, or the project slots will fill up early and otherwise-interested people will not attempt to participate because the project is "full" -- or an evil combination of both, where slots fill up and then some people never deliver their maps, so you get both problems at once. You're much better off keeping the number of maps in each episode theme fluid and adapt to what you get. 7 Share this post Link to post

Doomy__Doom Posted August 10, 2023 I'll throw my hat in for Map 32. Secret levels seem to be my lot in CP mapping. Does the map need to feature a death exit? I'll second suggestion for MBF21/UMAPINFO though while the project is still in annoucement stage. A minimal change that gives: - sane sky assignment without transfer spam woes - generalized crushers that actually work - death exits that don't destroy ears - block ground units line, block players line, kill monsters sector, kill player sector are great utility effects - monsters not falling off into unreacheable pits to traumatize speedrunners It's pretty much "boom with QoL" in absense of custom dehacked. If you want to stick to raw -cl9, that's fine by me, I'm still in. 0 Share this post Link to post

Before I get any more comments about this, I deliberately made it Boom-compatible. End of story. Also most megawads are 32 maps, if this was shorter, I feel like this thing wouldn't feel very full as it is divided up into episodes. 0 Share this post Link to post
