Doom II Extended: New Wad Idea

[DoomGuy999]

This is Doom II extended, a wad where it keeps the original level intact and adds a new section to the level. Does Entryway feel too short? Could the icon of sin have a better arena? Now it will! I'm not sure whether to make this a community project or not, update coming later. Rules are you can add one more thing and one more texture, but it must fit in with the level. 

 

Comment your ideas, what you expect to see. I would like an opinion before I start this wad.

I would like to add four arch viles to every level in arbitrary locations. No new ammo or anything, just four archies.

Well, I have another project coming up called doom II with a twist, though I'm not sure how well it would fit with this or the other. But we could work on a was which has four archviles in each levek, it sounds fun

While not part of PC Doom2, I'd like to see someone turn Redemption Denied, the closing map for PS1 Doom 2, into a proper arena map with a lot more stages to it than 'barons then two masterminds that take each other out'

Not to be one of those "erhm actually 🤓☝️" guys but wouldn't this count as modifying IWAD levels?

I've had this exact idea before, but mine involves making it seem like it just replaces textures. I would personally make one of those AI upscaled texture mods, and then add myhouse.wad type shit into random maps of doom 2 and drive people insane. This would work ESPECIALLY well on a map like Nirvana, that people constantly get lost in. But I do think expanding the classic maps is a good idea, and that the only real problem is you would have to make sure it doesn't fully emulate the maps - that way people wouldn't just be playing DOOM II in FreeDooM, which is obviously illegal.

This is pretty much what the only wad that I've ever made is, and I even called it Doom II Extended! I don't think I'll ever have the courage to release it though, it's a bit of an old shame, and besides I literally just added on top of the IWAD maps, which is a big no-no now. I'd definitely be interested in playing something like this done by people with better mapping sense than I do.

All that really means these days is that it wouldn't end up on the main archive. Could probably build the map from scratch so it counts as a brand new level that just looks like the original file with extras on top :p

this sort of seems like maps of chaos

That is such a coincident that you named it doom II extended. Sheesh. I can let you make a level, if you want.

Well, it would add a whole new world to entryway, underhalls, and all the other levels. Part of my inspiration was doom II in name only, and doom II in Spain only.

Pretty interested, not gonna lie. Have to think about which map I would do though :/

Do you have a favorite? If your up for a challenge you could try citadel, or if you want to take it slow you can try nirvana
