PUSS XXXII: D-30 (Dev thread) (Event Released)

[Death Bear]

Folks, it’s that time of the year! With Doom’s Dirty Thirty quickly approaching, I decided it was time to get festive at the Pineapple Under the Sea. So, admittedly, our long-planned sequel to a certain Hellish event got the boot (for now), and we’re going to have another birthday bash! (This time, not for ourselves). Since this game is 30, flirty and thriving, with a community that’s (as the kids are saying these days) “bussin”...it’s time to dust off the DOOM.wad here at the HQ and get to mapping!
 

I welcome you to D-30. We continue PUSS Series Seres IV with a tribute to the classics. This is the closest thing you’re getting to a “Doom the Way PUSS Did” or “PUSS the Way iD Would’ve Wanted Us to Speedmap It” or “Knee-Deep in the PUSS” or what-tf-ever. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, or necessarily freshen up the iwads, here.

Now, the only thing that’s missing… is YOU. Come get some D with us! (Doom. I mean Doom. What am I, 8 years old?)

 

PLEASE READ ALL RULES AND MAPPING GUIDELINES

 

iWad: DOOM.wad (I’m assuming most of us play off the Ultimate Doom, but I likely won’t be using the fourth episode).

Format/ Target: Doom (Doom format). Limit-Removing. Make sure it runs in Crispy, and hopefully we can get it to work in most everything else, too.

Difficulty Settings: Yes, please! I will do them arbitrarily if you don’t.

Co-Op/ Multiplayer: Please keep in mind Co-op gameplay, and make sure to put in starts and check for soft-locks. Extra stuff for co-op would also be nice. Deathmatch starts are not required. I’m arbitrarily adding co-op starts if you don’t.

Pistol-Start/ Continuous: Balance for a pistol-start, but I would suggest dropping some health packs or something at the end for continuous players.

Build Time Limit: Nope. Not this time. But our deadline is pretty solid. So, if you want to “speedmap” it, that’s fine. Either way, you’ve got a limited time.

Classic Theming: We’re going for Knee-Deep in the Dead, Shores of Hell, and Inferno vibes. It should feel close to the originals. Your style is more modern? That’s okay. Keep it close, both in gameplay and texture palette. Mostly incidental combat. Mostly non-linear layouts. Some secrets. Consider what DTWID…did. Homage or remakes are great. Inspired by something like Switcheroom? Cool. I’m sure we won’t be able to appease everyone, but you know…let’s try to keep it classic-ish? Bonus points if you stick to old naming conventions…but I suppose that’s optional.

Boss Monsters/ Levels: Please limit the boss monsters in general map usage. If you want to make a boss map, fine, but if we have several, I’ll have to rearrange accordingly.

Monster Count Limit: 200. This is rounding up from UV for the first three iwad episodes. Lots are below 100. No Slaughter maps, this time.  

Skies: Not this time.

Music: Classic-feeling midis that don’t break copyright would be preferred. Maybe consider the Ultimate Midi Pack? I don’t care if there’s repeats this time. And if you want to use the default music, that’s cool. Since we are in Limit-Removing, there will be some repeat music in said ports that don’t support UMAPINFO or MAPINFO. Be aware of this.

Resource Pack: Hey! Were you expecting a texture pack this time? Nope. We’re keeping it stock. Don’t ask for custom textures, please.

 

Deadline is November 20th, 2023. Either this thread or Discord channel is good. I want time to compile and hopefully get this out before December.

As most of the speedmapping rules don't apply here, just make a map!

Effort: Let’s try to keep it higher effort…as in not intentionally all 1994 shovelware jank. If you're new, though, don't be worried that I'm not going to accept your map. We can always improve. Make sure it can be completed. Don’t modify the iwad levels and submit them. No generated maps (i.e. Oblige, etc.).

Map Submission Limit: There is no cap to how many maps you can submit to this event.

Fixes: Any bug fixing/map changes are due to me 1 week after I upload the final playthrough video of the last submission. I will not fix or edit your map without permission, but if you ghost us after submitting a map, I reserve the right to make necessary functional fixes ONLY (soft locks, missing starts, broken tags, etc.) so the map can be played and completed, or to reject the map. By submitting, you're agreeing to this. Of course, we'd prefer you take responsibility for your own work, and I will make multiple attempts to contact you first and give a reasonable amount of wait time. If your map is broken and you refuse to make any NECESSARY fixes so it is compatible with the target port and is beatable, then it is subject to rejection. Just remember, we're here to HELP YOU, so don't be discouraged.

 

Somewhere off the Shores of Hell, where the ocean floor denizens walk knee-deep in the sand is the Pineapple Under the Sea. We welcome mappers from Inferno and back, whether you’re too young to die, you don’t like it rough, you want to be hurt plenty, or you like ultra-violence. We learn and grow and map and celebrate together! Grab your shotgun, enter the hangar, and come on down to the Pineapple Anomaly that is our discord server!

Tempted to make a map for this. Any excuse for doom 1 style maps. :D

 

You mention Crispy but not chocolate. Does that mean we don't have to be absolutely strict on the visplane limit?(amount of times I've tried to do "original vanilla style" map but just pipped the visplane limit) :O

Correct. No worries dealing with that. We're doing Limit Removing.

Episode [1,2,3]: 1

Comments: Welcome to E1M1. The resemblance is striking. I think. May add more secrets.

[NecrumWarrior]

I'm probably going to make an Episode 3 boss map. I got an idea brewing. 

[Blexor]

Doom 1 Format? But how the heck am I supposed to make a map without archies and revs in it?

 

Jokes aside, this should be fun. I've never actually made a Doom 1 map before. Here's a great chance to fix that. And... I might already have an idea, too. (Would be E1, almost certainly)

[Peccatum Mihzamiz]

Map Name: Swift Crater Facility

Author: Peccatum Mihzamiz

Music: "Goin' Down the Fast Way" by @leejacksonaudio (from Rise of the Triad)

Episode: Perhaps a nice E1 map slot 2, 3 or 4 thing?

Difficulty Settings: Yes, including a bit of co-op stuff

Comments: Named after the crater called 'Swift' on Deimos (itself named after Jonathan Swift, who apparently predicted the existence of two Martian moons in Gulliver's Travels).
This map is allllllmost vanilla. I had lots of fun mapping. About 4 hours mapping time. Yes, I did channel my inner skillsaw a tiny bit for the first fight, why do you ask? May Romero smile upon us...
Bugs: The yellow door is broken for some reason, so I just opened it for now. Will fix at some point...

Map Name: Disposal n' Decimation
Author: Late Night Person
Music: Quake II - Descent Into Cerberon

Episode: E1, big enough for a penultimate map imo.
Difficulty Settings: Not yet implemented, same can be said for co-op.

Comments: Made in about 8 - 9 hours, this was pretty fast due to my familiarity with Doom 1's assets. There's a cyberdemon boss fight towards the end, but it's pretty manageable with cells and rockets.

Map Name: Blast Terminal
Author: Lina
Music: Ant Farm Melee by Lee Jackson, from the ultimate midi pack
Episode [1,2,3]: 1, probably best for slot 5/6
Difficulty Settings: currently UV only
Comments: I kept thinking of E1M9 while making it. Almost hit the monster limit, but I didn't cheat with lost souls. If it feels too modern, it might make a good secret map.

Episode: 3 (Boss Map)

Difficulty Settings: Yes! Even has 2 Cyberdemons for Multiplayer.

Comments: E3M8 is Dis, so why not make a Chilling Winds inspired map?

Y'all! We launched just a few days ago, and we've got over an episode worth of maps! And I've got two madlads tag-teaming an entire E2-inspired episode! (And NO, for once it's not me!). This is fun as hell Inferno! Yeah, baby!

Here's two more from me.

Map Name: Ursine Anomaly
Author: Death Bear
Music: I Sawed the Demons by Bobby Prince (Might Change)
pisode [1,2,3]: 2
Difficulty Settings: Y
Comments: My take, though I used less teleporters, I think. Par is 1:30 seconds.

Map Name: Flesh Wound
Author: Death Bear
Music: Untitled by Bobby Prince (Might Change)
Episode [1,2,3]: 3
Difficulty Settings: Y
Comments: Another E3M1 take. Par is 1:05.
NOTE: The fact that I did episode-opener-homage/ remakes does NOT exclude other people from doing so! Just make some maps!

[Somniac]

Map Name: Deimos Outpost
Author: Somniac
Music: stock (might change, not sure)
Episode [1,2,3]: 2
Difficulty Settings: Y
Comments: Punchy episode opener style map with a mixture of traps and run and gun combat, overall not difficult. Sticks to the visplane limit, but it stopped loading in Chocolate at one point for some reason, so I guess that makes it limit-removing anyway :p co-op starts added.

Episode: 1

Slot: E1M8

Music: Halls of Wandering Spirits by Myrgharok.

Difficulty settings: Yes; plus co-op spawns.

Slot: E3M1

 

Music: "TheDevilsWork" (track by Doomkid)

 

Difficulty settings: Yes; plus co-op spawns.

Map name : Go Phish

Author : Matt "Cannonball" Powell

Music - Just the stock track from E2M4 at the moment

Episode : 2 (Plays in E2M4)

Difficulty settings : Not at the moment

Comments : Inspired somewhat by Deimos Lab, the aim is to go inside the computer itself and rid the evil from it to progress onward. I will do difficulty settings etc once the UV element has been ironed out a bit. The monster count gets close to the 200 limit, but hopefully it isn't too much to handle.

I'm not submitting it yet but here's some pictures of a map I have finished already.

[BeachThunder]

Been working on an early E1 map. Possibly E1M2 or E1M3. Trying to make something feel like an actual Doom 1 map without directly referencing stuff from Doom 1 is a lot harder than I thought.

Hopefully I end up finishing this.

 

 

[BeachThunder]

Okay, I guess I'm calling this done.

Map Name: Chemical Storage
Author: BeachThunder
Music: Dark Halls by Bobby Prince
Episode [1,2,3]: 1 (the map is in E1M3)
Difficulty Settings: Y
Comments: The goal was to make an authentic-feeling Episode 1 level without directly referencing any IWAD levels. I probably paid too much attention to detailing for it to actually feel authentic, but it still ended up being something I'm satisfied with.

Par time: 2:20.

Episode [1,2,3]: 3 (Map is in the E3M1 slot)

Difficulty Settings: Not yet, will implement in v2

Comments: Good for an early E3 slot I think, pretty stripped down and lots of incidental fighting. Maybe a bit too linear for it's own good but oh well.

Episode: 1

 

Difficulty Settings: Implemented Hastily

 

Comments: It's short & designed to be an early episode 1 map.  I wanted this one to feel like something straight out of classic doom & hopefully it doesn't come across as low-effort.  The overall difficulty was kept light.

Overall, good map. Although, it feels like half the level is optional because you don't need to pick up the yellow key - and I can't tell if that was intentional or not.

It is intentional.

Fixed a couple of a misaligned textures in my map and removed a door I changed my mind about :p

Making a map for PUSSXXXII . Trying to make something a little bit E3M6-esque.
