Doom 2 [Limit-Removing] Countdown To Death - 1 Hour Speedmapping Project (now on /idgames!)

[Synami]

 

>> Download on /idgames! <<

 

You don't get involved with DOOM for the story - just go out there, and map. :)

 

Map format must be DOOM2 Limit-Removing [-cl2].

DSDA-Doom is the targeted source port of choice, so playtesting on this port is recommended.

Map must be created within an hour. Adding music, difficulties and balancing the map/fixing bugs doesn't count towards the time.

 

Custom music for each map is mandatory [Module files, .OGG, .MIDI] - this can include custom music not originally by you. The maximum bitrate allowed for .OGG files is 128kbps. Maximum file size for a custom track is 3MB. OGG files may not include, or be from copyrighted works.

Custom textures are forbidden outside of the resource WAD.

 

You can make your maps as hard as you want, just make sure it's possible to complete them in a single or double segment UV-Max run.

At least 1 secret has to be in each map, this can include one at the player spawn to fix the 0% secrets issue.

There is no limit on the number of maps you can submit.

 

For submissions, post in this format:

The deadline date is August 1st.

 

The resource WAD contains a -cl2 compliant version of MISCTEX with some modifications, alongside a DEHACKED lump. Said lump increases the rate of fire of the chaingun, rocket launcher and plasma rifle, alongside increasing the amount of ammo you get from pickups and the maximum ammo counts.

 

If more than 32 maps are submitted by the deadline, the maps will be split into two separate WADs.

 

If your map isn't considered up to par/is low effort, it'll be placed in the secondary maplist.

 

The custom switch textures do not function. This is a compiling mistake I'll be sure to remedy if I do a project like this again - please use stock switch textures.

The lava fall texture is BLODRIP1-4. Please use that instead of the static LAVFALL patches.

 

(Load alongside the resource WAD! The primary list is loosely ordered by difficulty in ascending order.)

Henlo! Does playtesting count towards mapping time, or does that count as balancing?

[Synami]

@wasdbee Playtesting counts towards balancing - most of the hour spent should just be finishing map geometry and texturing, alongside setting up key fights. Time after that should just be making sure the map's beatable.

Amazing, ty!

Comments: Good excuse to turn a scribble of non-orthogonal lines into a proper map.
Comments 2: Tested in dsda-doom and Crispy Doom. UV only at the moment, no coop or dm starts placed.

Comments (Optional): My first speedmap! Speedmapping is hard lol. Very basic slaughter map, did not have time to do half of what I wanted to. Music was also done in an hour, prior to and as inspiration for the map (same exception for balancing and bugfixing ofc ofc). Difficulties implemented, multiplayer starts included.

Comments (Optional): Map inspired by the heat (someone please turn the sun down just a smidge). The wood ceiling against the tech base backdrop symbolises the duality of human society and the ways in which we integrate ourselves into the natural world, or I ran out of time for texturing.
Screenshots:

Edited July 21 by wasdbee : I put the song title as the author. I am not called uuugh, I am just in a state of uuugh. Also to symbolise that the heat was inescapable, I forgot the exit. Also the secret.

Comments: I pretty much entirely focused on gameplay here and I'm really happy about it, I was going for a chaotic non-stop action map and I think I succeeded. Visuals are rough but it doesn't look too bad I think. This is better than my first submitted map.

Difficulty settings coming soon.

@RedBoule Good map! Just a heads up - when you balance the difficulties, the static NUKFALL textures should be changed to SFALL too. My apologies for not removing the double defined fall textures in advance.

Sure, to be honest I didn't even notice the nukfall wasn't animated lmao.

Comments (Optional): I had a very clear vision in my head, and I didn't think I could possibly make it in one hour. But... as it turned out, with a lot of dedication, wilpower, and determination, I actually couldn't! But it's a playable map at least, despite a lot of it being thrown together in a last minute panic lmao

[rita remton]

hi! may i know what you mean by "single or double segment UV-Max run"? does it mean for "single segment", the player never dies; and for a "double segment", the player dies only once? i've searched doomwiki, but only retrieved stuff such as "linedef segments", etc and nothing to do with uv-max runs. tq in advance.

[Synami]

@rita remton Single segment UV-Max in this instance means completing a map without saves or rewinds, with 100% kills and secrets (this set targets -cl2, so at least one secret has to be in the map). Double segment would be the same thing but with one save/rewind, in case of a fight with light rng.

Comments (Optional): An idea that's been stuck in my head for ages. I might redo it at some point but better. I broke my 1 hour MIDI making streak because I got 45 minutes in and realised that there was no way that the MIDI was getting finished in an hour. Hopefully I didn't forget anything this time lmao

Notifying everyone here that there's one week left until the deadline! If you want to start a map (or another :^) ), now is a good time!

 

@Hebonky @OverflowingMocha @knifeworld @RedBoule Reminder - some of your maps still don't have all difficulty settings implemented. It'd be a big help to add them, before I start compiling everything together after the deadline hits. Thank you!

[knifeworld]

Difficulty changes added! also added coop and dm starts (untested) for the heck of it, and fixed a misaligned gray wall.
