Linguica Posted August 24, 2003 After reading the latest /newstuff where someone made a WAD that purported to be an homage to Map02 but looked nothing like it, I got to thinking: how many levels have been made to imitate classic Doom / Doom 2 levels and themes? If you guys know of any such levels, say some PWAD someone made that uses the textures and thematic elements of Map09 or something, it would be cool if you could gimme the filename so I could add it to a list or something. I'd like a compilation of knockoff levels because I just like the idea of a new WAD that's like classic Doom levels, only not.

DarkWolf Posted August 24, 2003 Not sure if this would count: ftp://megawad@server1.thefourwinds.net/maps/d2m2r.zip It's Map02, but different. Legacy only though. =/ 0 Share this post Link to post
geekmarine Posted August 24, 2003 [rant]Hey! Watch your language, bub. All I ever said was that I was inspired by MAP02. I was specifically trying to avoid it looking exactly like MAP02 - I just used MAP02-type textures, made the layout circular, same types of enemies, etc. Basically, for all of my Stylin' levels, I break down each level into it's general components, and then create a completely different level using those general components.[/rant] 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted August 24, 2003 I remember a speedmapping session where the theme was to create a tribute to your favourite DooM 2 map....but I can't remember what or when it was. Also the first map of Community Chest was inspired by some of the early DooM 2 maps. And a wad called T_dunn02, that was early-DooM 2 themed as well. 0 Share this post Link to post
Draconio Posted August 25, 2003 Here's two, I'll come back if I find more. See if they fit the bill: SargeBaldy Speedmapping Compilation #1 - All maps (E1M8 remake) Dweller1.wad - MAP02 (E1M1 influence) I'm assuming you're only looking for inspired maps and not edited versions of the original maps. I could find a bunch of those easily. 0 Share this post Link to post

Fletcher` Posted August 27, 2003 Dammit. Geoshitties strikes again. Their servers must be down or something. I can view my pages through the editor, but not in a browser. I was gonna let you use my ITSC waste processing plant. It's E1M4 (I think) and looks ep1 -ish. Geoshitties is run by a bunch of tralks. 0 Share this post Link to post
RjY Posted August 27, 2003 Okay this is pretty much off the top of my head, I've probably forgotten a ton of relevant stuff but here goes Cleimos2 (A, B) 20 has bits lifted from pretty much every E1 map. Also for some reason I thought 27 bore a passing resemblance to Doom 2 MAP01 last time I played it but that might have just been my imagination As was mentioned there's Fava Beans. That's just like cleimos2 20 in that various little parts of the maps are obvious reworkings of Doom E1 stuff. For example the two doors with a switch between them at the end of E1M2 reappears at the end of Fava 7. Real World has many maps that are iwad inspired, I remember at least MAP01 and E4M6, I'd have to check the others MAP29 stuff, yes there's Hell Revealed 24. There's also One Bloody Night 8 Punisher.wad is an edited MAP01. That reminds me, Plutonia 32 is as well but I don't know if that counts in this thread I was going to post about the Containment Area tribute but you have it already, oh well edit I got the cl2 links then wrong way round and when I wrote E4M2 I meant E4M6, damnit 0 Share this post Link to post

Grazza Posted August 27, 2003 Herian 2 map22 very closely resembles Doom2 map02. RW.wad map17's central area is clearly inspired by E4M6. Quite a number of the maps in that wad were inspired by TNT.wad or HR.wad (e.g. rw06-hr13; rw20-hr14). A pwad called Doom3 (I have a version called Doom3v1b.wad) has areas based on some of the original maps. Its map06 has areas closely resembling E1M8, E2M8, and E3M8. Dminator is an old pwad with edited and much extended original id maps. And let's not forget 1337.wad map23 ("A Tribute To E1M3"). I wouldn't say HR map24 resembles Doom2 map29: it has the same style, but I can't think of any specific areas or features that are similar. 0 Share this post Link to post
Aleaver Posted August 27, 2003 Ok, So even though the map replaces e1m3...but looks like e1m7. It's considered e1m7? 0 Share this post Link to post

RjY Posted August 27, 2003 Before I start how could I have forgotten nb_e1m01.wad before? It's spot on for this list Anyway I downloaded rw.wad again, ran round each map with -nomonsters and wrote down what I thought the influences are1: It's pretty much all based on Doom2 MAP01. However the very first room is clearly Doom E1M1 in construction if not in texturing. 4: First major area after the start room is inspired from Hell Revealed 9 and the area after that is from Hell Revealed 13. I realise this is irrelevant to the thread but I have to put it in for completeness. I'm sorry 13: For some reason I wrote down "vague resemblances to Hell Revealed 10 and 11" 17: As Grazza posted, probably at the exact moment I was running round the map, it's Doom E4M6. That's morphic resonance for you 18: the part just before you approach the yellow key is clearly the area of Doom E4M7 with the crossway stair, rocket launcher and red key 19: I wrote down "that map in plutonia with the maze and the archviles" Now I have plutonia but apart from 32 I've not really played it much. This explains why I got this one completely wrong. 20: Clearly Hell Revealed 14 with hints of Doom2 MAP13 thrown in.sarge: I figured that about pl32 and punisher but I had guessed it was the other way round. It didn't occur to me that since pl32 has much cleaner architecture it would be the later one, instead for some reason I thought pl32 predated punisher because it has fewer monsters. So many thanks for clearing that up sir Use3D: please do, I for one like a good homage map 0 Share this post Link to post
