geekmarine Posted October 22, 2003 Hey, I'm not saying it's gonna be kick-ass for anyone else, just for me =P. I mean, if I don't like my room, no reason to submit it, is there? Plus, I might use it for a level or something. 0 Share this post Link to post

Hirogen2 Posted October 23, 2003 Why not? Sectors are unlimited. You shall make one "room", including erm... If I Understood Right multiple rooms along the Z axis. Dont rely on the last statemant about Z rooms. 0 Share this post Link to post

Twiztid Posted October 25, 2003 I could try this,even tho im not that good at mapping yet. One qustion tho, does it have to be made with doom1? 0 Share this post Link to post

But the textures included in the Doom 1 IWAD would probably be a big help if you had them. But I can't hold it against you if you don't have Doom 1. So go ahead and use Doom 2 if that's all you have. 0 Share this post Link to post
Agent Spork Posted October 27, 2003 Do bars blocking the way that open up count as doors? 0 Share this post Link to post
geekmarine Posted October 27, 2003 Well, that's it. I'm all out of ideas, and I don't feel my room is detailed enough. Shucks. I mean, I could do some lighting, but that's about it. Well, I'm gonna tinker with it until the end of the contest, but I'm pretty much done. 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted October 27, 2003 Agent Spork said:Do bars blocking the way that open up count as doors? As long as they are within the main room, it's okay. I wish I could code an example, but you'll just have to take my word for it. You can use them as decoration, but you can't use bars to lead into blocked off new sectors. 0 Share this post Link to post
Torn Posted October 28, 2003 Uhm, Define one room, is it just a big 896x896 room or can I have hallways just as it fits a 896x896 area without any doors of couse? 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted October 28, 2003 Torn said:Uhm, Define one room, is it just a big 896x896 room or can I have hallways just as it fits a 896x896 area without any doors of couse? Good question. Technically, you can put whatever you want within the 896x896 area. If you can get hallways in it, more power to you. As you mentioned, I am entirely prohibiting any use of doors. To me, that seems to violate the purpose. Everything is open and corridor/sector/room based. But by an 896x896 area, I'd like to keep it within a room -- and by that I mean, not making said area an open field with buildings (w/o doors) on it. It's all supposed to be in the confines of an 896x896 block. I hope that answers your question! 0 Share this post Link to post

If I manage to get my computer fixed in time, I'll have two candidates, and I'd love to be able send them both in :) 0 Share this post Link to post

I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt and choose the best out of your submissions. Seeing as how the limit is 3. :) (at least it is now, heh) 0 Share this post Link to post
Johnatone Posted October 31, 2003 Job, before you start asking for help on your new mega-cool-and-whatnot project, make sure you have something to show first (screenshots, map downloads, etc). Keep in mind we've already seen thousands of upcoming projects that actually never got done. ;) Job said:Post replies for comments, questions, etc, as well as updates. All entries are to be completed by Saturday, November 21st. that's a friday. unless you mean the 1st. well, if you really meant the first then i can't make it this time around, but i'll try to show up next time. quick question: define 896x896 limit, as in, if i were to make a square room, 64x64 grid, how many per side would that be? 14 per side? or something. bascially i'm just asking how many squares i'll get per side to make a giant sqaure room. then i'll detail. unless it's really the first for the deadline, then i'm screwed either way. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

Oy. It is indeed the first, i.e. tomorrow. Feel free to either a.) pull something out of your butt for this contest or b.) make the next one. :) Anyway, you are right. 896x896 is 14 squares by 14 squares. 0 Share this post Link to post
