Bloodshedder Posted November 20, 2003 Leader of the project and resident insane asylum commitee Hyena notified me on IRC that he has updated the Mock 2 Paig with a release date (!) and some interesting statistics. For what it's worth, the project has a 205:1 monster to map ratio. 0 Share this post Link to post

Damon Posted November 21, 2003 I'm confused... Aren't these supposed to be satirical maps? As in, "throw together a bunch of trash in five minutes and call it a day"? Why is that taking so long to do? Have you guys become so good at map editing that you've forgotten how to make bad maps and doing so is a chore? That'd be a good excuse. :] 0 Share this post Link to post
Erik Posted November 21, 2003 you have to add 756 cybers and 222 cell packs in a scientific way. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraviolet Posted November 21, 2003 756 + 222 + science = mock2 solve for science 0 Share this post Link to post

That'd be a good excuse. :] They're designed to be funny and silly (generally they're called joke wads). Usually this means intentionally crap detail, layout and monster placement, but the real beauty of this wad is the abuse of ZDoom features to create really daft, silly and funny effects. (as you'll see throughout) Besides, if you're a chellenge seeker you'll enjoy it, as it's nearly all playable without cheating. (only 2 areas aren't) (btw, they take longer than you think - one of my maps in there took 4 days to make...) Grazza said:Yes, it's not difficult to run past all those cybers.

Schneelocke Posted November 21, 2003 Nice. ^_^ I've got a weak spot for non-serious maps myself, so I'm looking forward to the finished project... 0 Share this post Link to post

I've already played pretty much all the maps, and don't especially want to have to replay them all again just to see what has changed before writing my review. the main issue was that you can't get to map37-40 because the secret exit in map36 returns you to map36. map 22, map36, and map38 are the only maps with changes. other than that one bug i don't know the extent of the fixes. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nanami Posted November 21, 2003 Grazza said:Which maps are most affected?

Don't worry, you probably didn't notice any of the errors, but they really needed to be fixed. Just make sure the fixed version gets into newstuff if you can. =) 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted November 21, 2003 Thanks. The secret levels did appear to be connected rather oddly, but I didn't give it too much thought since I'd been idcleving to each map to ensure a pistol start anyway. I wasn't sure if it was a deliberate "feature", to be honest. Nanami: Thanks; I'd certainly noticed something odd about 22; I'll replay those maps. 0 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted November 22, 2003 Mock2 is teh awesome, but I do have a few questions: What were the errors in 22 and 38? Also, on map36, when I try to get past all the Cybers, the level ends and kicks me back to map12. Has this been fixed? Is there any exit on the last level (41), or are you supposed to die or something? Also, what are the 2 areas that can't be finished without cheating? Heh, another thing I want to add: In Map06, I was playing with one of my weapon sets (Sniper Of Insanity) which changes monster infighting to on, so most of the cybers killed each other and I finished off the rest. 0 Share this post Link to post
