[Negatronica]

Good job, looks interesting...is it done?

[ShadowRunner]

No its not done.
If ud like to test it out thats fine.
Its for ultimate doom.

Edit:Could you use some comments,Ellmo you too should look at these.
I made that area thinking about E1.Im gonna continue it thru.

[Negatronica]

I would love to play test it, but the computer I'm using isn't mine and I don't have internet for my computer at the moment. If you want to wait till the end of April, I'll have full access again, but thats a little TOO long from now...

Anyways...good luck with your project, the most I can do is look at the screenies and provide feedback.

[SyntherAugustus]

The map looks linear and that's kinda a bad thing. It also looks cramped.

And some of those map areas look rather... ew.

[ShadowRunner]

Ur able to revisit many areas except the Crate room in this level so far.......

Any keyhunting involved?

And for better screenshots, try using -nomonsters and have the only weapon showing your hand.

[Nick Perrin]

Nice, but i must say its quite a bit cramped.

(and Ralphis can be an asshole at times, no doubt...)

[ShadowRunner]

Yes.
Key hunting is involved for The yellow and blue.
The yellow is visible,you just gotta do stuff to get it.The blue is hidden and wont be seen till somethings lowered.

And nick to your comment,Not all areas are cramped,you got space to roam around,just the Nukeage passage with the floor lowers going into the area of the Windowed yellow key may seem cramped,but its large enough to go around.

Single player is meant for one person anyways.

[Negatronica]

Personally, I like cramped areas more than open ones. To me, it gives the map more character/atmosphere. Just an opinion.

1. The crushers in those first screenshots should be more detailed. Remember Doom2 "map04: THE FOCUS"? I hope you know what I mean.
2. screen 0029.png looks interesting architectually, but very crappy as it comes ot textures. You must really avoid using texture mix-ups, like this ASHWALL turning out to BORWNGRN and then to BROWN with posion sign. You should use textures of similar colours and separate them with METAL or SUPPORTx strips of 24/16 units length, as it was done in original DooM.
3. screen 0033.png uses two different types of flats for sector of the same height. It looks like you made a mistake when changing sector's light, so you also have changed ceiling texture and then copied it for many times. Pay attention to craps like this.
4. Still to screen 0033.png you should also align those wall textures on the right of those small silver staircase.
5. 0035.png I hope this is a shot of a sector while lowering. If not, then you have a really bad misalignment.
6. 0036.png looks very good. Nice use of those METAL textures.
7. 0037.png you should change ceiling and flat textures (at those sectors with upper and lower METAL) so that they differ form others. For METAL sectors I always use CEIL5_2
8.And to all other guys. Just stop being so rude to SR! There's no fucking point in this, ang getting on someone because he's still learning how to make a good map pisses me out. I know I cannot threaten youin any way, but just stop it!

[Vegeta]

The links don't work for me.

[DooMBoy]

Copy and paste them into your address bar, they should work.

To answer your Questions.
1. The crushers in those first screenshots should be more detailed. Remember Doom2 "map04: THE FOCUS"? I hope you know what I mean.

Answer:Yea i was going for that but forget it had a sector inside the window.

3. screen 0033.png uses two different types of flats for sector of the same height. It looks like you made a mistake when changing sector's light, so you also have changed ceiling texture and then copied it for many times. Pay attention to craps like this.

Answer:Ill change it and fix that.

5. 0035.png I hope this is a shot of a sector while lowering. If not, then you have a really bad misalignment.

Answer:Yea its a lowering floor.

7. 0037.png you should change ceiling and flat textures (at those sectors with upper and lower METAL) so that they differ form others. For METAL sectors I always use CEIL5_2

Answer:Will do

Does it always have to be a key?

[ellmo]

I can see a pair of doors, so:
one can contain an armour with some additional ammo (in lesser quantities), the other should be opened, when player picks up the armour, revealing some bad uglies.
Remeber E1M4? One of the rooms around that big circle in the middle of the level?

And... remove those lights around the switch (in this 'pressed' sector), swap them with DOORSTOP or somethingl like that.

[Lutrov71]

Those screenshots are alright except for the first one with all the different textures. Try and fix that up...

[ShadowRunner]

Erm are u refering to my screenshot?

[Ralphis]

http://www.freewebs.com/shadowrunner89/DOOM0040.jpg

What is special about this? It's 2 doors against a flat wall with mediocre lighting. Please feel free to call me an asshole instead of improving what I just pointed out

[Johnny]

I must say, those screenshots do utterly suck. Also a very cramped level. P.S. You are supposed to put a space after every comma and period so your sentences,don't,look,like,this. And you Really shouldn't Capitalize random words In a Sentence.

[ellmo]

Hmm? Who were you talking to johnnyrules?

Anyways, ShadowRunner I was talking about 0040.png if you asked me.

[ShadowRunner]

Erm yeah,Listen my whole level isnt cramped,the only Cramped areas are when u enter the Cieling crush area and go thru after battling,then the nuke area,hit the switch and u get here.

If my whole level was cramped,well then i wouldnt even be working on it anymore.

[Johnny]

I was Talking To shadow,badfish.read His sentences And Youll know what Im Talking,About.

If you say it isnt cramped, why do all 45 of your screenshots show rooms designed for midgets with no legs?

I 'tested' his map and there are a few rooms that are big opened, but it started getting a bit crampy. :-/

LOL! That really made me laugh although I haven't seen the map itslef yet. Just those screens.

Mind If I test it, ShadowRunner?

[ShadowRunner]
