Rotten level

[Dco16]

I'm making sort of a ROTT tribute level. Why? I don't know. I just felt like doing it.

Screens:





All rooms are 256 pixels high and I plan to put an obscene number of secret areas in, truly making it in the ROTTen style.

[Nmn]

Not bad.
Quite original if You ask me.
B sure to include some ROTT tune. Looking forward.

[Sporku]

The only thing about this that doesn't look very ROTT-like, is the lighting. If I remember correctly, ROTT was quite a bit darker. Try dimming it down just a bit. Other than that, it looks quite ROTTish.

[Dco16]

I'll try to darken it.

Also, I have included an ROTT tune already. It's RUNLIKE.MID (Run like Smeg) which is my fav.

[Little Faith]

If you make it Zdoom specific you might also include some ROTT-style "crushing columns" racing about at unsafe speeds.

Oh yeah, and walls shooting fireballs.

[Dco16]

I can't do ZDoom scripting. I know, it's sad.

Zoom has a level like this. You could probably take a look at the demo to see some other ROTT/DOOM levels.

I was going to do this! Yours looks great though, keep going.

You also need to make it uglier. Really really ugly, then it'll be just like ROTT. Throw in some disgusting purpleish, grey colors, and maybe some puke brown, and you've got ROTT right there

Cool. At least you don't need to be much worried about the overall quality, because it can't possibly be any worse than the original ROTT. Oh man, did that game suck!

The reason for Rott's comparitive unpopularity at release was that it was released shortly after Doom 2, with a far inferior (modified Wolf3d) engine.

Nowadays, it has a small cult following.

*sigh* Some psycho should try and do a Wolfendoom-style ROTTdoom megawad.

EDIT: And stoned just can't appreciate a good game. :)

Yeah, and I'll have to put in all the bitchin' weapons and 10+ player MP too.

[Dco16]

Scratch everything. DoomEd destroyed my WAD.

[Use]

Progressive backups, sorry you had to learn the hard way. :P

[Dco16]

Meh. The level was sucking anyway.

Can anybody please make an OpenGL source-port for ROTT?
Anybody?
Please?

[Naitguolf]

no problem. With the new Zdoomgl3 Xp, you can import ROTT levels and HL2 too!!!

Whoa, modified Wolf3D engine? Fucking wow. It's really amazing what you can do with such an old engine. I mean, come on- true 3D in Wolf3D?! That is fucking amazing. I always thought it was Doom, since if you modified the main wad and cleaned up, you get an error saying it's an invalid IWAD.

ROTT doesn't have anything close to true-3d. Hell, ROTT doesn't even have variable floor heights. Just randomly placed sprites with different heights you could walk on. You never noticed that all of the maps were the same height and had no curves at all?

[Darkhaven]

Oh, I noticed that, but it does have the "3D-Sprite" thing, and I also thought it had at least something very close to true-3d, since it had tile over tile, moving pillars, bridge objects you could see under and above, etc.

I know what you're talking about, though. It is odd that you could have "3D sprites", but no variable floor heights...
