That should be fine, although you're better off making an entirely new level.

Great. I'll probably make an entirely new one also, since I have a start to one that I'm semi-pleased with...

heh weird one but you have to delete the 2 stand alone lines before you can play the wad if you don't you will get an error

[Csonicgo]

I know, I used those as guidelines. I'll delete them when I get everything tweaked and details added. that's just a rough sketch! ;)

still, I've never mapped but simple dm maps and I must say being limited to 1024 really IS a challenge! I can't wait until I get over this mapper's hump and get into making maps outside this such small range.

IT'S DONE, well, except for the exit. I need an idea for an exit, and I don't wanna use a lame switch.

[Tango]

My first map is nearly done. All that I need to do is test it on Easy and Medium and then get some new music.

[Craigs]

I'm in! I should be able to start next week. I suck at making massive maps anyway.

Heh, same thing here. =)

My third map has also been send to Lutrov, if you want I can email it to you Flange.

That's ok, I managed to get onto a computer where rapidshare works and was able to get it myself. Another nice map, though I think I still prefer Overdrive. I had a few health problems, but that was mainly due to my sucking at dodging revenant fireballs. Also, don't stop making maps if you have ideas. You can just pick your best 3 as entries to the competition.

I also went and did a map myself. As I'm supposed to be a judge, this obviously isn't an official entry or anything, but I've had this idea knocking around for a while and wanted to try it out. I think it's ended up quite hard, dunno if I overdid it. I'll be surprised and impressed if anyone can time it right to get 100% kills.

Anyway, here it is, The Cacogate

[Dutch Doomer]

Wow nice map flange I liked it not cramped at all great view and hard as hell.
Nice ending too.

Ok ill finish my fourth map and maybe do a few more, some screens its nothing really special.
Ive used one custom texture and the theme is hell/gothic.

[Tango]

Great map, Flange Peddler. The concept was awesome, and your use of Boom effects was excellent. I kept trying for 100% kills (I probably spent at least 30 minutes on this), though the most I ever got was something like 75%.

Nice looking screenshots Dutch Devil, I look forward to the map. =)

[Kid Airbag]

I've decided I'm going to throw my hat in the ring.

First, though, I have a quick question, and it may have already been answered in this thread but honestly I'm not going to read through four pages of people posting screenshots to see.

My question is, how should the gameplay of these maps be implemented? Should they all be deisgned for a pistol-only start?

[Tango]

Yeah, I think they do.

[Kid Airbag]

Okay, sounds cool

I have five ideas, it's going to be a bitch deciding which three to enter in the contest.

[Kid Airbag]

I've started my first map.

It takes place in some sort of hostel. So far I just have one room partially done, but here's a shot of it (it's the reception area).

That's awesome but honestly: Is this beatable?

[Da Spadger]

It certainly is, i just completed it right under 10 minutes. It was a pain finding all the switches at first though.

It was beatable, though you had 25 cacodemon balls flying at you the whole time. So, I guess the Cacodemon count could have been toned down a bit. =)
And KidAirbag, nice screenshot.

[Torn]

Here is my first 1024 comp. map. :)
Download it here.
Brick, metal and marble map. :)
I don't think this is final version yet.

[Dutch Doomer]

My fourth map is done I hope you like red an black textures ;)

[Tango]

Both of those were awesome maps, great work. Dutch Devil, I loved it how you made the map seem like it was much bigger than a small 1024x1024 square. And Torn, you had an awesome use of the stock Doom 2 textures.
Edit: Here's a screenshot of my (first) entry. I was originally going to enter something else, but I no longer have the will to work on that map so I started this one.

[Fletcher`]

Gasp.

[Csonicgo]

wow rf. just wow.

[Kid Airbag]

Just FYI, I added three textures to my wad. I added ICKDOOR and REDWALL1 from Ultimate Doom, and also made a wall texture out of FLOOR1_6 which I called REDWALL2

[Ebon]

[PARANTHESIS] I'm in too! Lemme make my crowded map idea a reality! So can I submit my map once I finish it? [END PARANTHESIS]

Pretty much. Just be sure to test it when you finish it. (I usually test it while)

[Craigs]

You forgot some rules.

-No slidge generated maps
-No stealing maps from other wads
-No secret pornography.

[Ebon]

I find it rather disturbing that even original little E4M1 is twice as big as 1024x1024!

[Sporku]

-No slidge generated maps

What the hell is "slidge"? Sounds nasty.

-No stealing maps from other wads

Why not add every common sense thing onto the list of rules, shall we?

-No secret pornography.

Yeah, I'm sure we're going to have a huge problem with that.
