Torn Posted July 24, 2009 Following the success of DAC2005 (and a failed attempt in 2006 :( ), it is time to start up DAC 2009 up. The point of this projet is to have a fun map for each day of December (until 24th december). Check the original site for 2005 here The idgames folder is located here. You can make whatever you want really, with any texture wad. However I have several guide lines for the project. * For doom2 (as I want to compile these into one big wad afterwards, different from 2005 as it had a few ultimate doom wads as well). * Boom / limited removing (so no zdoom, eternity, legacy, etc... maps here, just standard boom doom2 maps). * Feel free to include new music with your wad (just include it in the wad) * You can make more than one map if you feel like it. * Single-player Map If you have any projects you want to include in DAC2009 as well, feel free to contract me. You are free to release on your own after December. I need to have the wad(s) at 1 November 2009. This deadline will not get moved, if I don't have the map(s) by then it will not get included. I know it is early, but projects take time. I am not sure if I started this up too late, I might have. But let us see. Remember to include a text file with your finished map. When you are done, please send me a link or email me the finished map at tornthedark(at)gmail.com (remember to say it in this thread, if you do).

pavera Posted July 24, 2009 I want to play! I took a look at some of the screenshots for 2005 and I think I might have the chops. Hope I don't eat those words.. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jimmy Posted July 24, 2009 Great concept! Wow. :D I'll think about contributing to this. I've got so much going on right now (music- and maps-wise) that I really ought to clear my plate of a few projects before getting involved in any more. :| Don't sign me up just yet, but I'll definitely consider it. :P 0 Share this post Link to post
SaladBadger Posted July 24, 2009 I'm considering it. I've been wanting to work on a map lately. 0 Share this post Link to post

arrrgh Posted July 25, 2009 I'll have a go! Should we include christmas carol MIDIs with our maps? :P 0 Share this post Link to post
pavera Posted July 25, 2009 I'd like to sign up, I've already begun a map. 0 Share this post Link to post
SaladBadger Posted July 25, 2009 And I guess I'm in too. I got some decent ideas for a map. Edit: And you don't need to copy arrrgh's registered date and post count into the list ;P 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted July 25, 2009 November 1 2009?? I can get a map done by next week. Do we get a texture pack with this or are we using traditional Doom 2 textures? I feel like I've used every single doom 2 texture in a map at least once. 0 Share this post Link to post

ArmouredBlood Posted July 25, 2009 Sounds like a cool idea. I'm willing to do a map for it. 0 Share this post Link to post

doom2day Posted July 25, 2009 Does it have to be playable in single player? ie. a deathmatch wad 0 Share this post Link to post
Torn Posted July 25, 2009 doom2day said:Does it have to be playable in single player? ie. a deathmatch wad Yes, it has, thanks btw. I added something about that to the first post. I thought people assumed it was for single-player. 0 Share this post Link to post
TMD Posted July 25, 2009 Intruiging, I'll probably take an earlier slot 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted July 25, 2009 Will all maps be added or will some be cut if they aren't good enough? If all maps will be added then I'll make one. 0 Share this post Link to post

pavera Posted July 26, 2009 Quick WIP screen, still got quite a bit to do. You won't be spending too much time indoors in this map either. 0 Share this post Link to post
Negatronica Posted July 26, 2009 Interesting, I'm getting ideas of making Christmas textures plus high-tempo deathmetal or slow, evil versions of Christmas songs. I'll make a map. Will there be a texture resource wad for this project or would mappers just include textures in their wads like with music? Will the sky textures be something white and Christmas-y? 0 Share this post Link to post

ArmouredBlood Posted July 26, 2009 So I was thinking of submitting my bunker hill/Area 42 map for this but I don't think it'd fit :P I'll try and work on a map for it while people are demoing Area42 (and probably not making it to the exit :P). 0 Share this post Link to post
Butts Posted July 26, 2009 Really generic old-school style map here. Spent about 2 hours so far, this is the only presentable part of the map, but it is still not detailed yet. http://img11.imageshack.us/i/doom00.png/ 0 Share this post Link to post
