First area is complete. There's one secret. Lemme know what you like / don't like, and thanks for stopping by.

Pics or it happened:

Little cramped in spots. Also the bricks on the curvy walls to the right of the start look a little weird. Can't really say more at this point, but it plays well.

Cjwright79, you might want to put up screenshots of your projects. (as more people will download them)

[Cjwright79]

That's a good idea, but I don't know how. I run GZdoom.

[ArmouredBlood]

Every zdoom-based port has a screenshot command, go to options-> customize controls, and skip to the bottom. Under 'Other' there will be something that says screenshot. Bind it to something you won't accidentally press (n works for me) and you can use that.

Another way is to open the console and put in something like "bind screenshot n", I'm not sure exactly on the syntax but that should work.

By default it is bound to the Printscreen button.

Thanks guys. Pics added to the initial post.

I like these standard doom2 style maps.

-make little safe spot to start so you are not attacked the instant you spawn.
-lol at the COMPBLUE waterfall
-give the map some direction
-i like the textures and grass

haha wtf?

I`ll check this out once I get home from work. Looks old school, and I`m a fan of that

[Cjwright79]

Seriously, I am fed up with id's bullshit. They can make slime waterfalls, blood waterfalls, but not water waterfalls? Morbid motherfuckers.

Anyway I refuse to put a blood pool in my little village so I go with compblue. If you guys have any textures you can recommend and instructions on how to include 'em, I'm all ears. :)

They did include animations for waterfalls funnily enough, but never used them for some reason. Just stick WFALL1-4 in the wad to make it work.

what do you have to do exactly?

[ArmouredBlood]

Huh, I was wondering why when I put the gothic textures into my ep that the waterfall worked but the slimefall didn't (deleted the dehacked lmp as soon as I merged the wads. I guess I should put it back in ...).

Using your favourite wad editor (SLumpEd or XWE) - grab the four WFALL patches from Plutonia.wad (or export, recolour and rename one of the other sets in Doom2.wad), import them into Vargasi.wad (placing them between PP_START/PP_END markers), highlight the patches and (from the right-click menu) add them to Textures. Save changes, close Vargasi.wad in the wad editor and open it in Doom Builder, change COMPBLUE to WFALL1 - enjoy.

[Cjwright79]

I thank you for helping but that sounds like too much work. Love the compblue waterfalls!

It actually matches up fine from a palette perspective.

[GreyGhost]

I'll simplify the process for you a bit. Unzip and merge this wad into vargasi.wad then change COMPBLUE to WFALL1.

[Cjwright79]

Thanks!

Edit: Ok there's no luck downloading from that site... on the off chance you are kind enough to email it to me, cjwright79 at shaw.ca. I thank you!

[Cjwright79]

Updated. Now 112kb. Added one new room, screenshot here:



All told I'm very pleased with how this plays on Ultra-Violence!

[Magma]

I uploaded GreyGhost's wad on my ftp --> here.

:-)

[Cjwright79]

Sweet, it works, thank you!
