RELEASED: Base Ganymede E2 - bugfix ver. on page 2

[Khorus]

And it's finished! Go get it from /idgames!

Note that I have found two bugs in the current release (curse last minute balancing!), and will upload a new version at the end of the weekend to fix them and any other issue brought up. The bugs are a baron not rising from a lower to highest floor being mistaged on m7, and there being two cybers on m8 on skill 2 rather than one. So demo dudes keep that in mind.

See this thread for E1.

------------------------------------------

Base Ganymede is an episodic vanilla doom 1 project set on one of Jupiter's moons named Ganymede. That's about the extent of the story. ;) Planning on 3 episodes.

I'm aiming at another 8 maps. So far, M1 - M4 are completed.

Screens:

M1 Map (512 grid) 1
M2 Map 1 2
M3 Map 1
M4 Map 1 2
M5 Map 1 2 3
M6 Map 1 2
M7 Map 1

[Liberation]

Looking good, cant have enough vanilla wads!

[_bruce_]

Swell one

Good luck

[John Smith]

Looks pretty interesting, I should probably go and play Episode 1.

Thanks guys. :)

[Graf Zahl]

User error? The WAD loads fine for me.

[Hellbent]

maybe i should have clarified. The link I first used was for a bad version of the wad, hence my original post. When I found the proper link, I edited my post and crossed it out to indicate that if you download the right ganymede wad it works fine (my post links to the right download).

[ptoing]

Just played the first 2 and a half levels here and I have to say good stuff. I then got raped by a Cacodemon because I was careless :/ This wont hold me back from playing the first 2 levels again though (this time I will save).

Really nicely done as well, esp considering it's vanilla.
Looking forward to the other 2 episodes.

[Cupboard]

Hey I really liked E1 when I played it a while back. Definitely I'll check this out when you're done.

Ah ok. Odd, all the links work on several browsers on my end. No matter, at least it's sorted out. :)

Hehe thanks. I design my levels for pistol start so that's another option. :)

That's nice to hear, thanks.

[Khorus]

Maps 1 - 3 are finished with a shot of M3 in OP. Forgot map shots when I started the thread, so they're up now too. :)

[Khorus]

M4 is finally completed with screens in the OP. I've tried to do something quite different with it like with E1M8, so people are probably going to either love or hate it.

[Guest]

I just noticed this thread.



YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

[scwiba]

The first Base Ganymede is one of my favorite levelsets of the last few years. I've been eagerly awaiting the sequel since I played it. Just hoping for a more climactic M8 on this run.

[Khorus]

M5 is well on the way, with 2 new shots in the OP so check them out!

Thanks. :) I think I can do a more usual M8 here seeing as E2M4 is the odd gameplay map for this episode.

[Snakes]

This looks pretty awesome. I'll have to play E1 sometime... just have to get my internet running DAMN IT.

Also, me likey that sky.

[Hellbent]

I don't want to wait, I want to play NOW!! /Violet

Ganymede crashes when I load it in zdoom :(

[DuckReconMajor]

E3 WE GO TO JUPITER RIGHT???

@Snakes: Thanks :)

Heh. Well, that's the second time you've said that, and you're the only one to have reported any issue. It works fine for ZDoom and all derivatives for me, can you give any more information?


@DuckDodgers: MABEH...

@hellbent: Have you tried playing it without 'zvox.wad'? Try all sorts of things.. does it work in gzdoom for you?
What about other ports?

Why do you use ganymede.wad? Did you rename bgnymd.wad? Try downloading it again from the archives.
Redownload zdoom as well to be sure. Fuck, reformat if that doesn't work..
..but posting a zdoom crashdump for a map author to peruse isn't really you attempting to solve your problem. Post something in the zdoom forums if you're having trouble with that port.


@Khorus: Looks awesome mate!! I love the low-res screens too.

[Khorus]

@hellbent: uh, what iori said. ;) Try a different port.

Thanks. :D

[Khorus]

M5 is finished with a new screen (3) and a mapshot up. I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out, certainly my best hellish map to date.

M6 is well under way too. The wad is starting to come together now. :)

[kristus]

I've been testing these maps and anyone who enjoyed E1 of this project is going to love E2. Adam grown quite a bit as level designer since that was released.

[Khorus]

M6 isn't far from finished. OP updated with some screens. Turning out to be my favourite map in this episode.

edit: Well, I would put screens in OP. But I'm getting a message saying the post is too old for me to edit now and to contact an admin (have I been working on this wad for that long already? D:). Don't have time to email atm, so screens are here for now.

M6 1 2

@kristus: hurr :)

[Use]

Looking awesome.

[Khorus]

M6 and M7 are finished, and the OP's updated with some shots. Not far to go now. :)

@Use3D: Thanks :D

[Khorus]

...aaaand construction is now finished on all maps. Time for heavy testing!

[General Rainbow Bacon]

If you want some testers I'm up for it.
