TimeOfDeath Posted January 1, 2012 Final Final VERSION: SF2012_final.zip It's January 1st, 2012 and nobody's made a thread yet, so... SLAUGHTERFEST 2012 Resource Wad: SF2012-tex.zip (includes Infinite BFG dehacked) Other used texture packs: cc4-tex - gothictx - nb_recol - q1tex NOTE #1 Anyone can join, but your maps must be playtested. Some of the players may also have comments and suggestions for the gameplay in your maps. NOTE #2 At the end of the year, we'll all vote on our favourite maps. The favourites will be added together in one wad, while the others will be added together in a second wad. SPECIFICS * prboom-plus -complevel 9 * add coop starts * add difficulty settings * use sky transfers if you want a custom sky * custom textures & flats are allowed * DO NOT put any nazis in your map - the game will crash because of dehacked conflicts * only want to make a layout? post it here for someone else to do gameplay * the Chainsaw will be replaced with an Infinite Ammo BFG - if your map uses the Infinite BFG, your map is REQUIRED to have a death exit (kill/telefrag an icon of sin and a voodoo doll at the same time) - only place the Chainsaw in your map if you want players to use the Infinite BFG Slaughterfest 2011 thread: http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/56335-slaughterfest-2011/ /////////////////////////////////// // M A P S U B M I S S I O N S // ///////////////////////////////////2012/01/06 - Castle Lava - TimeOfDeath - post - final 2012/01/07 - Shore of Hell - Rayzik - post - v.3 2012/01/09 - Red Death.wad - General Rainbow Bacon - post - v.1 2012/01/20 - New Gothic Tribute - General Rainbow Bacon - post - v.2 2012/01/27 - Slaughtenstein - Phml - post - maybe final 2012/02/09 - Brookhaven Hospital - TimeOfDeath - post - final 2012/02/09 - Degrassi - TimeOfDeath - post - final 2012/02/10 - Bane's Atrium - General Rainbow Bacon / j4rio - post - final 2012/02/12 - Startan Arena - Phml - post - v.3 2012/02/14 - Flesh Eater - General Rainbow Bacon - post - v.1 2012/02/17 - Tingsryd - dannebubinga - post - final 2012/02/18 - MAP30 - War to End All Wars - General Rainbow Bacon - post - gameplay edits up for grabs 2012/02/21 - Damned Legion - Archi - post - v.3 2012/03/09 - A base - General Rainbow Bacon - post - v.1 2012/03/15 - Pure Hate - darkreaver - post - v.3 2012/03/16 - Damnation - darkreaver - post - v.1 2012/03/18 - KSP - TimeOfDeath - post - final 2012/03/20 - KykaMap07(Version4) - Kyka - post - v.4 2012/03/24 - True Grit - cannonball - post - final 2012/04/01 - Lost - elm 0 Share this post Link to post
Phml Posted January 2, 2012 Claiming this spot for great justice, and eventual edits further down the line. No more trudging through dozens of pages to find out the latest info, no sir, I am too lazy for that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Solarn Posted January 2, 2012 I'll try to participate, although I haven't managed to finish anything I started lately. 0 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted January 2, 2012 I'm obviously in. Thanks for starting the thread ToD. I was busy yesterday. 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted January 2, 2012 No probs DH, thx for not being mad. :) There's a full year ahead, so we should be able to make at least 2 full megawads (Slaughterfest 2011 was started in late July). My first map will be an unfinished map from last year, just gotta finish the last bit of layout and add things/playtest. 0 Share this post Link to post
MajorRawne Posted January 2, 2012 I book a slot. I've still got my part-finished Slaughterfest 2011 map called SplatterHouse. Screenies soon, but I am working on getting the level built before I detail it, so don't be appalled. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tango Posted January 2, 2012 claiming this spot, thanks for the idea phml 0 Share this post Link to post
TMD Posted January 2, 2012 I can probably push one out in a year. Ill take a spot 0 Share this post Link to post
Rayziik Posted January 2, 2012 I'll take a stab at it. Hopefully a year will be long enough to come up with a decent map... 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMer 4ever Posted January 2, 2012 I haven't finished a map in years nor have I ever done a slaughter map (and I suck at playing them too). Still, I think I'm going to attempt to come up with something as I've long been interested in trying my hand on making a map of this type. 0 Share this post Link to post
Malinku Posted January 3, 2012 I'll throw my hat in. Name: Ultra Warrior 0 Share this post Link to post
ArmouredBlood Posted January 3, 2012 Claiming a spot on the front page. There will be at least one map here by 31 December 2012. E: Promise kept, up to v2 now ;) http://dropcanvas.com/dn0pe 0 Share this post Link to post

General Rainbow Bacon Posted January 3, 2012 Hopefully. There's nothing going on HR wise right now :( I think we should balance the maps for slaughter-noobs too, For easy, medium and hard. 0 Share this post Link to post
purist Posted January 3, 2012 I'd like to join in this year. I was waiting until I had a map started but since we're claiming spots I'll put my name forward now. 0 Share this post Link to post
Rayziik Posted January 3, 2012 DoomHero85 said:Hopefully. There's nothing going on HR wise right now :( I think we should balance the maps for slaughter-noobs too, For easy, medium and hard. So for example, Skill 4 would be known as "Slaughter-Mode", 3 becomes UV, 2 becomes HMP, and 1 is HMP with ITYTD handicaps? 0 Share this post Link to post
tempun Posted January 4, 2012 DoomHero85 said:Exactly The Sky May be skill levels are better. (Skill 1 is "Ultra-Violence", 2 is "Nightmare!", 3 is "Certain Death", 4 is "No Chance", 5 is "!" 0 Share this post Link to post
General Rainbow Bacon Posted January 5, 2012 Yeah, I like Tempuns suggestion better actually. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phml Posted January 5, 2012 I don't care much one way or another for difficulty names, but I won't make my maps harder than they are. ;) Regarding DeHacked gameplay changes or sprites changes, any ground rules? Although if it was me I'd go with standard behavior out of convenience, I'm not necessarily opposed to differences ; it's just probably better if it's settled right now so everyone can chime in and know what they're working with rather than later on. What about skies? Personally, I'd be inclined to allow sky transfers and work it out in the end depending how many skies were actually used. 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted January 6, 2012 I think sky transfers would be cool, but they don't work with -complevel 9 do they? About dehacked and sprites: imo, I like the idea of keeping everything standard and default, but letting mappers include a separate wad with their map if it uses dehacked and/or changes sprites. Download: Castle Lava This was supposed to be for DoomHero's new year's speedmapping session, but I spent a few days on it instead. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phml Posted January 6, 2012 I think sky transfers would be cool, but they don't work with -complevel 9 do they? I think they do work. Haven't even tried it myself yet, but we discussed it in the previous thread and that was the conclusion. 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted January 6, 2012 Well if sky transfers work in -complevel 9, then I say hell to the yes! I just wasn't sure they worked because TheGreenHerring banned them in CC4 for not working in boom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Phml Posted January 6, 2012 My understanding is that, indeed, they don't work in Boom v2.02, which is the standard CChest was originally aiming for. Segs limit being raised and all it's probably just a question of consistency at this point, and the original guideline wasn't changed. Here we're mostly using -complevel 9 as a behavior and gameplay standard, so that's fine. Or so I assume. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
TimeOfDeath Posted January 6, 2012 Ok cool, I'll edit the first post. I'm on my work computer right now, but to use the sky transfer I have to: import the sky as a patch, make a dummy sector and use linedef action 271 for all affected sector tags? I have to put sky transfers in Castle Lava, so it's not safe for recording on yet. 0 Share this post Link to post
