omegamer Posted March 26, 2012 Well how to start...ummm... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This started as a little project of mine a year ago. I only finished 3 maps until I didnt had any more ideas. Now I started a new E1-styled map and I though about making a little communityproject of it. The goal is easy: Recreate E1 as classicly as possible (Vanillacompatible) There are following rules: -No teleporters -No Plasmagun or BFG9000 -Barons only as endbosses Map list: -E1M1 [omegamer,WIP] -E1M2 [Katamori,finished] -E1M3 Free Slot -E1M4 Free Slot -E1M5 Free Slot -E1M6 Free Slot -E1M7 Free Slot -E1M8 Free Slot -E1M9 Free Slot Deadline would be the...ummm...30.4.2012 But should be long enough to make a simple E1 map. No new textures and sounds allowed only new music if it fits E1-style :D If youre interested post it. If we're done with it I will upload it to the archives! Screenies will be posted in a second post :D 0 Share this post Link to post

Jan Posted March 26, 2012 How come you have 8 free slots, yet you say you have finished 3 maps? 0 Share this post Link to post
omegamer Posted March 26, 2012 At the first try I finished 3 maps but now I started a communityproject with new maps but the same idea :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Jan Posted March 26, 2012 So what happened to the three maps? Did you release them? 0 Share this post Link to post
omegamer Posted March 26, 2012 http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/54689-nostalgic-threesome-1-unfinished-3-level-wad/ Remember these are some of my first maps Im better today and will, upload screenies when schools out ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
Jan Posted March 26, 2012 Those screenshots don't look bad. I'll try out the wad when I get home later. I probably can't contribute a map to this project, as I'm still working on my own episode (no sleep for the dead, aka dawn of the dead 2) but I'd be happy to try any material you have and provide feedback. I do have quite a bit of experience with the E1 style. 0 Share this post Link to post
Katamori Posted March 26, 2012 I may join to E1M2. Nothing is sure but I try to make something. 0 Share this post Link to post

Katamori Posted March 26, 2012 I hope you don't mind if I do something speedmap-like stuff. I think making a classical map doesn't need much time. 0 Share this post Link to post
omegamer Posted March 26, 2012 I added screenies to second post. Sry for doublepost ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted March 26, 2012 Those thin paper walls on the second screenshot look really bad IMO.janvknn said:I'm working on... dawn of the dead 2 Awesome news, I'm very excited about this! 0 Share this post Link to post

Katamori Posted March 26, 2012 E1M2 done! Build time was about 2 hours. I hope it's easy enough for a second level. http://www.mediafire.com/?d25tcfxgg2huwr4 janvknn: You are right but I think we can forgive it. I also used three crates. 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted March 26, 2012 The maps show promise, but I would strongly recommend reading through this thread. 0 Share this post Link to post
omegamer Posted March 26, 2012 Katamori thx for your map :D EDIT: Just played it. Its really cool but would you mind if I remove the cacos they are more E2 style. I know the creates arent in the original E1 but well this is just about doing maps that feel like E1 maps, np if they use different tesxtures. 0 Share this post Link to post
Katamori Posted March 26, 2012 Of course, I don't mind. Your project, so you do with the map what you want. I couldn't find any names so you may decide about it. 0 Share this post Link to post
