FractalXX Posted February 6, 2013 Welcome, community! I came up with an idea for a new community project. I know that a lot people likes zDoom for it's features, and look. And of course it's not so hard to use, and it can make almost everything simple, those were complex in older ports. This idea came from when I was recently playing Torment & Torture, and KDiZD. And my favourite wad is Claustrophobia 1024. If you add this together: Yes, it would be an 1024 megawad in zDoom (or gzDoom). I don't know if it was planned, or mentioned before, but i think it'd be a good project. I'd like to know that how many mappers would be interested in it. Interesteds: FractalXX Primeval CorSair Fisk Obsidian scalliano insanoflex312 dachauncinator DEADLINE: END OF 2013 Textures: CC4 pack There aren't any special rules. The space is limited to 1024x1024, design, and other things are allowed out of it. Both UDMF, and Hexen format, and all zDoom features are allowed. 0 Share this post Link to post
mrthejoshmon Posted February 6, 2013 I suck balls at mapping! (or so I have been told) so I cannot help, but I do think this is a good idea, regardless that it might already be existing, but I doubt it, I would like to see this happen, but suck to much to help :( 0 Share this post Link to post

Not everybody can make good maps, even i can't in my opinion, but the point is that i'm trying. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

PRIMEVAL Posted February 6, 2013 I'm sorta intrigued by this. I may join in. 0 Share this post Link to post
CorSair Posted February 6, 2013 When it comes to projects bit more liberal in features, I am always interested. So count me in too. Aaand how this is gonna be pulled? 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest DILDOMASTER666 Posted February 6, 2013 Sign me up, as long as I don't have to make a map as awful as KDIZD 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted February 6, 2013 Heh, someone had an idea where you make a ZDoom map that's 1024x1024x1024. You could try that. Any guidelines? 0 Share this post Link to post
scalliano Posted February 7, 2013 It would be interesting to see this coming to fruition. You could potentially use ACS to transform the level as it progresses. Also, 1024 maps tend to have areas outside the 1024 area where monsters can spawn but the player can't access. A (G)ZDoom wad using 1024 rules would do well to keep that aspect. Also, 3D floors would be a good idea. 0 Share this post Link to post
FractalXX Posted February 7, 2013 Updated the thread. Fisk: You don't have to make maps like in KDiZD, the point is on zDoom, not on look. Obsidian, CorSair: I've just added the info. But there aren't any special restrictions. scalliano: Yes, i was also thinking of this. GZDoom would do well in those kind of maps. Added everyone. 0 Share this post Link to post
insanoflex312 Posted February 8, 2013 I may join in for a map or two. Would be nice to try something different for a change. 0 Share this post Link to post
insanoflex312 Posted March 1, 2013 so whats going on with this? We still doing this? Also, is it doom, hexen or UDM format? I'd say UDMF but its up to you. 0 Share this post Link to post

I allowed UDMF, and Hexen, too. I think it's still going, and already started, we just don't know anything about the maps, yet. I told you every detail you need to know I think. 0 Share this post Link to post
CorSair Posted March 1, 2013 I would love to share some screenies, but it seems the concept I worked was bit flawed, so I'll need time to do proper layout. I'll probably do just two maps, but not sure. Oh, and about time, do you have deadline in mind? Before 2013 ends? 0 Share this post Link to post

I haven't really thought about a deadline yet, but i think the end of 2013 would be okay. 0 Share this post Link to post

I told you every detail you need to know I think. Well, I mean, the wad needs to be as a whole either or, so I'd like to know which one to choose so no one has to do any converting. Unless there is a program for that. 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted March 2, 2013 @insanoflex312: As long as the maps will all run in the same source port (in this case, ZDoom) and are made for the same game IWAD (in this case, Doom 2), it doesn't matter what map format they're in. No conversion should be necessary. 0 Share this post Link to post
