Post Your Doom Picture (Part 2)

[Dragonfly]

My Abyssal Speedmap from the session that took place last night. Sorry, no cock drawings this time ;P

 

Was built in 1hr 40 or so. 2hr total if you count messing with stuff in SLADE. Thanks to @Eradrop for the sky texture. :)

@Agent6 It does have some pretty good atmosphere though, and a level of environmental storytelling and progression between maps that you don't see often, especially in WADs from that era. It's one of those cases where the positives outweigh the negatives IMO, so I'd say give it a go. After all, the first couple maps should be enough for you to decide whether or not you'll be able to endure its switch hunting.

[Lila Feuer]

@Agent6 I enjoyed about 75% of ED the first and last time I played it in 2009, so I'd say it was worth playing. I want to go back to it again someday, but it's a commitment. Shortly after the sprawling and puzzling level design of ED I wanted something focused on pure action, so I played Hell Revealed. Needless to say, I got my action lol.

[seed]

@Lila Feuer HR is top notch, you should check out some slaughter if you want more action xdd.

 

But, since the switch hunting is supposedly so extreme it just won't be an enjoyable experience for me, and puzzles are something I'm really no good at either. I guess I'll watch a walkthrough when I have the time for it and if it's bearable I might, just might check it out.

Reminds me of Deus Vult

Was testing a beta version of a sweet upcoming Heretic CP last night. Of all the times I've died at a health pickup, this has to be one of the biggest slaps to the face I've had, though for different reasons: 1 gargoyles only do a max of 12 dmg, 2 I had plenty of flasks on hand and was just trying to make it to an urn to use it to its fullest and save the flasks for later, and 3 I not only picked it up, but had already selected it before dying ironically. Not the most original thing to post but this one struck me as funny enough to share:

I don't think I even saw the offending gargoyle until after it killed you :P

Can't wait to play with this texture pack. Neat job.

workin on more tools for the next dbx version

(level is an_mutt's port glacia, not one of mine)

[Bridgeburner56]

@anotak That's very cool. Plugins I assume? Do they work on GZDB?

[anotak]

lua scripts for the new lua scripting plugin. the spraypaint is 88 lines of lua including comments. if the spraypaint tool was part of a new plugin, the C# code required would be hundreds of lines.

 

it's my hope that people can write their own scripts if they want. I wanted it to be accessible to people who are skilled enough to write ACS or ZScript. i don't know if i'm reaching that goal or not, but at least one of the mappers who i've sent it to for feedback has been sending me back some very interesting screenshots. there's many times where i'm mapping where i end up having to do a repetitive task that is too map-specific to deserve an entire plugin, yet, it's too tedious for it to make sense for a human to do it by hand. so i wanted scripting in the editor in order to help people's workflow.

 

i'm not quite ready for a public release yet because i want to make sure the Lua->DBX API is in a stable state before people start releasing scripts. i don't want to have to break people's scripts once they're out there in the wild.

 

regarding gzdb, i had to make changes to on the editor side to support several things. because of that, the plugin does not work at this time in gzdb-bf. if zzyzx wants to support it he can make some changes for which i'd be happy to point him in the right direction. the code in GZDB-BF/DBX at the relevant parts is similar enough that most of the things he could just copy and paste 1-to-1 probably? not all of the code is that similar though. but i definitely tried to make it so that it'd be relatively easy to support in GZDB-BF.

 

to keep the spirit of the thread going, though:

(level is valiant map01 by skillsaw)

[elend]

Oooohhh yes, that seems very interesting.

Playing with stock textures

[lupinx-Kassman]

TNT's Chief Science Officer spearheaded several of the company's most ambitious projects. Some of which include interstellar travel, the SHAMAN AI, and now the New Technology known as Bio Society.

 

Doomguy doesn't know/care about any of this. He wants the yellow key.

 

 

[Eris]

I wonder which other maps of yours share this storyline. The idea of TNT2 canon including giant puddings in space is amusing to say the least :)

All pwads are canon sir. Any inconsistencies may be brushed aside with multiple heroes, simulations, time travel shenanigans, dreams, etc ;)

Well, some of them are fever dreams.

This is a piece of artwork I came across in the Doom PSX section of an old PlayStation cheat code guide:

[seed]

It looks fantastic.

[BrassKnight]

I just figured how to import textures in Slade so I started making a map using them:

The custom textures I use are:

Grey Textures V2

Mars 3D Textures

Thanks! High praise indeed. I will admit that I am a huge fan of Deus Vult 1 and 2 and that the aesthetic style has rubbed off on me. You're also not the first to make the comparison.

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

Still on Eternal Doom.

MAP22, there's a cyber stuck in the ground here, no idea how.

 

MAP23, the 5,000 AD section.

Either these maps are this buggy, or GZDoom or my computer itself is deteriorating in an effort to stop me from playing any further.

^{I really should listen.}

[galileo31dos01]

@Aquila Chrysaetos First picture, could be gzdoom. I read a while ago that vanilla maps can be buggy in gz, hence this might be a case, or not.

 

Second picture, not sure, have you tried in software mode? (not opengl)

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

That second picture was from a location I'm not sure I was supposed to be in. I SR50'd across a gap and explored over there and that section was really broken.

 

Anyway, I'm almost finished with this thing I've been working on.

A nice, clean automap.

 

 

 

Taken in ZDoom32 so the multi-tag effects will render properly, even if they're not visible.

Testing this will be an adventure, because I average about 5 fps in the outdoor areas, where larger fights will be.

[seed]

@Aquila Chrysaetos Did you happen to take inspiration from PSX Doom or something with the lightning and overall atmosphere? I'm getting such a vibe, so I figured I could just ask if it's true or it's just me.

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

With the colored lighting, yes.

Everything else is me.

[Aquila Chrysaetos]

Double post. Aw, I'm terrible.

Still playing Ancient Aliens in tandem with Eternal Doom.

Illuminati Revealed was a great map. I don't have an image of it because I was too busy going full bore speedrun, but the only thing that gave me any real problems was the infinite height cacos that would swarm me at the end.

I'd actually like to see more maps like it, that was really cool.
