Crawler - one boom map

[Archi]

A map I was making on streams for 10 hours(with testing), it's a "remake" of map16 from Lost Maps 2 by Joe-Ilya, though, I don't want to contribute it to Joe-Ilya Tune-up Community Project, because it's a slaughter map.

Have fun.

Skills implemented, track is "Yaw" by James Paddock from Back To Saturn X.

Ooooh, Quake textures :D

Nice romp, i guess going for an early BFG via AV jump out of the center might be the best strategy but i haven't tried this yet. Cool map.
FDA on UV & First Exit on HMP

Thanks. Arch-jump route is there but I didn't test it very well, it may be buggy.
Didn't expect cyber to go through a teleport, was funny to see.
Also, how does the HMP skill feels?

[tourniquet]

Yeah AV route is bugged i just tried it, some of the Mancubi pits won't raise and you'll likely get stuck in them.

HMP is fine i guess it should be comfortable to play for slaughter-shy folks, i'd say the Soulsphere at the start isn't essential. In case you gonna fix the AV route i'll do another attempt on UV.

Hmm, it shouldn't break that way. Their pits should rise, just checked the map and played it: http://i.imgur.com/rnHToNX.png

Hm maybe i accidently skipped a linedef otherwise i'm clueless why it didn't work. Anyways here's the attempt i was trying to record, i got stuck at ~3.20, recorded with CL9 so everything should actually work properly.

[Archi]

Yeah, seems like you skipped it. One of the most annoying bugs in vanilla/boom.

[Memfis]

That's why I always make important linedefs like this diagonal or even duplicate them. It takes very little time to do and makes the map a lot more reliable.

Just popping out to say that aesthetics were awesome as always. Gameplay on HNTR was somewhat doable for me as a non-slaughter-player, though still a little over the top with monster counts per horde. Hard, but as I said, apparently doable (I've used resurrect cheating anyway), so well done.

[Archi]

Thanks.

I should force myself to spend more time to make all skill levels balanced well, heh.

[tourniquet]

Hey, gave it another spin on UV, AV jump strat works pretty well still i'd give the same recommendation as memfis to make the triggers diagonal, i was able to skip them in like 3 out 10 attempts. The Cybie in the Exit pit is rather pointless, can be killed without hassle from above and one of the tele ambushes is bugged, enemies are stuck on the 4 corner platforms since they won't get lowered if you jump out of the center.

OK, v2: https://www.mediafire.com/?2os51fdlmh22q4k

Changed exit, fixed random bugs, made some fights less annoying, added a bit more ammo.
