WADs with best stock texture use?

Though it's kind of odd how they used circuitry textures on the sides of the cracked floor.

You are looking at it from a way to technical point of view. Forget that it is a texture for circuitry and it will just look like the sides of some broken tiles.

Yeah, I'd say check out the old version of Vela Pax from before the spirit of that project was murdered. :\

Look out, I'll murder your wads!

But seriously, I'm not sure where your getting this vibe. The project's goals were changed very slightly so that I could add some vanilla-derived edits. Some to help with limits so I didn't have to split lines for things like 32-px wide SUPPORT3 door tracks a thousand times. Others are for varieties sake since a 2-hour long map usually benefits from such things. Even after all of the new additions and map updates, they are made up of 95% pure vanilla resources.

You misunderstood my original intentions of the project from the get-go if you think I 'murdered' it.

To me that doesn't change much, especially since the whole concept of a "release" is so void nowadays with countless demos, alphas, betas, final versions, very final versions, final for real this time and special /idgames edition versions. I played a cool version and then a less cool version appeared so I claim the right to be butthurt and obnoxious about it! Btw when btsx release?

Void!? So, when people are trying to do some serious quality control to meet the increasing demands of the community - including yourself - you're basically telling them not to because you can't be bothered to wait with download or download it twice? Ugh.

I'm not telling anyone to do anything... Well, I could say "let's get back to the topic" but I'm not a moderator. :|

You mean the btsx release date topic? Okay.

In that shot (and in person) to me it just looks like jagged edges of a reflective metal, a pretty neat effect.

Hey, I remember a cool wad made by a guy called Hambourgeois, with a interesting usage of textures (and some hell-themed sets). I really liked the first time I saw it.

Since I can't find it anymore on the internet, here is a link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/e8oiz51wn2y31st/T667EEHc.rar

Here a list of cool maps that fit the criteria:

-50 shades of graytall

-Simo malinen maps

-Cannonball

-Lots of Mechadon works qualify(Especially Counterattack and Vela Pax,also various cp maps)

-Yakfak(there are custom resources here and there,but honestly stock texture use is incredible)

-No end in sight(but same case as Yakfak)(actually all of Natural Tvventy maps count too)

-gggmork stuff

-Brigandine

-Smax

-Check ribbiks post

-90s wads are cool too(sometimes astounding imo)

-SFoz911(known as Sky now) maps

-Dtwid and Dtwid 2

-Valkinforce(sometimes custom resource)

-Emergent

-In name only series (doom2ino,udino(wip))

Bad Religion is all stock textures (shameless self promotion).

DooM_RO · January 29, 2018

Not sure if advertising your own WADs is ok and whether you think I succeeded in my map is up to you but in essence, this is what I tried in my Retribution series. What I attempted was making a two huge (and a boss map) maps using only the stock Doom 1 and 2 textures. I really like the E1 and 2 aesthetic and I wanted to make something like that but polished. Leave a review if you want.

And some screenshots.

Brigandine

Scotty · January 29, 2018

Counterattack along with Breach and Brigandine are hands down the most visually impressive examples of stock D2 texture use.

Catpho · February 4, 2018

Some more:

-The ledge

-Waste abandonment

-Altitude

Also im going to edit links into my previous post

Catpho · February 7, 2018

-DMP2012,DMP2016(other dmps have interesting stock teuxtures maps too)

-Bauul maps(foursite,the terraces,dmp2017 map)

-Tink(for me at least)

There is just something about stock textures being used well that makes me happy,so thats why i keep bumping this thread :)

I'm surprised that Dutch Devil maps weren't yet mentioned.

Death-destiny's made some very creative maps with mainly stock textures.

I was gonna mention Death-destiny,but i somehow forgot XD

I like dutch devil maps too,now to think of it he has made a lot of good stock textures maps,but i keep remembering his map01 from ndcp 2.

99.9% stock textures. It's not up to me to say if it's the "best use" of stock textures, but I shamelessly submit this for others to decide :)
