Pinchy Posted December 31, 2015 Based After learning the basics of building levels for Doom I decided that I wanted to take the time to learn how to build and mod things up to the highest level before ZDoom, in order to get a strong foundation before removing all the limits. So I created a project that would allow me to learn all of the technical and creative aspects I came across in other works I had played and seen (and a lot more!). I have created and submitted many maps whilst this project was in progress and have learned much from experimenting in those as well. Since the project was on hold from March-October there is a transition in mapping styles after MAP06, I consider these older ones to be legacy maps that I would like to keep mostly intact so I can see how far I've come. I want to clean out my current projects ready for 2016 so I can move on, therefore I will only be doing bug fixes for this project.

Caleb13 Posted January 1, 2016 Ah yes, very nice work indeed! My only gripe was that the hell maps always used the monsters-teleport-in trap, it got old and predictable after a while. I played this in Zdoom 2.8pre-1805 and I noticed some problems: -Map07: I completely missed 4 imps triggered by tag 61 and 4 sargeants triggered by tag 166, I had to use editor to see what unleashes them to obtain 100% kills. -Map09: The final fight is pure luckfest, because there is nowhere to hide from revenant fireballs and the player can easily die if the super-barons decide to start shooting on his/her way to the buildings. 4 imps (things 586 etc.) are stuck. I completely missed 4 cacodemons triggered by tag 20, I had to look in editor. -Map10: This was super annoying platforming experience, definitely the worst map of the set. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so long. Eh, I just used "fly" command in half the rooms. -Map11: The BFG super-baron became stuck right when he teleported in. And there were some Zdoom warnings: Spoiler map07 - Between The Heat Line 3970 has no first side. Line 3970's right edge is unconnected <-------------------------------> map08 - Fight Knight Line 470 has no first side. Line 471 has no first side. Line 474 has no first side.

Pinchy Posted January 1, 2016 Version 1a Fixed these minor issues. The ZDoom warnings are just for the single lines used to create the scrolling floors. 0 Share this post Link to post
Suitepee Posted January 3, 2016 I playtested an earlier version of this, but I can vouch for this wad being quite good and is worth checking out. I see the same kind of future super-awesome mapper potential with Pinchy that I do with AD79... 0 Share this post Link to post
Terminus Posted January 3, 2016 These maps are absolutely stunning so far! I'm up to Map08 and I have no major complaints. Some moments often catch you off guard such as that one keycard trap that spawns over a hundred Imps and Demons but other than that I'm having a blast. Great work on this one and I'll be sure to report issues if I find any :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Terminus Posted January 4, 2016 Sorry for the double post, I just played through the last 4 maps. Fantastic stuff as usual, however I found some bugs stated below: In Map09, these imps are stuck in the wall. This happens only on one side and the other side's imps are just fine. Again in Map09, this Mancubus that teleports is stuck between the path and the gate. The other one isn't. In Map10, these lines show up in the console upon loading the map. This was played in the latest official GZDoom build, by the way. Hope these are helpful. 0 Share this post Link to post
