baja blast rd. Posted October 19, 2016 - Egypt + Nazi Germany thematic mix-up, lots of use of Wolf textures and SS Nazis. - Egytian sandbox city, no pyramids or trademark structures in sight, but imposing buildings of your own imagining. - A map like "Precarious" from Sunder but with all Egypt textures, liberal use of pain elementals. - The Shores of Egypt -- a typical Egypt map full of corrupt hellish influences. No lava or blood. - Egypt + '80s glam mash-up, bg midi "Walk Like an Egyptian", liberal use of pain elementals. 1 Share this post Link to post
RonLivingston Posted October 19, 2016 that av map 20 even has 20k sidedefs. so I thought I could make one that has 3k sidedefs instead 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted October 19, 2016 Have you played Scythe 2's egyptian episode? Also (though it's mixed with a futuristic theme here) have you played Ancient Aliens? 0 Share this post Link to post
Man of Doom Posted October 19, 2016 How about the first half of Epic 2? Or if you're looking for an official IWAD reference, MAP31: Pharaoh from TNT should work too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fuzzball Posted October 19, 2016 ..fuck AV Map20...NOPE Check out EPIC2 instead. ...or Ejipt from MOCKII :D 1 Share this post Link to post
Shadow Hog Posted October 19, 2016 You ever play Powerslave/Exhumed for the Saturn/PlayStation? Granted, it's got something of a Metroid bent to it with finding upgrades to let you access new areas in levels you'd already cleared to open up new levels entirely, but the geometry is pretty Doom-ish (in terms of simplicity, anyway; it does have proper 3D geometry, so it's not literally Doom-like), so it might give you some ideas. In fact, Epic 2 wound up using a lot of the game's texture set, so you might want to look at that, too, to see how they work in a Doom context. 0 Share this post Link to post
Spectre01 Posted October 19, 2016 Scythe 2 for simple, action oriented maps and Epic 2 for the more puzzle/exploration based ones. Avoid AV Map20, those folks are just joshing you. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tracer Posted October 19, 2016 Pillars, secret doors, and lots of traps. I also suggest checking out the MORTRES texture pack. 0 Share this post Link to post

Nevander Posted October 19, 2016 It's not Doom but play through or watch a longplay of Serious Sam TFE. You could get some sweet ideas from that game's design. 0 Share this post Link to post

scifista42 Posted November 8, 2016 The natural way how to get ideas for an Egyptian themed map seems to be to look up pictures, descriptions or ground plans of real ancient Egyptian architecture. So, Google image search and Wikipedia for a start, other sites if needed to look deeper. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dragonfly Posted November 8, 2016 The soon to release Episode 1 of Wolfenstein: Blade of Agony has some sweet Egyptian & desert themed maps. I believe that's going to be released within the next two weeks, so I'd keep an eye out for that! 0 Share this post Link to post

Memfis Posted November 8, 2016 This reminds me of Karnak Temple. The author had some book about Egypt, so he just looked at the pics and made a map based on that. It's kind of neat and it's not on /idgames btw so most people probably missed it. 0 Share this post Link to post
