As I said earlier, I'm surprised it took as long as it did to get started. And you'll get someone commenting on the inevitably of the coming cacoward for the megawad (see @Ancalagon's post on page 1). Not saying any of this is a bad thing. Just saying all these things will come to pass when you start out ranting about community. 1 Share this post Link to post

Because if you had 171 and all other maps have 150, then the total for 32 maps is now 4821. Not sure what the rule was but just making sure. OP is updated.REQUIREMENTS: At least 150 Hell Knights. So it can be 150 and more. Don't forget about one megasphere. 1 Share this post Link to post
THMG Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) If nobody else comes along, I bet I could mod copy but not modify so this can still go on /idgames Dead Simple to fit all 150 hell knights to fill a spot. Also, if they've permanently retired the Mockaward, we'd probably have to have 32 absolutely stellar maps to win a cacoward. 0 Share this post Link to post

Well if we can have more than 150 Hell Knights when why not more than one Megasphere? I feel like the 150 rule should be the minimum and maximum since the project name is 4800 specifically... that's 150 per map times 32 maps. 2 Share this post Link to post

I agree, even though my map will be purely hell knight/baron oriented, that i believe is less important than the 150 hell knight rule 0 Share this post Link to post

Empyre Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) Here's version 2 of Hell Knight Tower. I fixed the unintended voodoo doll, added a little bit more detailing, and added skill level support, with slightly more monster variety in easier levels than Ultra Violent, and with extra monsters in coop. I tried adding columns, but there was only one place where a column would not look completely stupid, the center, so I put one there. I wrote up a proper txt file, which is included inside the wad as a WADINFO lump. There is no new screenshot because they are ending up looking like black rectangles anyway. I don't have a Dropbox, but the file is small enough to load right here in the forum, so here it is: hktower2.zip The complete WADINFO is in the spoiler. =========================================================================== Advanced engine needed : UDMF used by ZDoom and its children Primary purpose : Single + coop play =========================================================================== Title : Hell Knight Tower Filename : hktower2.wad Release date : December 15, 2017 Author : Larry Collins (Empyre) Email Address : empyre65@gmail.com Description : A map for the 4800 Hell Knight project, which requires each map to be one room with at least 150 hell knights Additional Credits to : All textures come from cc4-tex, but I doubled the sky to make it twice as tall so you can look higher in GL mode before you see the solid color. The music comes from heroes2.wad with permission in heroes2.txt. =========================================================================== * What is included * New levels : 1 Sounds : No Music : Yes Graphics : Yes (textures and flats) Dehacked/BEX Patch : No Demos : No Other : MAPINFO, SWITCHES, WADINFO Other files required : None * Play Information * Game : Doom 2 Map # : MAP17 Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : Designed for Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Other game styles : None Difficulty Settings : Yes * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : quite a few hours during 4 days, my fastest map so far Editor(s) used : GZDoom Builder Bugfix, Slade 3 Known Bugs : none known, but please tell me of any you find May Not Run With... : non-ZDoom-based ports, Odamex, ZDaemon * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may NOT use the contents of this file as a base for modification or reuse.

Yeah, mapper's block on my swamp map has me actually making the base for my "basically just dead simple but bigger" in case nobody comes to claim one of the slots, so if anyone wanted to get working on a base for a second map, feel free. Theoretically, I could whip up a quick entrance map, and we could go as far over 32 as we please if we just us WAIT How hard would it be for us to make a hub world? Like, the framework could be made by one person, and each mapper could make a little prefab of their map to put on the other side of a portal? Think basically how skulldash does it... surely the "different map exits" trick is doable in the doom2 iwad. Edited December 15, 2017 by THMG 1 Share this post Link to post

I have literally no idea how to do that but I’m willing to try :P a hub would be cool, but maybe impractical for 32 maps? Maybe split the worlds up by a common theme or something and make sub-hubs in those. Like one would be dark themes, another would be tech themes, etc. 0 Share this post Link to post

There was simply too much knights, they spilled over to other games! Episode 2: Who turned the lights off? Trough the damp caves and bases suffering from blackouts, the one thing you will learn is that those green projectiles don't light up things. Episode 3: Mass transportation Hell royals don't settle for simple teleports, board their hellish tanks and airships. Episode 4: Bizzarro world The knights were getting hungry, and our ideas ran out, so we hurrily grouped together the most unusual themes to a grabbag of pain. Only two things are certain: Megasphere and hell knights. 2 Share this post Link to post
stonedbaroness Posted December 15, 2017 Beta! But playable and beatable (I hope so at least). I may do some major reworking and re balancing in the map later, but for now this is what I got! Requirements: GZDoom 3.1 or higher UDMF Format (May require strong computer) 300+ enemies Knee deep in dead theme Load map05 Music: E1M4 (Bobby prince) Sky: Skulltag team/ID software Screenies: (They take too much space to post) Load up all the realm 667 monsters!

Only two things are certain: Megasphere and hell knights. So, I like this. A lot. It's probably not that hard to set a line to trigger a script that sends you to a specific level.(Once again, think how skulldash does it.) We could easily go over 32 maps if we went this route, too. Now that some stuff in my life has cleared itself up, and I'm on my month-long break, I could probably get a 3rd map done to go with the swamp and not-dead simple. Maybe a toy theme or something. 1 Share this post Link to post
Plusw Posted December 15, 2017 Spoiler After some initial blocking out and encounter prototyping it occurred to me that hell knights in open areas are very hard to make interesting/threatening. I'll probably be scrapping this version to think of a better shape for the "square room". 1 Share this post Link to post

Nevander Posted December 16, 2017 Started work on my map finally. Got the main area basically designed and a texture scheme picked out, which resulted in a tiny theme change. Change mine from "Gothic/Quake courtyard" to "Quake/Plutonia/Techbase hybrid courtyard" 0 Share this post Link to post
Dexiaz Posted December 16, 2017 I'd like to work with this project, but I can't do this now so I'm afraid that every slot will be closed. Anyway, those screenshots and concepts I see here are awesome, lol. Even if I'll not contribute my map to this project by any reason, I'll definitely will play it after release. 2 Share this post Link to post

Misty Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Well, if project aims to gzdoom compatibility, it's possible to open more slots and use mapinfo for them. Edited December 16, 2017 by Myst.Haruko 2 Share this post Link to post
94's the best style Posted December 16, 2017 (edited) Yeah, besides, there's always the possibility that someone will drop out, so I would say that everyone who is interested, make a map. In fact, that just makes this whole thing funnier. BTW, we need a new hud. 0 Share this post Link to post

We along with @bonnie probably Boom minority. About my map, the only two things to do: adding items and testing map. 0 Share this post Link to post
