Doomworld Omega Project 2018

[scifista42]

Introduction

 

This is a community project that branched off the Doomworld Mega Project series when its newest installation introduced additional restrictive rules. Since the former rules being very relaxed was a big appeal of the DMP series for many people, this project was created to continue that tradition.

 

The basic premise is to collect maps from as many mappers as possible. Everyone from complete novices to veterans is welcome to join and submit a map in any format, for any port, and of any quality.

 

To join the project, post in this thread to say that you're interested in joining. You can join at any time during the year 2018.

 

To contribute to the project, post in this thread with a link to your map and its description. You can contribute at any time during the year 2018.

 

Deadline is December 31st, 2018. After this deadline, all submitted maps will be compiled into one or more wads and published on the /idgames archive.

 

 

Rules

 

- Make a map for the Doom 2 IWAD.

- The map can be in any map format and compatible with Doom source port(s) of your choice.

- No map will be rejected on the basis of its quality. However, abusive/malicious content will not be tolerated.

 

- The map must be playable in single player mode and contain an accessible exit leading to the next map.

- New: The map must have basic coop support (just add 4 player starts and don't lock off areas that would trap coop players inside).

- The map must not use boss death actions or other effects hardcoded to special map slots.

 

- Custom music is allowed.

- New: The music can be in any format that your target source port supports.

- Other custom resources (textures, game objects...) are allowed as long as they don't replace the game's stock content (not even RSKY1/SKY1 for skies, they instead have to be defined as unique named custom textures and applied via something like Boom sky transfers or MAPINFO).

 

- Always credit authors/sources and don't use anything without permission where one would be needed.

- New: No need to use any prefixing or other conventions for resource names.

- New: No absolute resource size limit.

 

- Only one map per person will be accepted to the project.

- You can make any changes to your map at any time before the deadline.

- New: After deadline (strict end of 2018), only fixing major bugs will be allowed.

I will try

[leodoom85]

This is tempting. Guess that I'll make a map since we have the whole year for it (hoping that no changes happen)

[Misty]

But use sky transfers or mapinfo for skies are acceptable or not? I just don't get it :""")

[scifista42]

It doesn't replace the game's stock content, therefore it is allowed. Since there's a rule about custom resources, and skies are a subset of custom resources, people really shouldn't need to have skies explicitly mentioned, but screw it, I clarified it anyway.

I could use a sky called LD85SKY and define it in mapinfo for example ;)

[THMG]

Nice! I can definitely work with these rules. Shame that it's not the official DWMP that's allowing any kind of map this time. GZDoom features, ho!

 

EDIT: Would having my map done within the next two weeks be in bad taste?

Once again, good luck to all Omega Project mappers.

[Memfis]

I think I would prefer a different name. Mega and Omega are rather similar, I can easily see this causing confusion or even making people think that you're trying to overshadow the original project (I know you're not).

What? I don't understand if you're thinking that it'd be too early or that it'd be too late, but it definitely wouldn't be either. Submitting anytime between now and the end of the year is equally OK.

I think hiding the connection between the projects could lead to confusion and misinterpretations just as well. I would prefer the connection to remain clear and avoid confusion via explaining it right at the beginning of the thread.

For DMP 2017, there were 3 maps submitted by the end of January and the OP was written in mid-January (one map was submitted the next day). For DMP 2016, there were 14 maps submitted within 2.5 weeks of the OP (seven were submitted in the first week).

 

So, I don't think you'd be accused of bad taste.

[MortisCausaDonatio]

I'm interested

[Major Arlene]

I'm interested. 

[Pegleg]

I'm interested in making a map for this project.

Is this only for visual stuff or am I allowed to slap a custom decorate enemy? :p

EDIT: I am wondering the same thing as @YukiHerz

[therektafire]

I am working on some possible music for my map atm (even though the map itself isn't done yet of course lol), at first I didn't know what to make so I just went with the first thing that popped into my head as I usually do and so now I am working on a crappy metal remix of The Imp's Song :D Here is what I have on that right now so far https://drive.google.com/file/d/17bMXn4hV27vHWpvddu8otcWJq0nbpxZQ/view?usp=drivesdk, it is in xm format btw since my map will be doom in hexen format

[Spectre01]

In. I will make a flesh-themed, abstract city, map with damaging blood that only uses stock textures. ;)

Alrighty then! Already have something in mind, so let's see what I have to offer.

So is this means that non copyright OGG for a gzdoom map can be used ?

Yes, obviously. 

[Wereknight]

Wait, when did this thread was cleaned up? 

 

Nevermind, yes I'm interested, yes UDMF this time, YES I'll use default textures only (*_falls and custom sky are exception...) YES with a lot of custom content (including monsters, decorations, something else, EXcluding weapons). YES custom TITLE + INTERPIC for project as it was done for 2015 & 2017 pack.

[The_SloVinator]

A quick question.

I was thinking of replacing keen with Afrit monster & is it possible for this kind of project?

[AD_79]

^ The rules state that no base content may be replaced.

 

Might do something for this as well, though my mega-project track record is non-existent at best, plus I've already said I'd try for DWMP, heh. Maybe, though, we'll see!!

I know. I was curious if there is a way that doesn't replace the base content.
