Title:	2048 Units of /vr/ - Clean Edition
Filename:	levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/2048vr_v1.6.zip
Size:	6.21 MB
Date:	11/01/20
Author:	Various
Description:	This project contains 32 maps in the main wad, plus an additional 6 that didn't make the cut contained in the extra wad. Inspired by projects like MAYhem 2048 and Congestion 1024, we sought to make a project with similar restrictions: make a boom-compatible map where the playable areas are within a 2048x2048 unit space and optionally use textures from gothictx. This version of the wad does not contain the DeHackEd guns. Feel free to experiment with mods of your choice.

Base:	New from scratch
Build time:	~2 months
Editor(s) used:	Ultimate Doombuilder, Slade
Bugs:	May still contain some texture misalignments. MAP04 in the extra wad is basically unfinished, but still playable.

(Famously heard in JPCP's Map 08).
Fixes: Made it possible to trigger the "Secret is revealed" message in the 
partial invisibility secret.
Made it so you can't leap into the hole the Cyberdemon is hidden in
by removing the hole and just having him teleport into place later instead.
(Thus also removing some exploits some gameplay mods would net you).
Redid the central pillars so the textures loop perfectly.
Redid the switch setup in the twin Archie encounter,
because it was so fucking everyone thought it was just misaligned,
NO, it was just a really bad design decision.

Author: Chopblock223 (5 map submissions, deserves a round of applause!)
Music: Track 04 from the .wad "Ol' No Name", composed by James Paddock
Fixes: Added some more ammo.
Also tried to cut down somewhat on some detail you can't even see,
because if you use a flashlight mod in GzDoom, the framerate, 
while otherwise perfectly fine drops like a fucking rock. 
Trimming didn't work, so just don't use a flashlight.
Difficulty: Very Hard
~
MAP31: Minimalism
Author: Washing Machine Enthusiasts
Music: "Deep Into the Code" from Ultimate Doom
Fixes: Fixed HOM, when the walls fell. Removed an untaggable secret.

~
MAP32: Club Boom
Author: Washing Machine Enthusiasts
Music: "Blue Monday" by New Order (MIDI conversion by anonymous)

Difficulty: Medium

***2048EX_v1.4.wad

MAP01: Vehement Onslaught
Author: ChopBlock223
Music: From map 08 of Crucified Dreams, composed by Nick Baker.
Fixes: / 
Difficulty: Hard
Note: Author's blessing to put in an EXTRA 
slot (doesn't fit in a 2048x2048 space)
Note from author: What a fucking waste of time this level was.
~
MAP02: The Dark Below
Author: ChopBlock223
Music: A .midi recreation of the Judas Priest song 
Out In The Cold, unknown author.
Fixes: Woke up Chaingunner in teleport box outside map.

~
MAP03: Pointing You the Way Out
Author: Anonymous
Music: "Hate Machine" by James Paddock (Sigil: E5M1)
Fixes: /
Note: Kind of a clusterfuck, would be good in one of the 
EXTRA slots as an interesting challenge map
Difficulty: Hard
~
MAP04: Roundabout
Author: Anonymous
Music: /
Fixes: Fixed a hom, but there's too much that needs to be done with map to make
it worth the effort.
I fixed some more HOMs, but I largely agree. No hate, but it's slightly halfbaked.
Difficulty: Hard
Note: While it has an exit, this map seems unfinished. 
Another good candidate for an EXTRA slot.
~
MAP05: Inner Cloister
Author: Anonymous
Music: "The Gatehouse" from Heretic
Fixes: Fixed some HOMs, 
Difficulty: Hard
~
MAP06: Missy Elliot Rodgers
Author: LunchLunch
Music: Kastle Kaos (DKC3) https://www.khinsider.com/midi/snes/donkey-kong-country-3
Fixes:Some teleporters weren't repeatable.
Though this mapset has poor multiplayer support to begin with, it can't hurt.
Difficulty: Hard

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.6 Changelog:
-Fixed a couple HOMs in Map18.
-Fixed an issue in Map04 where an Imp and a Revenant were stuck inside of eachother on HMP.
-Fixed an issue in Map29 where the yellow key would sometimes not teleport in.
-Lowered the outer ceiling height in Map29 to prevent the Cacodemons from flying too high.

1.5 Changelog:
-Redid the pillar/pit in Map05, redid that entire section of hallway even, let's hope that will be no more trouble.
-Map24 didn't have its keys tagged for easy skills, fixed that.
-Map13 was missing some linedef actions for crushers.
-Map18 had an incorrect linedef action probably done accidentally by me last time.
-Map18's music credits were also incorrect.
-Fixed typographical error in Map11 textcrawl.
-Fixed an error letting you get credits for one more secret than Map 31 actually has.

1.4 Changelog:
-Cleaned up MANY extraneous linedefs outside of maps (mostly lines people drew for themselves to
help stay within the 2048 limit). 
-Boxed in some functional linedefs outside of maps, because GzDoom complains if you don't.
-Fixed some fucked up doubled linedefs here and there, some fucked up sectors.
-Fixed the conveyor on MAP32 so that it also works properly on GzDoom.
-Tweaked some teleport boxes here, some teleport boxes there.
-Fixed a couple of missing textures and HOMs.
-Fixed a couple of slimetrails.
-Fixed one or two softlocks.
-Reworked the DeHacked weapons set thoroughly, thanks a thousand to Hackfraud and Brxyz!
DeHacked set now animates and sounds 90% like the smooth Decorate version.
-Guns now integrated into the base version of 2048.
-Fixed up the optional Decorate weapon set, also made a version compatible with Zandronum.
-Recorded new demos for new versions.
-Tweaked the big number 0, because it looked a bit much like an 8 at a glance.
-Touched up RSKY1 a little bit to make it more seamless and natural looking.
-Did way too many fixes to list all individually.

1.3 Changelog:
-MAP03 had a linedef in the flesh tunnel you could avoid which released some monsters, now it's
been replaced with a line that the player has no choice but to cross
-Fixed a faulty pillar in MAP05 which would get the Archvile stuck
-Adjusted some details on the beds MAP07 which restricted the player's movement slightly, along 
with some other minor tweaks
-Made it possible for the trees to loop on the scrolling mountain in MAP13 so they don't ruin
the illusion of movement by piling up at the end
-Removed a secret tag in MAP15 which was easily missed due to a short step into the secret exit
-Removed an secret tag in MAP31 which was impossible to trigger due to its location on a thin
sector
-MAP18 had a door near the opening which was tagged as S1- now it's repeatable. This map also
had some shotgunners and imps that are easily missed due to a door shutting on the player, so the
tag to trigger them was set to an earlier step
-Adjusted some textures in MAP28 and altered the big reveal fight to make it more open for player
maneuverability
-Adjusted some textures/flats in MAP30 and added more ammo. Optimizations were also made to make
this map run better in GZDoom
~~Thanks to Chopblock223 for the updates!~~

1.2 Changelog:
-Softlock in MAP03 taken care of
-MAP05 & MAP07 slightly edited to work in MBF compatibilty (for the DeHackEd Guns)
