Obsidian

Thanks for all the feedback guys! The wad is now on it's merry way to the IdGames database. :)

[Link coming sometime soon :P] The proper name for this is Cadaveric Incubator of Endoparasites, but I thought it'd put people off if they saw that in the title. =D Cadaver is a one map vanilla Doom 2 wad that sees me indulging in my flesh texture fetish: expect lots 'o guts, in other words. So far it works in Chocolate Doom and ZDoom, so I'm definitely doing something right. Expect a little DeHackEd foolery as well. :P I'll post some pics as it comes together, so feedback is appreciated. Starting room. Old pic from the pictures thread: basically a flesh church of sorts. Unfinished blue key room. In case you were wondering, I got the name from one of my favourite songs. :) Testers. -MaggotJoe -MagnificentBeard -Fernito -Memfis -Durian -Satyr000

Just an update to my map(the other link won't work anymore by the way, I deleted it to make way for this): Downloab. Just added some extra decoration and made the side borders impassable so gameplay isn't as bumpy.

I dunno, Helm's Deep? I recall friendly Marines were used in that.

Well, I enjoyed it. I don't see many maps solely focused around Demons, so this was a nice surprise. Some textures were unaligned and in cases a bt mismatched(ie gray crate texture with brown crate texture), but that's pretty much the extent of any grievances I might have. Also, try make secrets stand out a little more: say, a candle in front of a secret wall or something subtle like that. Hope to see you mapping for Doom 2 soon. :)

I seem to remember a pic in this thread a while back called "the anus of Satan". That one looked pretty groovy as well.

I can't not mention this. :)

What is it with all the Doom 1 wads popping up everywhere I don't have Doom 1 geez. Ahem.

Loving the hate mail Memfis. =D

"This Pac-Man is DEAD...oh wait, he's got 2 more lives, never mind."

I do seem to lean towards that "cramped" sort of mapping, don't I? Heh. I dunno why. Anyway, sending PMs. I don't suppose I could put you down for testing Tango? 8-)

The exploration one you uploaded was pretty neat. :) Pretty much what Bucket said, but a good tip is this: start with the basics. There's quite a few mappers that start with ZDoom or higher and create utter monstrosities, whereas starting with vanilla gives you relatively good limits that'll help you reign in any overly mad tendencies. This might be just my opinion mind you, so make what you will of it.

DONE! Well, sort of - I need some beta testers to have a look at it before I give it the IdGames treatment. I'm not very good at maintaining hype threads, I'll admit. =D Any takers?

I was talking about Single Player. :)

Nope, ZDoom. It's ma default Dooming port. Heh.

Just played through MAP01 and some of MAP02, so a litle bit 'o feedback. From what I can see there's a nice little exploration theme, but there's not quite enough eyecandy. I know this is vanilla, but the rooms are just a wee bit plain for my liking. The light level for the map was pretty even throughout as well, which bothered me a bit: the light textures on the walls weren't lighting anything! 8-0 Gameplay is pretty alright so far, but then again I haven't played the whole thing yet: I'd recommend throwing the player a few curveballs gameplay-wise to keep them on their toes. Hopefully this helps.

OH MY GOD LAG Ahem. My computer is somewhat crap. :)

I recall MAP01 of Plutonia had an Arch-Vile on the tougher difficulties. Scythe is a pretty good wad boss-wise: the first Spider Mastermind is on MAP18 and the first Cyberdemon on MAP20. Things get a bit hectic after MAP20 though, bear in mind. =D

I'm trying to create an M_DOOM graphic for my latest wad and I want to use the text that gets used on the "Nightmare!" option in the difficulties. As far as I know Doomword is unable to do this, so is there a text generator that can?

It's perfect! Thanks dude, that helped heaps.NOW COMMENCING THREAD LOCKDOWN

Eriance, from the looks of it. Here's a link to the thread I found it in.

Just a note on the lighting Katamori: try have extra sectors around light sources that decrease gradually in brighness if it isn't too crippling visplane-wise. The blocks of light look a bit weird.

I found this on the ZDoom forums. Will this do?
