Doing different lighting for ceilings and floors with sector lighting is difficult, but rewarding.

I finished the "architecture" of Map 1 of X² which has one sector and I just have some routing/lock outs to set up for the keys to make the various areas necessary to travel through. I think I fixed the insane number of slime trails that only having one sector ended up creating for me, at least I hope. Anyway SpaceCat wanted to see if there was a 'playable' version, and I made a one map version (the other maps are nearly done too) without monsters. If you'd like to open the map and look at the silly 1 sector midtexture shenanigans I pull off, here's the wad link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17zsQ9FwOHhOD28WD39XpyyGtzTn9Ysd8/view?usp=drive_link REQUIRES SOFTWARE, NOT HARDWARE. GZDoom might handle it properly w/ hardware, I forgot to test. GZDoom HARDWARE works, but freelook should be disabled. Holy shit! It's fabulous! Is this wad available or still in the development?

Thanks so much!

Unless I'm missing some button, you can edit comments and even the OP, but not thread titles.

Dang, I mistitled this thread. :(

Hi all, I've been looking for new and interesting music videos and/or shorts that are great to watch when intoxicated. Please reply below with your recommendations and a brief explanation of why you recommend them. Keep in mind this is for the most visually "awesome" first and aurally "awesome" second. My current playlist is below. It's not in any order, just stuff as I find it gets added.

It's always fun to see people work with limited sectors.

Hiding your pics often causes your comment to get overlooked, I'd recommend against it. You've got some great screenshots, let's see em!

I'm still developing, it's got three empty slots to start from scratch, two maps that need finishing. The original post I made about a month in on development is quite old now: I'll be making a new thread to request testers sometime soon I suppose. The big thing is: each map has no more sectors than the map slot # it's in, so doing this stuff using only one sector has been quite a task.

I decided to replace map 1 of X² with recreated elements from the other maps in the wad. It's been interesting faking floors with midtextures. The gameplay won't be that impressive I suppose since it's just one cyber, but I'm impressed with the aesthetic I was able to get in 1 sector. It even has working bars and opening doors, so that's cool. Here's a sample of what I have:

So, I missed the whole point of your message because you hid your pictures in the quote thingie. Your amazing work deserves more support, so please, in the future don't hide your pix.

The first title pic looks better. I recall a community project that had a gigantic toilet with a roll of toilet paper that was 2x the player's height, unfortunately I don't remember who made it. If you can track it down, they might be a good contributor.

If there's an attempt to avoid IP law BS by using Ktulu, I'd recommend creating your own mythos. Otherwise, I'd spell it according to the original source which is Cthulhu. Perhaps there's a story I'm missing so I could give better insight?

I finally got some inspiration to knock out a single fight speed map for map 16 in X². It took about an hour to make some custom textures and import them, then another five to make the map, 2 more tweaking the combat. It uses the same formula for all other X² maps, so this one has 16 sectors, 16 weapon pickups, 16 other pickups, and 256 monsters. I still have 2 sectors to and 2 of the sectors in use are just being used for teleporters so I could repurpose them elsewhere if I need them for some aesthetic choice.
