Check out this map called 100,000 Revenants. It has what you're describing.

Thank you very much, @Paul977. I do not agree with your sentiment, as the map is quite toned down outside of UV, and I believe UV should be a challenge. Still, it's done for all I care, unless bugs are found. Sorry for the late reply, I've been giving the community a break while I work on my current project. Otherwise I'd be spending all the time talking about it instead of getting stuff done.

[20000 years later] I don't quite mind. It's one of those "I would mind, but you have a strong point" things. Do what you think it's best. Hell, give me a week and I could even add a secret exit to it, if you think it'd be better as MAP31.

Come all, ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on the tale of how Doomguy played hockey against hell and died over and over again for the amusement of the demons! Or just download and play it, I guess. Download (ZDoom required, but I'm lazy and only tested it on the latest GZDoom): https://www.dropbox.com/s/jtay0vc2x7wa5us/puckdoom.wad?dl=1 https://mega.nz/#!FBsX1ABK!RD0Mp5z6UjQE_s2jF1hM7DUK1a2PNzzq6zDuSuaXvwg Screenshot (just one, they don't grow on trees) Story: Doomguy was hired by a company with a subdivision that makes mobile games. After playing a prototype of their most recent game, Angry Pucks, Doomguy laughed, sat down at his workstation and in 30 minutes made what took a group of 4 persons a pair of months to make. After the boss noticed his speed of development, he was given a few days to make it a real game. He was then kidnapped by demons, thrust into a hockey arena and forced to play Hell Hockey for their amusement. Doomguy's game was forever unfinished. (No, but seriously, all but the last paragraph is real, and if you guys wanna check out the game that originated this, that'd be really sweet of you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.babyowlstudios.angrypucks ) Reviews: "This is more fun than our game!" ~ Lead Developer of Angry Pucks "I'd actually play this if it ran on my phone." ~ Boss "You'll be giving a workshop on the Doom Engine the next month, if development turnout on it is really this fast." ~ Boss+1

I'm just really afraid you'll disappear before releasing any of the Doom RPG assets, personally.

So, you know how Quake 1 has overbright support? As in, brightness can go up to 200%? So, a Quake port that uses an HDR TV to represent overbright as true HDR bloom blingbling. Hell, I'd do it myself if a decent HDR TV wasn't like, 3 months of my pay.

I'm pretty sure you can do that... At the very least with ZScript. The code would be hellish and for some levels it'd eat insane amounts of CPU (10sector.wad, I'm looking at you) but I think it's doable.

I made a few maps when I was 14-16. Never posted them, lost them in an HD change, and they all sucked real hard from a gameplay point. That said, Shrooms referenced them a fair bit. The best map I made back then had quite a few windows that showed the sky and a little shrine, which ended up being the end-of-level building in Shrooms (That also makes me wonder how uncommon a WAD with the level exit looking almost the same in all levels is). The maze and the final battle in MAP02 of Shrooms were strongly based on the same map, and a few rooms in MAP03 of Shrooms were based on bits and pieces of these maps, specially the "fleshy whale mouth".

Did someone say experimental? No promises other than me downloading the pack and messing around with it, though. Got a busy job, got a literal game pitch for a game in the Doom engine approved today (though it's a 5-minute casual game to hype the release of a mobile game)... Not much time to fool around remaining. Eternity is Boom compatible, right? Specially the silent, invisible line teleporter effect? Been thinking on making a properly 4D map for quite a bit. And now I disappear until next Sunday so I can make my #666 post be worth it. See ya later.

He comes. Fair warning, all those codes only work for Doom 2, version 1.667. They were removed from later releases.

Spawn thing at a random point. Every 35 tics, everyone who's too far away takes damage (literally use Pythagoras' theorem for the distance calculation). Make a quick function to spawn things at the edge of the circle too (angle w/ fixed radius to x,y coordinates, again Pythagoras' with some sine / cosine thrown in), so people can see it. In other words, geometry.

Why exactly? Don't get me wrong, but it seems like you've been faced with a problem, found something that might work and are trying to do that; Meanwhile someone with more experience can give you a better way of accomplishing what you want.

Just post the .wad file. Upload it to Mediafire, Mega, Google Drive or Dropbox. I'm interested in how you're transitioning between the areas. I don't remember Boom having anything that allowed you to teleport during an elevator ride, and this kind of hackery interests me.

Just a little post so I can keep track of how this develops. Thanks for your good work, guys / gals. Might end up making a third map since everything is so slow, but no promises.

https://doomwiki.org/wiki/MUSINFO That should explain it pretty well. You might have to enter the thing number by hand though. This should work in Boom format and ZDoom: Set the damage normally. Make a linedef somewhere that points in the direction you want the floor to scroll. (Think of it as drawing a vector, if you've learned that in math/physics) Set the line to have action 253:Scroll Tagged Floor, Carry Objects, tag it and the sector with the same tag. Optional, but highly recommended: Scream in anger, as drawing the line is just like plugging in an USB cable, it always goes the wrong way the first time. Alternatively, if you're using (G)ZDoom: https://zdoom.org/wiki/Scroll_Floor

You want someone to play your map exactly as intended, you have the tools. It's a question of how much effort you're willing to put in, so the player will have the exact experience you want them to have. I agree with you though, never seen anyone use it lol

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Compatibility_options "The most important compatibility flags can be set or cleared in MAPINFO as well. This allows to create special map definitions that set the needed parameters to play the map properly. If a compatibility flag is set in MAPINFO this setting will override any change through the menu or by altering the console variable's value." Blame the authors who don't read the manual before making maps. :P Though yes, sure, can't blame a 2004 map for not doing this and so on, but nowadays your only excuse not to use these is not knowing about it.

Got a full-time job, time for enjoying myself severely cut down on. Still, sure, I can probably arrange an evening or two for this... Oh, wait, megawad, holy jeeziz beeziz. I'll do my best, really, but being a sane and healthy person takes priority. And the way my job is set up is taking away most of my sanity away. Anyway, yeah sure, I'll give this a playthrough as soon as possible. But with like 2, maybe 3 hours free per evening, and me having bought The Witcher 3 recently... I might be done with this by the end of the year. Hope that's good enough. I just expect you to return the favor when I release my next project. Don't worry, it won't be more than a pair of maps, not counting the intro map. :)

Not inside Doom Builder, or even GZDoom Builder. You have to run the game to see the cameras working. Same with portals.

Oh jeez, I got a little mention for Idle Doom? Neat, but I'm not sure if I should be sad or proud. It was just a "lolololol let's make this silly thing happen in a weekend" and it just blew up. Articles in mainstream media, let's plays and so on. Feels a bit meh to be in the limelight because of a one-off joke. Still, I guess sometimes you can get successful with 99% inspiration and 1% perspiration. Thanks, everyone. I love you too. <3 Now, back to work. pillars.wad won't make itself. Good to know its main inspiration, dobu, got the mapper of the year award, I'm drinking his kool-aid straight from the tap for this.

Come all, ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on the tale of how Doomguy effortlessly defeated a legion of hell bigger than all of the other Doom games combined! Or just download and play it, I guess. Download (GZDoom required, ZDoom doesn't have the features needed): Changelog: Added TITLEPIC, sky and ending; Fixed Cyberdemons being able to kill you; Level looks a bit better. Screenshots: Story: Doomguy was relaxing after a busy day. He was playing some games on Firefox 829. Suddenly, he had an idea. He phoned his friend at UAC, John Science. John: Hello, Doomguy! How are you? Doomguy: Unf! Urgh grunt! John: An idea to effortlessly destroy all of Hell? We run a teleporter to Hell, pull them in one by one and a we fire half a dozen BFGs at what comes through? Sounds good! Can't see that going wrong! Doomguy: Ungh oomph! John: I'll talk to my boss tomorrow, see if he thinks we can do it. Pass by the lab when you got the time. The next day... Doomguy: Yeaargh! John: Hey there, bud! I talked to my boss and I got some bad news. UAC cut our funding on Hell-related matters. Screaming something about "more rendering servers to the megatexture gods!," whatever that means. Doomguy: Urgh... John: Don't worry, it wasn't a flat out no. We got a pistol and a small teleporter. Doomguy: Go fuck yourself! John: Easy buddy, no need to get brutal. We show them that the idea works by killing demons and he gets us funding to upgrade the system. We'll build your dream killing machine. Let me show you the prototype...

Same about Strife. Guess it's because they weren't published by id.

My guess would be legal teams for a huge corporation hearing a tiny comment and making a storm in a cup of water. Then they make Mark do that little change, pat each other on the back, get to show to their bosses that they 1- took down a risk to the profits of the corporation and 2- Made some buzz so people won't try that shit again. Besides, I'm not a lawyer but BD's sprites are so edited, Mark has a good chance at getting a fair use verdict. Yes, they're the same characters and sprites at first, but the transformative nature is all over the project.

Truly, verily abandoned, only one level. A look at the screenshot should be enough to tell why. https://i.imgur.com/SOUGT9p.png Though I have this level that's stuck in development hell and texturing hell for so long, that I might as well call it abandoned. Worst part is, it started as a weekend-long speedmap.

I'll deeply agree with Nine Inch Heels' post, but at the same time, the Flesh Wizard: http://www.realm667.com/index.php/en/beastiary-mainmenu-136-69621/doom-style-mainmenu-105-73113/571-flesh-wizard It warps around, appears, fires a Hell Knight shot and disappears. Very annoying, very creepy, very tense monster. Can be as dangerous as an imp or an arch-vile in the right places.
