  1. I can't believe it took me seven years to figure out I can get rid of those dumb numbers at the end of my name by

    Spoiler

    Using Greek letter Chi in place of my X.

     

    Now, I have the handle I've always wanted... more or less 😉

      Oh wait. Something I just thought of, this does make me unpingable, even when you type that character. Oops :P

  4. Literally have not even looked at these forums for the past 7 years so I'm going to make the spur of the moment decision to make an account and see if I can't get involved again. Hiya!

  5. Honestly, I can't believe there's actually a widescreen version of the Cryogun, it shows the whole weapon, but how is it being wielding?

      It's shoulder-mounted like the plasma caster from Predator:

      Make more content (games/maps/music/whatever), both of you. That's an order!

    Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the resource file or map.   I go to run it and about 3 seconds into playing it crashes with no error message for me.   Did I fuck up the resource file (most likely I'm guessing) or did I corrupt my copy of Doom (very possible as I'm an idiot when it comes to textures).   Any help is welcome, thanks.

      Rename flats "COMP04_5" and "COMP04_6". These names are already taken by patches textures like COMPWERD uses. Vanilla Doom gets confused when flats and patches have the same name.

  11. Today I've got year older, time flies too fast lately. Only 4 years left until my 30's. 

  12. How does it make you feel, knowing that your mapset will never be as good as JPCP?

      Doesn't need to be. My mapset is perfect just the way I like it c:

  13. You know, I've seen these threads pop up of people posting levels they made one by one and updating the thread every once in a while with a new map for people to play. I might follow suit, given there's two or three Xyzzy maps that have been completed for two-and-a-half years now.

    I just can't keep this whole "top secret hush-hush" charade up for much longer when I risk never releasing these maps at all. This works better for team projects where everyone naturally comes to a definitive release date by sheer manpower; I'm just one guy the weight of the whole project lies on. Plus, this development approach would probably be less overwhelming for me as it would be for others as they get to discuss and review Stella one map at a time rather than all at once.

    I can take a helluva long break between updates to this hypothetical WIP thread and people would be okay with that, right? Even if it never ends up getting finished in a timely manner, this project is a reality to me; it could be for you all reading, even if it is but glimpses shown sporadically over a long period of time...

      2)I really don't have the determination to finish a wad that will take years to complete without people's feedback.

      Yeah, I learned my lesson when the scene for unusual maps no one has done before started to go on without me these past few years, as evidenced by a couple of the later text screens in Xerxesia.

       

      I can't really update Stella "consistently" because IRL is actively taking my focus away from this mapping hobby for more important stuff, but I'll do what I can to still be somewhat present here.

       

      As for the next Xyzzy map, I'm currently trying to pay respects to a game I haven't made a single map for yet! c:

      Here's a not-blind playthrough of a really cool map that no longer exists! Recorded in DSDA-Doom 0.23.0, played the alternate wad. Hope it's entertaining!

  16. Spare weekend so put a map together. What's your opinions on having optional areas? my current idea for the map below is to have the left side grant the player access to a powerup before the finale. I could just make the keycard mandatory but the maps kinda mean..

    Found this from the old PrBoom+ folder, and I thought it'd be nice to save it here.
