Whenever i'm trying to make a platform lower or raise the editor wants you to put in a Value for *8. I'm not even sure what that is, and it ends up being a guessing game. i have to test it over and over until i get the right amount. What do I need to do to just know what number I need to put in? Thanks

Over here got me doing math and shit smh

I really liked this level man. You need to work on aligning textures though. Also, you need to put just a bit more health and ammo. I was left with 13% health and a single rocket launch. I kept getting killed by the same lost soul over and over again. I eventually had to book it and make for the yellow room. Still, pretty good. Also you need to DM me and teach me level design. the layout of this map is 10/10. I love how everything looped back to where you need to go!

I tried the WAD. I really liked the screenshot, and it looks cool. Just to difficult for my taste tbh. It was a cluster fuck for me. I just got slaughtered lol!

I made a mini game called surfing pinky. Basically you run back and forth ontop of the pinky's. On the other side you pick up a bfg. The goal is to kill all the pinky's, but you have to shoot the BFG while running ontop of the pinky's. If you fall, you get insta killed. It gets harder as you go on, the less pinkys, the harder it is to make it across. I'm not even sure if it's possible. https://www.mediafire.com/file/rnhfb2qszk2yqur/Surfing_Pinky_%28mini_game%29.wad/file

Okay I'll try. I'm still gonna give it a break, but I think I'll work on something stupid. I've always wanted to have a player "surf' on some demons, I'll try that. Thanks guys! :)

I'm at like 20%. I tend to focus on one thing and if I cant finish it, it drives me crazy. I'm gonna give it a few days. I also feel like I need to put out WADS as fast as possible for some reason. Why? IDK.

I haven't given up on it quickly. I've been working on it for a good minute now. It's a serious issue right now. I've honestly felt really discouraged and I've stopped working on the map. I've tried everything and nothing has worked. Someone said something about making a wall push enemies into a teleport. I still haven't tried that, but I honestly don't feel like working on anything. :(

so what am I supposed to do then T>T I guess I just have to scrap the whole idea :(

As the title says, my wife is going to attempt to make a WAD tomorrow! She said she wants to try to make a heart or something. I'm gonna try to teach her the basics, but I'm gonna leave it all up to her. I'm curious to see how it's going to turn out. I'll post the results here either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. (Depending on when she get's off work, and if she finishes it)! She's not big into Doom either, but she is a Gamer.

I just got an idea that's going to take forever. I'm gonna write your name down and i'll tag you in it when i'm done.

Actually, this is gonna take a minute.

Gimme about an hour

Is this a challenge? lol

I HATE the city levels in Doom 2.

Yup, that was the goal! :)

Read this. It's a common problem that I still run into, but knowing what it is will really help you. https://andrewyoderdesign.blog/2019/08/04/the-door-problem-of-combat-design/

I'm so confused. There's so many options, and IDK what to use. I use Hexen now, but I get told to use UDMF or BOOM. I started with Doom builder, then I moved to Ultimate Doom Builder (Which I LOVE). There's even more options then that though! It's pretty overwhelming. I wish there was one editor, and one program that worked with doing everything. EDIT: I meant to say what FORMAT should I be editing in. I'm pretty happy with UDB.

C1 Is DONE! :) It surprisingly took me all day. I'm not familiar with the original Doom format. I also remade the whole map twice lol. I tried to stick to the 1024 x 1024 rule as close as possible. There's a few sectors that stick out. I put a spawn with a shotgun to show the entrance. if you want to delete those and connect them it's fine. :) If you want me to change anything let me know. I've been wanting to make a puzzle map so this was me just kinda testing the waters. https://www.mediafire.com/file/cyuq5ol66hw6whv/C1.wad/file

I'm struggling with quit a few things right now. 1. Finding a good balance of combat. (Trying not to use to many enemies, or the wrong enemies for areas) 2. Fixing the "door problem". (You open a door to a room, and just stand there to shoot the enemies.) 3. Detailing rooms. (I use the same techniques, I need to learn some new ones.) 4. Making rooms that aren't square. (I've also been trying to make stairs that curve, I just can't do it.)

ah okay, I thought it was a shared WAD. I'll get it done tomorrow! :) It has to be 1024 x 1024 right? Is there a common theme? I don't wanna make an outdoors area and it turns out it's all inside.

LOL so what do I do? Nothing? jk jk jk, okay i'll connect it to C1 and do something. Thanks! :) Who has the WAD right now?

Can I get in on this? I'll take any cell. How detailed does it need to be, and is there a strict time frame?

UDMF is going to take over the world.

There's some textures that won't allow you to move them, such as light textures, and teleports. This is honestly incredibly frustrating. I find myself using other textures in their place, but I really want to use the original textures. I'm using Ultimate Doom Builder, Doom 2 in hexen format. Thank you.
