Weather is getting cloudy....

Would it be possible to include textures from those other required mods as well? So that it I wont want entire mod I could still just play the map itself? Idea would be to make map not depend on anything else that iwad so that people can download just 1 file and start playing. Right now this is how I seed:

Hi! Nice mod. Would it be possible to make it point to switch target? I hate maps where I press switch and then have to search for half hour to find which door it opened only to give up and open this map in doom builder to figure that out. For example after I press switch draw arrow pointing to target sector on map or flash the target sector few times. Would be also cool to highlight sectors whose floor height is currently changing because some elevators are too well hidden.

It would be actually interesting to learn about it. could you tell in few words what it is and what triggers it? Is it TAS only trick? Can it be performed in zdoom too?

How can I reach the switch in MAP30 that lowers floor with tag 43? It is behind teleporting line.

I like your maps - no long key search or switch puzzles to solve, just monster.

That sounds much like people's arguments against rooting an android or right to repair and so on: "I don't need this option, so you also must not be allowed to have a choice.".

Who else got here from this TAS video? Have to say it's nice to see fine detailed slaughter maps. I am always interested in maps that have monster count of Holy Hell Revealed and detail level of Sunder. This wad is has maps that have elements from both.

Good maps! Here is a small mod that improves performance a little bit for gzdoom. The file is named zip because this site didnt allow uploading pk3. Just rename it to pk3 yourself. Basically this mod deletes corpses 1 second after death so the more you kill the faster it becomes. Map05 ran 20-30 frames per sec for most of time. Towards end it allows like 40-50 fps. The reason behind is that corpses still consume CPU time. And if that is not enough you can disable brightness calculations for monsters using give infrared console command. This way potato computers gzdoom can still somewhat smoothly run this map. GarbageCollect.zip

Hi! This script is there to hide cacodemons copses in outdoor area. When you press switch on outdoor area it releases 1682 cacodemons. Their copses make it difficult to see because there are so many of these. This is also why I lifted invulnerability spheres in the air - so that you could see them above corpses. You can compare this with and without this script. With Russian Over kill it should be pretty fast to get there with noclip and then give everything to get weapons + items. Or with no gun mods use sv_fastweapons 2 and sv_infiniteammo 1 to speed yourself up a little bit. I think Guncaster (I have not played it myself) either calls script nr 1000 on each kill which in this map happens to be overwritten by my script or it is assigning all monsters tag 1000 which causes script to be executed. I think more correct way would have been to remove this line: SetActorFlag(1000, "USEKILLSCRIPTS", TRUE);

Did you happen to use nukes - like slot 8 weapons and their secondary fire? If yes you might want to look into RO optimization tutorial: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?p=1184589 . The nukes slow it down because they do 0 damage to those outside of blast radius which means that it will waste still CPU time on monsters who do not need to be damaged. With this optimization you can even play Holy Hell Revealed if you want. It seems that author has worked on some performance issues lately but not on A_SuperExplode. If the problem was with machineguns, don't pick up caliber upgrade (blue berserk replacement) as it upgrades your bullets to explode on impact. Currently I would not like to reduce the number of monsters. Specially since what is too much is very individual - some people still use 2 GHz CPU and still get lag while others use 5 GHz CPU and they get bored in map designed for 2 GHz. Map that is optimized for your computer may still run slow for someone else.

Yes, sadly, that's life. Sometimes you can put in months of effort and get just 5 likes and few comments. And other times you spend 2 hours to make nuts.wad and you get entire world's attention for for eternity. And yes, I agree that it is very good map - otherwise I would not have used it as a base. It looks modern unlike some slaughter maps that are still stuck in 90s. And that level of detail in city which is purely decorative and evening atmosphere in outdoor area looks excellent. My only complaint was that sometimes I was running circles because some important stuff weren't properly highlighted.

Actually I am happy that you did this map. In every slaughter map topic I see people who are not happy that beautiful map is turned in slaughter map. Now I can just link your original map to everyone who complains about monster count. Ok to be honest I have one complaint myself - I aimed for 20+ k monsters but my 3.7 GHz CPU was not happy to have that many monsters in single outdoor area. Ok one could maybe add 2-5k monsters indoors but that would make it even more packed. Luckily 2nm chip was announced recently so after 5 years I or someone else could add missing monsters to get total count at least 20k.

Hi! I noticed that there really aren't too many proper slaughter maps out there so I decided to add my own contribution. By proper slaughter map I mean 5+ k monsters per map. I found excellent map UAC Vinur Prime Research Base - REDUX made by Zanieon for GZDoom. Luckily it has this in readme: And this is exactly what I did. I added a tons on monsters and ammunition. I also modified map where I found my self looking for next door, switch, elevator, etc for too long time to make important things more visible. And Added few secrets. Although this map has 13.4k monsters it is totally playable without secret or hard to reach invulnerability spheres (can't say the same for plainly visible invulnerability spheres). They key strategy it to cause as much infight as you can. It is hard to estimate difficulty level. Indoor areas can be worse than chillax in some places as wider hallways have larger monster throughput but outdoor area should be easier than that. Save game is your best friend when trying to beat it without weapon mods. Since the original readme also said this: So I had to replace music. All tracks are from opengameart.org and thus this restriction no longer applies to this mod.

Because it's zdoom I was able to stack 4 layers of cacodemons on top of each other.

Also Invulnerability spheres can boost your frame rate by disabling dynamic lighting (not with Russian Overkill). You might not want to pick up blue key before you have cleared this area because otherwise you have no where to run from monsters. In outdoor area you may want to kill arachnotrons first as their rapid fire rate can cause some lag. In outdoor area letting everyone infight with everyone at the same time can slow down your PC. You may want to keep infights localized. Tested with GZDoom 4.5.0. Other ports such as PrBoom are not supported. Remember that I only added monsters, ammunition, powerups, few secrets and modified music, credits for original map design go to Zanieon.
