cannonball Posted January 28, 2013 Music wise Map01 - DLA by Mark Klem (used in Memento Mori (maps03 and 27) Map12 - Bergschrund by James Paddock (used in UAC Ultra map06) Map21 - Eruyt village track from Final Fantasy XII (this is also used in Map19 of Speed of Doom and map21 of Epic 2) Ones I know anyway 0 Share this post Link to post
Xaser Posted January 28, 2013 The MAP31 Jimmytrack is called "Evil Incarcerated," and it's written specifically for the map. The texture credits for MAP31 go to Doom Juan for supplying 'em and id for RTCW, the source of several. 0 Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted January 28, 2013 Right, played map23 rage quit in the green brick area near the start. Simply put, start area not real place to hide with an onslaught of rockets from cybers, especially with a cockblocking spider. The next 2 rooms before quitting, blocking sprites, my most hated foe. The outdoor area is ok, but the flaming barrels in the following room are just not acceptable. I died constantly and ran out of ammo, you have to kill the baron/hell knights before advancing, before then a million losts souls have been spawned all over the place = game over. Map24 - illogical switches are illogical, that is all 0 Share this post Link to post
joe-ilya Posted January 30, 2013 Here's an update : music and a fixed trap. http://www.mediafire.com/?qnbyyaf0mmtf0n7 MUSIC : doom 2 : intermission (I think it's fiting don't you too?) 0 Share this post Link to post
_bruce_ Posted January 30, 2013 Map03 -thx for checking it out -Removed one crusher. -rearranged some items -a good Gantlet map would have been E3M2 if you take the meaning of it as a glove used for the purpose of calling someone out. I loosely implemented the finger shaped architecture and used the last part of the map as parody of an obstacle course + the brown textures remind me of leathery material. -upload later to avoid to many mini revisions 0 Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted January 30, 2013 Map20 Sector 67 needs fixing (showing sky texture on floor, looks a little odd). If using doombuilder, just merge that sector with sector 65 giving the sector same height and textures. Entire red key area needs height variation. Whilst you have a good knack for monster closets, perhaps using different types of traps would be nice to make the gameplay less repetitive. The second to last area. Apart from some texture misalignments, I thought this was all right. I like the minecraft-esque tree :) You are really obsessive with that exit. I would recommend a teleport pad or similar exit to the original map20 (pit with the floor showing the sky texture) 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted January 30, 2013 cannonball said:(pit with the floor showing the sky texture) To me, SKY2 looks shit when used like this. However, the pit doesn't have to use a sky texture. An exit like that of TNT MAP31, would look fine to me. Failing that, the teleporter pad, or even an type 11 floor exit. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted January 30, 2013 I'm still holding on to MAP27. Though I also have to do other things, I'm trying to find time to look at my map and add rooms and such. I've added one. I hope i can make it till summer. 0 Share this post Link to post

Kongming Posted February 2, 2013 Here is the fixed version of map18, changed the map to 'map18' instead of map01: http://www.mediafire.com/?h2ja3q2hycv20re The music used in the map is from Rise of the Triad; called "I Choose the Stairs". 0 Share this post Link to post
cannonball Posted February 2, 2013 I shall spruce up map12 today and add difficulty settings. As for map15, umm I will probably rework the map a little bit. I need to make it much more epic given some of the new entries and xaser's almost guaranteed epic map31 0 Share this post Link to post

However, Eris Falling, if you feel that another music would fit the map better, I'm of course permitting you to change it. Because I know that I've always been like tone-deaf, I mean I've never been good at recognizing a good/fitting music from a bad one.

CorSair Posted February 5, 2013 Out of curiosity, has anyone checked my map or is it satisfactory? Given that it is still beta, due to: enemy placement still sucks balls, STILL outta ideas to do filler in the map.And I've gotten reports that my wad and mudfall textures causes some glitching... 0 Share this post Link to post
Capellan Posted February 6, 2013 Map20 Ran around in no monsters mode, so this is purely a "looks and navigation" review. Not sure what the point of 'signing' the map is, but to each their own on that front. This is a big improvement on your last map. But it still has issues. It's possible to pick up the blue key without triggering the trap there. The exit isn't clearly signed. Lighting variation - there's not enough of it. The architecture is too boxy, and there's not enough variation in ceiling or floor heights. All the 90 degree angles and flat floors and ceilings make it feel more like Wolf3d than Doom - especially in the teleport section, with all its primary colours. Speaking of the teleport section, please don't use doorblu and doorred for doors that don't need keys. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted February 6, 2013 Capellan said:Map20 Speaking of the teleport section, please don't use doorblu and doorred for doors that don't need keys. Those WEREN'T key doors? Anyway, I think MAP09 is getting sorted once and for all, I've been given a pre-alpha by BlueFireZ88, but it's in RAR format. I won't post the link until I definitely know that the map slot is actually confirmed. NB: Obsidian has pulled out. EDIT: Expect MAP22 in March/April and MAP30 in July 0 Share this post Link to post

qoncept Posted February 7, 2013 Capellan said: The exit isn't clearly signed. Since when do exists have to be clearly signed? Speaking of the teleport section, please don't use doorblu and doorred for doors that don't need keys. The original Inmost Dens did it. Why is it wrong now? Edit: Er.. I guess it was the switches inside that were keyed, not the doors. I've seen it done in megawads though and didn't think anything of it. In any case, I (as someone not participating in the project at all) think that's a group decision and not yours. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted February 7, 2013 qoncept said:Since when do exists have to be clearly signed? They don't have to be, but it is nice to know where the exit is so you don't trigger it accidentally. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted February 7, 2013 My problem with it is that a solid DOOR(colour) textured door looks awful in my opinion. Even if the door was replaced with pillars, I'd be happier. Exits don't always have to be signed, but as Memfis said, I wouldn't want to hit an exit switch when I'm not finished with the map. 0 Share this post Link to post
Capellan Posted February 7, 2013 qoncept said:think that's a group decision and not yours. It's feedback. Not a dictum from on high. That said, just because something was done before, doesn't make it a good design choice ... and IMO, using key textures for non-key doors is definitely not a good decision. 0 Share this post Link to post
