1000 Lines 3: Community Project - V1.0 Released

[Liberation]

 

Hello all, it's that time again! This year we have been busy working on the best 1k lines project yet.

So, let's get down to business. We have 32 totally awesome vanilla compatible maps for you (+ 2 bonus maps), powered by a vanilla friendly version of Otex1.1.

 

The episode themes this year, I feel are pretty interesting, unique and hopefully people will enjoy them.

Final version is now on idgames.

Each episode has its own custom scenery, textures, ambient sounds and 1 new unique enemy.

 

A selection of weapons have also been tweaked, a better pistol and shotgun, and a new assault rifle to replace the chaingun. Allowing the lower tier weapons to be more useful and fun.

 

Some seriously extensive dehacked work has been done thanks to @Aurelius, allowing some QoL improvements like fast weapon switching and smoother weapon animations, additional enemies without removing any of the stock monsters and plenty of other tweaks.

 

1k3 also features a near bespoke sound track, courtesy of @AD_79, @Dragonfly, @Psyrus and a couple of classics from Tristan Clark ( @Eris ).

Very nice..... :-D !!

[Not Jabba]

Looks/sounds awesome, can't wait to play!

[Walter confetti]

So, the release will be officialized soon? Amazing!

[Pixel Fiend]

Dope

[Terminus]

Let's get this bread!

[Psyrus]

Oh, it's happening...

[Bridgeburner56]

The 1000 lines series has been an absolute joy to work on. This is definitely the best of the three, the maps are a heap of fun to play. The new weapons and enemies just add that little bit of extra spice and the quick weapon swap makes combat that much snappier.

Fantastic work

[dac]

Oh god I'm not ready for my map to be played by other peoples

[Egg Boy]

can't wait.

[Dragonfly]

It has been a joy to be a small part of this project! The bold statement (best 1k lines yet) honestly rings true to me, too - looking forward to everyone getting their hands on this! 😁

[DJVCardMaster]

Interesting

[TJG1289]

So I should just take a week off work to play through all the amazing WADs that keep coming out. I mean, the first 2 of these were good, so this one should be too! 

[Major Arlene]

As always it's been great to be a part of a project that makes me flex my mapping muscles in different ways- this set has been a joy to work on and I hope you guys enjoy it. <3

Thank you for making my map!

[Bauul]

It was fantastic both mapping for this, and playing through it!  The novel episode themes, custom enemies and Dehacked work makes this one of the most memorable vanilla projects I've played in a long time.  Looking forward to the full release!

[baja blast rd.]

Looks amazing! This and Ashes: Afterglow were the two releases I was most hyped for this later part of the year.

[Biodegradable]

Oh hell yeah, 1K Lines 3 baybeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Congratulations on the release, kids! I loved both of the previous installments of this series, so colour me excited to dig into this one.

[Dragonfly]

Just a little more patience - download's coming very soon. :D

[dac]

And here we go!

[Liberation]

And... it's done. 

 

Check out the OP for the download link and map roster!!

 

I would like to give a big shout out to all the mappers, the musicians and a special thank you to @Aurelius for all the hard work in helping me get this done.. I think fighting with vanilla has aged us both, pretty badly. :-)

[TheNoob_Gamer]

I played some maps of this project, and I must say this is really great! Congrats on the release!

[WH-Wilou84]

Congratulations to @Liberation and the entire team ;)
Pretty excited to play through all the maps I haven't seen yet !

[Misty]

Finally it's here! I'm so happy that I was able to contribute to this project once again :)

[Dusty_Rhodes]

Out of curiosity, how are ambient sounds done in Vanilla Doom? 

[TotalTS]

Let's gooo

Magic 🧙‍♂️ ...I'm actually not sure, hopefully whoever is responsible can enlighten you.

While I'm here I just wanted to congratulate the team on the release! Smashed it out the park once again!

Come to think of it, it may be dehacked. I think you can make a "thing" play a sound effect, maybe they just place them all around the map? It's an interesting subject, I'd love to hear how it was really done. 

[Dragonfly]

It's definitely with dehacked, and it's definitely placed things, I thought you meant more the specifics of how the dehacked works. :)
