Downfall

After watching the German movie 'Downfall' I was inspired to re-create the Reich Chancellory.

I'm particularly proud of the Eagle stonework!

Wow, that looks nice!

HOLY SHIT THAT IS FRICKEN SWEET! How long till its done, I want to play it.

Don't know when it will be done... a friend is currently working on the sprites for the enemies; we're looking for realism, and perhaps may re-create Wolfendoom to a higher standard for the 21st Century.

Wolf in Doom in Wolfendoom.

Looks very nice there. Keep up the good work mate.

Ooo I didn't think you were this good at mapping. :)

Looks great so far :)

But should be a bit larger in scale I think!

Comparing the people outside the building and what a player/zombie would measure up against outside the building in the map. I'd say it's pretty good on scale.

The scale seems alright, but it does need a bit of trim up top.

cool

Is it going to be a playable map (with enemies) or more about a viewing pleasure?

Oh an BTW looks great, I suggest you to look at the first maps of the Ghost Busters DOOM 2 mod for ideas.

Talking about GBD2 Scuba I remember the unfinished giant statue map, did you though about adding a scaled up sprite?

Looking good.

Well I don't think so... just take a look at the stairs and compare the screenshot and the photo!

There needs to be some more space towards the top, like the trim shown in the picture above. The windows seem to end right at the edge of the sky.
Just extend the window texture up about 32 and give about 32-64 units worth of trim.

Der Untergang the game :), looks great.

Yes, it's going to be a playable map with enemies... but also with viewing pleasure ;)

Thanks for the advice, I'm downloading GBD as I speak.

Of course, and I may even lower the ceailing around the windows down by 8 to represent the roof. The texture for the windows themselves need some work on them anyway.

Thanks to everyone for their advice and kind comments! I'm currently watching 'Downfall' & 'The Bunker' for ideas with regards to interior textures. If anyone can find any good, colour photos of the interior I would be very thankfull.

Look out there are two Ghost Busters mods, the one I'm talking about is pointed in Scuba Steve's profile

It looks impressive! =) Really cool: keep working on it! ;)

That movie is great

So, are you going to rebuild other parts of Berlin?

omg nazis

dn approved!

Ok... TOTAL noob question... but I can't seem to take a screenshot in Doom anymore. The colours go all fucked; this used to be a problem I only ever had with Windows Doom, but i used to get around it by doing screenshots in Zdoom and legacy... but the error is happening with both of these too also... please help someone. I've got a lovely screenshot with some of the ideas mentioned that i want to show.

Currently looking at Brandenburg Gate for inspiration ;)

I want to make a ten level TC based on the original Wolfenstein episode 'Die Fuhrer die', but a little more mature. I've got a copy of the original Fuhrer Bunker map, which is very accesable to put into doom.

The Bunker itself is in the Reich Chancellory Gardens, and I'm wondering now if I should perhaps split up Chancellory into perhaps two levels, with the Bunker being a third one also.

It shouldn't happen with zdoom and legacy, so I'm not sure whats happening there. What I do with 'printscreen' doom screenshots though, is load them up in a decent paint program (PSP for me), and apply the doom palette to them using 'maintain indexes'.

Sadly I cannot take the intended screenshot, so you'll have to make do with one from Build.

As you can see I've improved the windows, making them more authentic with the original Reich Chancellory. You'll also notice that I've improved the top of the Chancellory by including 'roofing', which you can note on the photograph of the original in this thread.

Looks indeed much better :)

I think I'm going to have to make the Chancellory look a little more war torn... what do you think?

Nah, what you should do is this : make the first map you going fighting deep into the building then into the bunker. Then make the second map The Bunker where you go in and kill Hitler, then fight your way back out, then make the third map the destroyed chancellory.

That sounds like a plan.



Oh, BTW, I was wondering how accurate the colour of your building is compared to the original seeing as how I've only seen B/W pics of the real thing.
