Abyssal Speedmapping Session 26 - In Stereo where available!

Name: Bruisin' for a Cruisin'
Build Time: 3 hours mfmfmgmgh
Music: "Bruisin' for a Cruisin'" by Bobby Prince (from Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport)
Themes: E1 (ish), 32 grid, some high-tier monsters and weapons, backtrack layout (ish)
Textures: d1gfxd2 (needs this loaded), plus some new flats and textures from Mapgame by rf`

https://www.dropbox.com/s/t2f0zc6iehb4grl/Daisys-dare.wad?dl=0 :-)
Map: Daisys-dare :-O
Themes: All, of course. ;-)
Time: 2-3 hours, lots of slade 3 crashes(Beta). ;-/
Music: E2M6 ftw! ;-D
Summary: Only got 1/3 of the map done(1024x1024, has an exit), but its a speed-mapping session, after all. B-)

A Map
Build time: 3.5 hours
Themes: mostly 32-unit grid and high-tier monsters, loosely Doom 1 and exit at the start/backtracking
Music: Strain map 13 (I think)

Not very well tested and may need balancing, play at your own risk. :P

I had some annoying issues with monsters seeing me through walls (I guess node builder stuff) that slowed me down a fair bit.

Edit: Just did an actual playthrough, it's all pretty well balanced, although the ending is much too easy (and a few crushers at the end don't work too well), may end up doing an update later today to balance that.

Compilation version 0.1 is done: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ullyx0w8otumr5q/ass26v01.wad?dl=1

- All maps compiled into a single WAD.
- All textures are included. There are some unused textures still in the WAD though.
- Music is included.

These maps have NOT been tested; they may (and probably do) contain bugs. There may also be checkerboards, so watch out for those.

I will be streaming the whole thing in just under an hour over on http://www.twitch.tv/surreily so if you want to see me suck at your map, your dreams will come true! I actually got the damn VOD thing set up properly now, so even if you can't catch it on stream, you can still see me get killed by arch-viles and revenants!

Stream is about to go live, http://www.twitch.tv/surreily is the place to be...

A Map fixed and less bad. :P

Edit: updated link to remove HOM.

Updatedededed.

Update for my map.

MAP02: needs a way to escape from the spider pits

Please humbly accept this update to my map, which I hope you will enjoy. It should feature fixes to all of the hom and STARTAN/other ugly texture mistakes, as well as add an additional wall to the outside area so as to avoid seeing some of the more egregious sky cutoffs that the E1 sky is prone to. I've also jiggled one teleport spawn to make it not obnoxious, as well as fix two areas that would otherwise leave a player stuck.

Your link has no link.

Hi all, the VOD is now available on my Twitch channel (it's at http://www.twitch.tv/surreily for those who don't know). There is a part where I accidentally shit on everyone's maps, but that was an embarrassing slip-up on my part - I meant to only shit on my own map, but I was a bit muddled when I said it and the wrong thing came out :P

I was literally up 'till 4:30am last night to get my Doomworld Roulette map done before the deadline, so I had no time to fix up the errors in the WAD yet. I will check them out tonight and post any bugs that still remain. I also still need to add a sky in one of the maps and change the sky from MAP12 onwards to have the E1 sky. I will also propose a map order with the next version.

I should have some time to work on the WAD tonight... if nothing else happens...

Update to my second map which fixes the exit stairs and fixes a few ambushes that could have been separate from others. Also added some more ammo near the end. I did not have time to fully test this the other day.

WHOOPS. Fixed.

I did a quick -nomonsters run through on PrBoom with the fixed versions of maps, and here's what I found:

Thanks to those who have already posted fixes for their maps. I am impressed by the fixed MAP11, you got every single bug I pointed out on the stream!

Another patch for my map. Thanks for pointing that bug out, Surreily.

Fixed version that should deal with the bugs + placed a green armor at the start to even things out

It's here! ASS26 v0.2! https://www.dropbox.com/s/opai16u4sg49d6s/ass26v02.wad?dl=1

Changes
- Added TITLEPIC
- Added M_DOOM
- Added DEHACKED, map names are not yet implemented.
- Added various fixed versions of maps.
- Added a sky to TMD's map.
- Ran a node builder on two maps.
- Added three pathetic demos (complevel 9). Better/funnier demos welcome (again, make sure they're complevel 9).

Proposed Map Order
Feel free to disagree with this - the maps have not yet been moved. If you have something to say, please say it now, I don't want to have to shuffle maps around later :P

Wishlist
Some stuff we still need for the project. Thanks in advance!

- An intermission MIDI.
- An INTERPIC.
- An M_SKULL (maybe romero's head or something).

So, one of my maps became the first one, and the other one became the last one even after 4shockblast's map? I feel kind of honored, maybe inappropriately though. By the way, did you watch Dime's stream? He finished my map's last encounter just like I intended (and did myself, after like 40 failed attempts). :)

Order seems fair! Guess mine was a little harder than I expected mmmm? :P
I know I still gotta sort out the INTERPIC...motivation is a lil low again :(

Final (?) fix

Changes:
- fixed HOMs
- added unpegs to crushers
- fixed some texture alignment/choice
- added linedefs in one spot to minimize linedef skip chance
- removed some ambush flags on monsters that kind of trivialized the end fight

Spent way too much time on this map, sorry. :P

I could look into doing sample demos for this on the weekend after I'll hopefully play all the updated maps on stream.

Just a quick question before anyone goes and spends their valuable time on making demos: is it easy enough to change the demo's map slot if I change the map's position in the WAD? For example, if 4shockblast records a demo of my masterpiece (MAP03) and then I move it to MAP08, can I easily change the demo to play on MAP08 instead of the new MAP03?

Yes, it's as simple as opening the demo file in a hex editor and changing one byte near the beginning of the demo.

http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Demo#Doom_2 (this is for vanilla demos, but the principle is similar for Boom demos too, the byte will just be slightly elsewhere)

If I get the motivation to do so tomorrow, I'll fix up Bruisin' for a Cruisin', and make it a bit harder. It's intended to be E1M8 set on an ocean liner. :P I may ask for it to be moved to a much later slot if that's okay. Will provide the updates first, of course.

I am not sorry...Not one bit. :D
