I made a quick texture wad (did it as WAD since I can't get it to work in a pk3)

I intend to use it in my level but wanted to share in case others find it usefull

EDIT

screenshots from my level and of the letters in use

working on an expansion to my little texture pack... most are actually textures I made long ago for a 2d game but now adopted and modded for doom... but some are new

Also experimenting with animated textures

edit

added more animated textures (scrolling text and more)

"temple of the Robot Devil"? Nice

So i wanna give an update on my map. I finally have the layout done (somewhat). I might have to do some rework on some parts of the map, but i do wanna say since i am using the BOOM format (I know i should learn the UDMF map format but i like Boom, but that's just me) i do wanna warn people if they do find a problem in the map, please let me know.

As far as the map goes i ain't ready to post it here yet, i'm still placing enemies and other stuff in right now long with reworks. So i should have it ready for play testing by either the end of this month or the first week of next month. Also about the enemies......does the enemies have to be hard or can i do like a MAP01 style where it's the Zombie men, shotgunner and imps (excluding the Cacos i know there going to be in regardless). I'm asking because it will help me out a lot and i can do the placements of them as soon as i can.

zombie men, shotgunners, imps and cacos are all fine... I for one enjoy the occasional mass slaughter of zombiemen and other easy target monsters

did some more experimentation with textures and stuff and I now have an animated status monitor that the player can turn on or off and even shoot, after which it stops being interactive

Ok but for harder difficulty i'll toss in tougher monsters not to many, i don't want someone smashing there keyboards over a hard first level :P

so added more textures and renamed my texture pack to CBMTEX... now includes a demo UDMF level to show off the textures...

Sounds good

wip shots of my tex pack (the first 10 are animated) - total count is now 227

ran in to weird issues with some of the animations... is there a hard limit on the number of animated textures that gzdoom can handle?

ok fixed now... seems 8 animation frames are more than gzdoom can handle for textures

now the textures themselves are broken but a new generation of tex and patch fixed it

link to download of the newest version...

I am currently creating a library of pictures of old computer gear but in doom texture sizes

I am considering making a retrotex wad as well with textures of old things

@CBM I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I've been in quite a mapping slump and have not been able to bring myself to make a damn thing yet.

I'm not sure what the deadline is but I don't want to hold up your project either.

If the deadline is a ways I'll try to put something together but I'm in somewhat of a mapping slump.

Yeah same boat here as Mage. Not sure what happened, but I've had a big creative block
