Try to recreate TNT from memory! (Community Project)(Closed)

Adding on to this, if anyone thinks I should go back and add more detail without changing the feel of the map, I can certainly do that. I was specifically avoiding John Romero's rules of map design because I recalled TNT being bland. But I may have went too bland. (It's been probably 15 years since I've played TNT).

Since the project is just doing it the way you remember it, I think there's nothing wrong with it being bland, especially if that was how you remembered that map. (Can't be any more cursed than the Doom 1 project that stuck a Cyberdemon in an episode 1 level!)

Could I do map 25?

And here is my version of Countdown to Death (MAP19).

Is "Smells Like Burning Corpse" taken by any chance?

Doesn't seem like it, so it looks like it's yours!

Going to go ahead and do the TNT Title music as well.

EDIT: Yeah, this one was really easy. Drums might not be 100%, but I think I even got the length right at the end. Tempo might be a little different, but it's close enough.

Original for comparison:

I'd like to do the intermission music as well since I already know the piano part (taught it to myself years ago), but I'll wait for confirmation before I start working on it.

I can make AimShootKill, its my favorite tnt midi and i think i know it well

I lied and went ahead and did Legion of the Lost (MIDI for Map31/intermission/ending sequence):

Original for comparison:

This one wasn't so hard - I didn't get the strings right now that I'm comparing them, and my tempo's just a tiny bit off I think, but most people wouldn't notice. Everything else is surprisingly close. (Putting my experience teaching university aural skills classes to work.)

I won't grab any more music unless it gets close to the deadline and there are still some manageable ones that are unclaimed. I might grab a map here in a bit, we'll see!

Epic, thanks. Got the guitar part done, now it's the bass and drums remaining.

Finally, MAP02 from memory is finished.

Had absolutely no idea how to make the window opening and the flat bleeding water, so I had to come up with something else.

Progress on Map10 is going smoothly. Got the first area almost finished up.

I'll sign up for one more: Map15, Dead Zone.

I'm going to withdraw from this one. I don't remember enough to even do a really bad imitation. I did a quick run through and I don't understand the progression.

I don't think there's anything left in the list of unclaimed maps that I can do. Map11 was basically the only one left that I had some memory of.

I have finally finished my recreation of E4M4: Unruly Evil.E4M4FM.zip Here it is.

Here's a WIP of MAP14, about 50% completed. Texturing is a bitch, and so far if I don't remember a certain detail, I try to give it as much personal flair as I can. Most accurate room by far are the two crusher rooms after the starting area, I'm proud of those!

I'll be honest, at first I couldn't understand the point nor the appeal in these recreation from memory projects. But now as I was contemplating, whether I should give it a try (even with a MAP32 that's super close to my heart) I realized it's nowehere, nowhere near as easy as it sounds. And I mean, as long as people provide their own twists, their own way, it can actually become something enjoyable.

Godspeed!

the gateway up ahead looks real god damn familiar it smells familliar too like burnt feceses you didn't like the place before and you don't plan on changing the more you seethe the bigger your hate grows gripping your gun you get a wide smurk on your face your about to take some names

pls use my memory text

Can I claim MAP13?

Done, this midi was easy and short to do.

I'll take MAP15, but I warn you: it's going to be really cursed.

I've been watching this thread for the past week or so & I think I'll dip my toes into this project :)

I'll take map 24 since its small simple map to recreate even though I vaguely remember it besides the outdoor section 🙃

I claimed that one already. I don’t think he updated the OP yet.

Fuck me. Well if OP isn't gonna go though the effort to update this, neither am I. Peace out, and good luck y'all.

Dibs on MAP29.

MAP15 is coming along nicely, for a value of "nicely." I'm pretty sure I'm missing a fair number of those useless little "open up this door to get into this otherwise equally accessible alcove" secrets, but I've already used my allotted playthroughs of the map just focusing on that damn nukage room and some enemy placements, not to mention figuring out what all those dumb switches do.

It also doesn't look particularly pretty, but I think that adds to the charm. Do you know how hard it is getting circular sector shapes to overlap nicely even when you're not trying to do it from memory?

MAP15 is done.

I missed a few secrets, layout's a little wonky, light levels aren't always close to accurate, textures are wrong, monsters are in the wrong spot, the Deathmatch spawning areas are all weird and compressed... but it's a fully playable map made from memory. Not bad considering my first playthrough was just flipping switches over and over again until I figured out what they did, and my second playthrough was trying to figure out which enemies were multiplayer only (I couldn't remember, sadly).

I missed it somehow, the post is now updated.

ooh I like these wads. No one has taken deepest reaches yet? Remaking that map actually sounds like fun since its so... confusing in layout? can i reserve this actually lol I think I'm ready to rack my brain for one of these and screw it all up

@Engired Hey so, I'm sadly gonna have to quit the community project.

I haven't really been having that much fun, and I don't think I can have the time to finish recreating the map. Would appreciate it if you would remove me from the map05 slot.

I'll take a composition slot for Into the Beast's Belly...and what the hell, I'll take MAP14, why not. If I get swamped in other things I can pass it off to another mapper.

Better not mess up my fav track >:(
