Quill Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) LOG ENTRY: UACSSP-023 I found this weird file on a cardboard PDA next to a dead guy with a crate for a head. Apparently it's an MBF21 22 map WAD involving crates? Whatever the hell those are. I heard that Mr. Crate Head and his team's expedition through Crate Hell took 11 months until his unfortunate demise. I've left a download link below if you want to check it out. Spoiler Introducing... the UAC Storage Surplus Project! (UACSSP for short) We invite you (the Doom community) to help us do something with these satan-forsaken things! (make some maps themed around crates) The year is 2123. The UAC accidentally added 20 zeroes to its order of 1 crate. You are hired to vanquish the menace of the ludicrous amount of crates.

Credits are included inside the package. ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW (community project info) This project is all about Crates! Crates are everywhere. Try to think of creative uses! No limits! You can make as many maps as you want. How long and how big doesn't matter. We needed to make use of these crates anyway. Not just mazes! Any type of map is accepted! Slaughter, puzzle, exploration, you name it! Now with more functionality! This community project is aimed towards MBF21, which also includes UMAPINFO. Alongside that, every monster is now equipped with A_BossDeath! Deadline: February 28th March 20th, 2023. After the deadline comes, we will try to think of a map order. OSHA REGULATIONS (project guidelines) Only use allowed textures. Map title should be a pun related to crates, boxes, or warehouses. Map should support all skill levels, co-op, and deathmatch. Good luck, and have fun!

iddq_tea Posted December 31, 2022 From: David Robbins Subject: Would you Believe - crates? Date: 11-12-2145 Marcus, Those morons at Doomworld have done it again. I requisitioned a crate of chainsaws. What we got were several crates of crates and no chainsaws at all. What the hell were they thinking? Crates serve no purpose on Mars! I'm sending these back as soon as I get the time. Meanwhile, I would appreciate it if you could lodge another complaint with Doomworld and expedite my chainsaws when they do arrive. David Robbins Industrial Complex 14 Share this post Link to post

Cacodemon187 Posted January 1, 2023 I'm interested! Could you add lights to the allowed textures (lite3, lite5 and liteblu)? Just asking, I can just use the lamp decorations if not. 1 Share this post Link to post

horselessheadsman Posted January 1, 2023 The resource WAD credit list should probably have 3D Realms added, since those two crate mid-textures I made was just sticking part of a 'blown-open-hole' texture from Duke Nukem 3D on Doom crate textures. 0 Share this post Link to post

suzerduzer Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) For texturing our maps, how strict to the "crate" theme should we be? Like if I was able to make a wall that didn't look like the side of a crate using the allowed textures pool would that be fine? Here's an example of what I mean. 2 Share this post Link to post
