Box Doom - Community Project [Slots Filled]

And here's the progress so far. If your map has been sent but it's not in these screenshots, tag me and send it again, if you can. From my count, we're only missing 14 boxes, and 7 are above and I just don't know which ones they are.

Maybe it's me being blind, but I can't find either of two maps I submitted.

Techno Rumble is Box 57 and Blood magic is an extra box, right? We already have a box 57 in place made by @stochastic. Would you be okay with your box being realocated to another slot if necessary?

I've identified this one to be box61. I'll tag the mappers of the missing boxes soon.

Yes, I don't really care what slot it is.

Your box 57 became box 73, then, since @taufan99 dropped that slot.

These are the boxes that are still missing. I'm pinging mappers so they can resend them to me.

I'm sure some of these boxes are the ones that I posted a screenshot of earlier. Caco king is most definitely the pink room with a caco on the throne, for example. Out of these, I think @SmolGhost is the only one unlikely to reply, as the last time he visited the forum was in December 10th, 2023. If his boxes are not found, I'll open up that slot for the extra boxes I already have, and if there are still empty slots, I'll open them to other mappers, even those who have reached the 3 map quota. 

Additionally, a big problem of this project was the height variation of the door sectors. a box that starts at 0 units and goes to 128 units tall for the exit door means an offset of 128 pixels for all subsequent boxes. I might have to work closely with some mappers later to fix their boxes in the final version instead of just copy and pasting. 

@DynamiteKaitorn, this is your Box07, right? There is another one in its place here made by @Grizzly Old B. Would you be okay with it changing spots? If not, I think we could move Grizzly's box instead. 

@DoomGappy Here, it got somewhat buried

Here's my submission, simply titled box. It doesn't matter what slot you put it in. 512x512, all difficulties implemented, uses OTEX.

Oh, I have this one. Didn't know the numbering was optional. I'll see if it fits in there. Thanks.

I managed to track most of these down and can post them here, if you want.
Out of all of these I didnt manage to find the ones by moustachio and lizardcommando, but Ill keep searching in case this will be needed.

Edit: it appears that moustachio and lizardcommando have not submitted a box. In Moustachio's last post he said that he "wants to wait it out until random figures out the organizing"

Oh. I hope they see the messages soon. We have almost everything at least lined up for the final wad.

Here are the boxes, files have authors' names to avoid confusion

You might notice that smalghost's file is massive. I checked in Slade, it is because e.wad (one of the maps) has the entirety of otex (and some more textures apparently outside of otex) inside of it.

Here's my box: moustachio-box-doom.wad

Went for 384x384 with 5 enemies.

I think that accounts for all the boxes. Now I just have to place them and adjust the height offsets, and reach out to individual mappers if anything breaks. Here is our progress so far, though some of it is broken and it can't be beaten without a few noclips. Just so that people can take a look at how it's tying together.

Can confirm 1.2 should be latest version if my memory is correct

@Jakub Majewski, your box 18 has more than 10 tags. Since I'd asked you before tocomply to the format but it won't be possible, can I use tags 900 to 914 and make it a secret box?

Thanks! I'll add them soon.

Yo, that's actually my box. I'm okay with it being shuffled around if need be.

@DoomGappy Do any of the maps before Box27 have a BFG in them?

I ask because the whole point of my Box is to trick the player into thinking they're going to get a BFG but instead they just get monster spawned, so the player already having a BFG when entering the room would make that moment way less potent

Sorry, I had to bow out of this project. I wasn't able to make something for it.

No, I'm pretty sure they don't. Though that's a devilish idea, making the player try to get that thing ahead of time. There will be probably some tweaking to ammo and pickups, but nothing too major.

Don't worry, we have some extra boxes available. Everything will be fine.

Okay, I've just opened it and it deserves to be 07. If there is a duplicate, it will be shufled around.

Surely nothing good. Who could want such a thing?

Jokes aside, props for actually taking the reins of the project - I can't imagine it being easy, so best of luck!

There seems to be some misunderstanding. I didn't make box 07. My boxes were 62, 63, and 11. Plus the “bonus boxes” xx and xy (for which still has to be decided if and how they can be used in the project.)

Thanks, man. I want to see it completed just as much as everybody else. It was the first project I ever sent maps to.

Alright, I've received your box 11 and it sits close to the one that's on the map. We'll see what happens. Time to ask again on the thread. Who made this box?

Retextured it a bit for testing purposes, if the mapper appears I'll comply with whatever texturing he chooses.

New version up so that you can check your boxes. Some notes:

- Had to do some retexturing in some parts due to the grid. Unfortunately, we didn't predict the boxes shifting around so much. If you don't like a paticular retexturing, send me a DM. 
- Tried to make the map more navigable by having doors be openable from both sides, or be triggered open stay after the player reaches a certain point. 
- Removed Box 11 because both submissions of it have problems and need to be reworked. Will reach out to mappers soon. 
- Map is navigable until map 31, which is a bit buggy due to the height offsetting. @macro, I will probably need you to manually edit this Box later, so be aware. Both of your submissions are amazing, though. 
- Removed the red key and red key door from @taufan99's map, and reworked the way the Revenant is hidden. Tell me if you like the idea or not!
- Replaced the red bars in one of the player`s boxes. I think it's box eight but it appears in fourth. I may have made a mistake. 
- Used a little texture under doors to represent a change of box. Boxes from the same author or boxes that don't have doors between them don't use it.
- I've been doing mostly no monster runs to check for mechanics for now. Playing and rebalancing will come later. Making progression flow will be a challenge, so help is appreciated.
- Most of the boxes are already inside the file but need to be realocated to fit better.
- There will be some corridors. We will texture them and create cool ambiance to give this wad an "other worldly" feeling. Stay tuned!


That is all for now. Let's do this!

Update stuff

Hey, I have a certain question. Do y'all plan on doing a TITLESCREEN and CREDIT images for this wad? Im asking because I have a certain idea in mind for it, but if y'all already settled your mind on it, I simply wont do it.

We haven't discussed it yet, it would be good to hear your idea. Always nice to have cool custom things!
