Was a lot of fun giving you some pointers, and helping you test during the mapping process. Looking forward to getting a couple games in this soon! I encourage you to make more - a little vanilla textures DM pack would be a good time. :) 3 Share this post Link to post

Arrowhead Posted June 3 (edited) I did a 4th round of random deathmatch mapping! By some insane stroke of luck, I rolled the exact same texture pack I last used (5th Episode Textures) from the 40 I had added to the randomizer! Not sure what the odds of that are. Regardless, I re-rolled the randomizer, and got GothicDM1+2Tex! This is a pack that I've used before, so this was a nice easy session. The map took me 3.5 hours to complete this time. Random Doom2 Deathmatch Mapping (STREAM 4): MAP04: Deathly Domain: So yeah, was a fun time! I'm gonna develop some kind of a semi-consistent streaming schedule, and begin streaming on Twitch instead of YT. I'll announce on my DW status page when I'm doing that - I'll be streaming tomorrow again, most likely. So far, I've been able to complete 4/4 DM maps from beginning to end on stream, so off to a good start! Sorry for spamming this thread so much recently, I've just been really productive! :D 16 Share this post Link to post
Treehouseminis Posted June 3 I think the average light level is 128 for this map. Idk how to make a normal map anymore. It's either super dark or super colorful haha. 14 Share this post Link to post
Matt Eldrydge Posted June 3 Some attempts at trying to evoke Sunder on a smaller scale. Still got over 15k sidedefs to go through but I think this is shaping up nicely. 23 Share this post Link to post

Arrowhead Posted June 4 (edited) I did a 5th round of random deathmatch mapping - this time on Twitch! It went a lot better there than YT. I rolled the randomizer at the start of the stream, and got FoxTex this time! This too is a pack that I've used before, so this was a nice easy session also. The map took me 3.5 hours to complete this time. Random Doom2 Deathmatch Mapping (STREAM 5): MAP05 - 'Destiny: Dusk': I went w/ a heckbase theme in this one - I'm still having trouble w/ this texture pack in Zandronum, so I took these shots in GZ. Anyway, was a lot of fun! Excited to see what texture pack I'll get next - there's some really obscure ones in my randomizer! :D 13 Share this post Link to post

DRON12261 Posted June 5 I finally got it. A fully working Unmaker from Doom 64 in the Eternity Engine. Which can also be upgraded by collecting demon keys. The firing mechanics are slightly different and slightly randomized (port limitations), but the way it works is roughly the same. Ammo is not spent for test reasons, it is very easy to fix. 9 Share this post Link to post

Arrowhead Posted June 5 I did my 6th round of random deathmatch mapping on Twitch! I rolled the randomizer at the start of the stream, and got 'Vanilla Doom 2'! The map only took me 3 hours to complete from beginning to end, this time. Partly because I'm so familiar w/ the pack's resources, of course. Random Doom2 Deathmatch Mapping (STREAM 6): MAP06 - 'Deep Heck': I'm really hoping I get one of the more obscure texture packs from the randomizer next time - I've been getting a few that I've been familiar w/ in a row now! List of packs used in streams so far: Spoiler 1) Otex1.1 2) AquaTex 3) 5th Episode Textures 4) GothicDM1+2Tex 5) FoxTex 6) Vanilla Doom 2 Video of stream itself is available here - Twitch deletes streams very quickly - all my streams are being exported to YT also, to preserve them better: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2164482714 The streams have been going well so far - I've been able to complete my map each time w/ no issues. :D 9 Share this post Link to post

Arrowhead Posted June 8 I did my 7th round of random deathmatch mapping on Twitch! I rolled the randomizer at the start of the stream, and this time I got 'Too Much Brown'! The map took me 3.5 hours to complete from beginning to end, this time.It's really an underrated texture pack - it's amazing for making a nukage base of some kind - which is exactly what I made this time around! Great textures, glad I was able to use them. Here are some screenshots from tonight's session!

The VOD of this map can be viewed here: https://www.twitch.tv/arrowheadd2dm So yeah, a lot of fun making this one! My first 6+ hour stream is tomorrow, so I'm planning on trying to get two maps done in one sitting - but we'll see how that goes! :D 13 Share this post Link to post

Arrowhead Posted June 9 I just finished my 8th round of random deathmatch mapping! I decided to make 2 maps in 1 sitting today. The entire session took me 8 hours, 40 minutes. The randomizer selected 'NMN Corp. Tex 2', and 'Darkbase' for the two texture packs. NMN Corp. Tex 2 was a lot of fun to work w, and was a fully sized texture pack, unlike Darkbase - which was from 1998, made by a 15 year-old, and only had 20 total textures and flats. Needless to say, the latter map was much more difficult. All things considered, Darkbase textures are actually quite nice - I was pleased w/ them, just wish there was more! I supplemented it w/ Doom 2 textures, limiting myself to only 5 textures from the original game. It was a lot of fun having to work w/ such a restriction! Anyway, here are screenshots from both:Random Doom2 Deathmatch Mapping (STREAM 8): MAP08: Vertical Violence: Random Doom2 Deathmatch Mapping (STREAM 8): MAP09: Grim Chambers: List of packs used in streams so far: Spoiler 1) Otex1.1 2) AquaTex 3) 5th Episode Textures 4) GothicDM1+2Tex 5) FoxTex 6) Vanilla Doom 2 7) Too Much Brown 8) NMN Corp. Tex 2 / Darkbase The VOD of these maps being made is available here: https://www.twitch.tv/arrowheadd2dm/videos My first 'long' stream went well! I'm very glad! My goal in this whole streaming thing right now, is to construct an entire 32 map megaWAD, and record every second of it - so far so good, I'm like a third of the way through, and it's only been a week! Will be my 6th DM megaWAD! :D 14 Share this post Link to post

Lizardcommando Posted June 10 I started working on the 4th map in my Jungle mapset. It's a mountain base that's hidden deep in the jungles. I have no idea how big this map is going to be but I'm most likely going to incorporate some of the same concepts I had from my MAYhem 2022 Memento Moron map along with a few other stuff from my recent maps. I also had made a force-field at the start of the level, but I still have no idea how to create a proper one. Shooting the switch works, but I can still walk through it even before deactivating it. 16 Share this post Link to post
Arrowhead Posted June 11 Finished my 9th round of random deathmatch mapping! The randomizer selected 'Silver Textures', and I paired this w/ the silver / grey textures from stock Doom 2. This was a bit challenging, but I think the map turned out well. It ended up being a nice combo in the end. Once I started pairing the new lights available in the silver pack w/ some sector lighting, things started coming together well!

Random Doom2 Deathmatch Mapping (STREAM 9): MAP10: Silver Salvo: There's some really strong contrast to some of these, enhanced by the lighting. It's not completely cartoony, but it's definitely unique, and I'm really liking how much the matte stuff pops against the metallics. 3 Share this post Link to post
