[Community Project] Second Mix! Combine your favorite classic maps! (slots claimed)

 

Hello!

 

This is a community project is very similar in concept to fellow community project Amalgoom. Take two commercial Doom maps and use ideas from both to create a brand new one! While Amalgoom had map makers choose from pre-set Doom1/2 map combinations, Second Mix lets YOU decide what two maps to mix! The only catch is your chosen maps must be from two different Doom games (IWADs). For example, mixing MAP02 and MAP07 from Plutonia is not allowed. But MAP02 from Plutonia and MAP07 from TNT: Evilution is fine! Use your Doom wisdom and creativity to decide which two maps will blend together best! Alternatively, if you're feeling spicy, use a random number generator to decide for you!

 

The final product will be a classic limit-removing 32 map megawad. Why no Boom/MBF? As I have experienced with other classic themed CP's, Boom features encourage some mappers to go a little too experimental, which can go against the theme of the project.

 

 

 

Your goal is to create a new map using elements from your two chosen maps. What counts as map elements? Room layouts, aesthetics, traps, you name it. The idea is to not simply copy the layout of either map, but to create a brand new map with the "DNA" of both of your chosen maps. See the MAP01 of this project for an example. Get those creative juices flowing!

 

The only other restriction is you cannot use monsters that do not appear in either of your chosen maps. Weapons, items and textures are fine to be added in as you please (though you will most likely use textures that appear in both maps). The monster selection adds a lot of identity to maps after all.

 

What maps are allowed? You can choose maps from the following Doom games:

 

• Ultimate Doom (any of the 4 episodes)
• Doom 2
• TNT: Evilution
• The Plutonia Experiment

 

The two secret maps have exceptions. See the list below for details!

 

To help you create your map, open two copies of Doom Builder. Start your new map in one, and open your one of your selected maps in the other. Select all the map geometry and copy them into your new map somewhere. Do the same for your other map choice. With both maps on hand you can easily enter 3d mode to refresh your memory on both maps! I would also advise removing all the line special tags and sector tags so they don't interfere with testing your own map. See the screenshot below for an example of how I was editing my map:

 

 

 

Choose two different maps from either Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, TNT or Plutonia. Do not choose two maps from the same game! Do both maps have enough interesting things about them to create a new map? I must be able to visibly see the influences from both chosen maps. I've been playing Doom for almost 30 years, don't worry. If they're there, I will notice them!

 

• Map format: Limit-Removing (No Boom specials!)
• Target source port: DSDA Complevel 2.
• Please allow use difficulty settings with monster/item placements. If you don't I may roughly add them myself.
• Use this Resource pack for extra textures from TNT, Plutonia etc
• Your map must use some elements from both of your selected maps (see above for more info). I will judge whether your map meets this criteria.
• Your sky texture must be defined in UMAPINFO (and must be from either one of your map choices). If you don't provide one I will choose a sky.
• Do not use monsters not found in either of your choices.
• If you choose a map with an Icon of Sin fight, the Icon of Sin boss itself cannot be used (except for map30)!
• If you choose a slot with a secret exit, you must provide a secret exit.
• You may collaborate with others. Please let me know when this is decided and who you are collaborating with.
• It should go without saying, but *try* to make a good map. Even if you think both of your map choices are terrible maps, strive to make a good level!
• Choose any music you like, but please provide who made it and where you got it from so they can be properly credited.
• If your map is extreme low quality or shows a lack of effort, it may be rejected.

 

 

• Check the list below to find an open slot! Check if the slot has any special requirements too.
• Only one slot can be claimed (may change later if I'm struggling to complete a full 32 map set).
• Post in the thread that you wish to claim a slot. Specify the slot you desire and which two maps you have chosen to blend.
• Maps that are already being blended may be rejected (we don't want 5 copies of Plutonia's "Hunted"). I will allow exceptions if problems arise.
• If I accept your slot, I will allow 3 weeks to show visible progress. You will lose your slot if nothing is shown after I send you a reminder.
• Use the template below to post and claim a slot:

I will reply to you if your claim is accepted. Depending on the difficulty and size of your map, I may change which slot it takes up at a later time. Good luck!

Please use this thread to discuss the project and show your progress. This is my first attempt at a CP (outside of non-vanilla Doom projects), hope I didn't miss anything important. Have fun and don't be afraid to share your WIP map for feedback :)

 

 

Resource Pack, contains all textures from required Doom IWADs.
