[Community Project] Doom 2 Minus Doom (development thread)

[Demonic Meatball]

@Walter confetti@Somniac@Bagellio thank you, and to all who have responded to my nitpicks, for changing your maps, even after not touching them in years.

 

@janiform Some links in the OP aren't up to date. I think that's part of the reason @Forgotten Soul's demos desinc for me.

[janiform]

Okay, all the links in the OP should be up to date now! Thanks everyone for the updates.

 

@Anarkzie@PasokonDeaconAny updates? If it's at all possible I'd love to get an initial release candidate for this project out before May, which is Doom 2's 30th anniversary. EDIT: May is definitely not Doom 2's 30th anniversary, but it would still be cool to get a release candidate out soon.

Isn’t Doom 2’s birthday in September ?

[janiform]

Oh wow, that's correct! That makes a lot more sense than releasing the sequel one season after the first game. This is what I get for trusting Google results:

Huh. Where did google get that information ?

 

Anyway, speaking of release candidates, do you have a story in mind ?

I'm still working on it, hopefully not to long.

@Demonic Meatball I'd planned to leave the intermission texts vanilla, since the episode themes are retained. But now I'm wondering if a new story that isn't a sequel to Doom 1 would be more in keeping with the project.

 

@Anarkziethanks for the update!

Back to the quick rundowns, going to Map21 :

     - @Eon Toad MAP13 : - FLOOR0_1 and CEIL1_1 aren't allowed (mainly change for sector 120).

                                      - Needs Coop/DM Starts.

 

I've replaced those textures and double-checked the map. P2-4 starts are there unless I did them wrong.

 

 

[Demonic Meatball]

@Eon Toad Thank you ! Sorry I didn't check correctly for the Coop Starts. It still needs DM starts though.

[Eon Toad]

4 deathmatch starts added

On same link ?

[Eon Toad]

Sorry, should have clarified. Yes. The link is to a folder containing the wad so I can update the contents and the link stays the same.

[NeedHealth]

Went through my entire map fixing small errors. Giving it a day or two before I upload it.

 

@Demonic Meatball did you ever get around to make a d_betwee for this project?

[Demonic Meatball]

@NeedHealth Nah, the music you chose fits well enough.

MAP24 : - The map needs some "fast travel" options, 'cause lemme tell ya, re-doing the whole post blue key path every time I wanna retry the jump to that one secret gets repetitive very quickly. 

                                                    - Sector 947 is tagged as secret, even thoug it doesn't contain anything and I'm pretty sure it is unreachable. 

Okay, I'm super sorry for being late with that.

Here's the bugfix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1l6qSzVBS_UXUSDGR9MOyFrKHw0N_TSkD

Secret sector 947 is leftover from previous version, now not secret
And I added a teleporter pad, if you miss the secret jump, you can drop down a little further to get teleported back up. If that's not good enough solution, let me know and I'll figure out something else.

I'm not yet finished but I'm getting there.

 

 

[Demonic Meatball]

@PasokonDeacon Still with us ?

[janiform]

Sorry for the radio silence, everyone. I've been out of town for most of May. Thanks @Sneezy McGlassFace and @Eon Toad for the updates and many thanks to @Demonic Meatball for keeping this thing going! @Anarkzie and @PasokonDeacon any updates/WIPs would be greatly appreciated!

Still working on mine, sorry for the long wait. It's getting there.

[EPICALLL]

Finally chiming in after a very, very long time...
This shit looks great. Good job, everyone.

[Demonic Meatball]

@EPICALLL have you seen my comments on your map ?

Yes. I found I didn't agree with them. (It's been like a good year, this is a big generalization)

[Demonic Meatball]

@Anarkzie@PasokonDeacon Any updates ?

[janiform]

Sorry for the radio silence, everyone. I've had a lot of real life stuff but will be coming back to this project in July. It would be great to get an RC out in time for Doom 2's birthday.

 

I checked in with @PasokonDeacon and they said they weren't planning to finish their map for this project, so the MAP26 slot is open.

 

[Claire]

I've been looking at the progress of this project for months now, and the last time a slot got open i was going through a mapping Block, but now i think i can do something for it.

Can i take the map 26 slot?

[janiform]

@DankMetal It's yours!
