DUMP Episode 3: BFG Edition [map + weapons released]

[Snarboo]

I like it! Personally, though, the way the firing works is a little weird. While the fire-rate does increase with the altfire, it feels weird to just 'lift up second gun, fire, lower it again'.

Yeah, right now it's not really clear that you can hold down the secondary fire to continuously fire both. I'm looking into how you can fire both weapons using either fire button, or I could make the dual weapons a toggle instead! The latter seems like the best solution.

If I were you, I might set it up so that you can main-fire to shoot one gun (Then mainfire again to shoot the other), while the altfire shoots both guns at once. Or something.

That's another idea!

UPDATE: Now no need for duketex.wad WOO oh and also MAPinfo stuff I should've added in the first release.

Hey, Beed28, i just played your map and it was an unique and nice concept to see (at first i was like wtf). I didn't expect that the map was challenging and sometimes can be a little frustrating if you're not accostumed to the bouncing motion (the cyberdemon room could be one example). Anyway, it was a good map and a it is appreciated to see something different in Doom.

[NeuralStunner]

Fun fact- if you Confuse an archvile the very moment it raises something, that something becomes your FOREVER FRIEND.

Unsure if I should "fix" that or not. (By making the confuse effect force Pain state, thus interrupting whatever the monster was doing. This would also make it more useful in combat perhaps.)

I'm also thinking of doubling the stun time,since it's currently not that useful against anything tougher than an Imp, unless you soften them up first. (The gun currently gives 35000 "points" of stun time, which is reduced by the victim's current HP each tic. This halts a fresh Cyberdemon for almost exactly 1/4 of a second. So a 2x buff still wouldn't be that powerful against big things.)

I should probably also make the altfire unable to trigger projectile lines...

[Zerrer]

Unsure if I should "fix" that or not.

Personally, I wouldn't. It takes exact timing, because the Confuse on an archvile lasts only two or three seconds- not even enough for a second revive. It's a hidden feature that way, if you leave it in.

So, after more or less lurking for close to a decade in the general doom community, I decided to nut up and try to make something. Compared to a lot of stuff I am seeing in this thread so far, it is definitely nothing special, but hopefully it isn't too bad.

Notes: The ideal sky should be Doom 2's SKY2, but being a novice babby, I am unsure how to get it to be that while using the Community Chest 4 textures.
While there is difficulty level balancing, it is almost definitely gonna need some fine tuning. Monster count will also probably need to be worked on. Making this map was me being more experimental with the layout and architecture, so that is also gonna be hit and miss in a lot of places. Asides from adding more detail down the road, the layout though should be set in stone. Feedback on Ammo, Health, and monster placement on the map is very much appreciated, since I don't think I quite got a hang on that yet. Otherwise it is good to go.

One last thing, there was a second map that I was thinking on including too, but that won't be ready until tomorrow. The deadline was already extended once, so if it is too late for the other map then that is fine.

Personally, I wouldn't. It takes exact timing, because the Confuse on an archvile lasts only two or three seconds- not even enough for a second revive. It's a hidden feature that way, if you leave it in.

It's also a bit odd when a monster is right in the middle of attacking you, as they'll finish the animation but not make any attack or sound. I agree that it's probably okay, though.

Also, threw up a small update (BLEAUGH) that fixes barrel damage. (I made it deal 15-30 while I was at it.) Also made a small tweak that might reduce the chance of the "stun the wrong guy when the victim dies" glitch. (Oh, and the "?" could be hard to see under low ceilings, so I moved the sprite down a bit.)

Would just like to remind everyone that I'm open to feedback on my map.

You don't need to specify this, as feedback's open to everyone who participates; honestly it would be kind of bad if you weren't open to feedback.

Also, Thyrork, in the event you test everything on UV, I would like to apologize in advance for the mess that is going to be playing through my map.

So I've kind of wanted to get into mapping for a while, and figured I might as well jump in now. Thanks for doing DUMP! Anyways, this is my first actual attempt at modding, and I learned a lot about Doom Builder in the process. It turned out much better than I thought, I hope you enjoy it too!

I got the third one sort of ready, for better or worse.

"Engaging Electronic Hell in 3, 2, 1..."

Excuse the small signs of rushing. Kinda wanted to do it for Dump 3, since I had the inch I could finish it by time. Some areas might look bit lackluster than others, and difficulty might be pretty silly at some point ( Sunlusty, even ). Especially the sludge-section and finale might be rather killy.
No difficulty-settings, either. Probably should be somewhere really far or heavily nerfed.

And previous two for sake of it:

I was just hoping to possibly expedite the process so I can get to refining as soon as possible.

[Zerrer]

Alrighty! Made another (and possibly the last) major update to MountainTemple.wad

Almost called it Mount DOOM, but eh.
Tweaked everything a little bit, turned the magic water bridge into a magic jumppuzzle bridge, threw in some more monsters and more items, and turned the tall 'secret' plateau with the backpack into something prettier.

All in all, lookin' pretty good, I think. Didn't do nearly as much work as I did for DUMP 2, but that's because I had a lot more time then.

[charcola]

There's a lot of work to be done in polishing, but aside from a message script that I need to figure out and room remodeling, the gameplay seems to work.

So no-one has to run back to my first post to get it, here's a version of my map that actually works as intended.
