This round is closed. I'm thinking we might just drop the contest pretense at this point (since practically nobody contributed) and start a new round with a new song today. I've got something interesting lined up and everything. Will probably post when I get up tomorrow.

Tempted by this...I need to get back into Doom again- any rules applied to the challange apart from using the set music piece?
What about custom resources such as textures, maybe a custom sky...that kinda stuff

Anything goes. Even though it was hardly finished, take a look at my WIP level for an idea. Custom sky, custom textures, custom objects... The only thing I'd say no to I think is custom monsters/weapons/pickups/etc., mostly because I'd like to see maps that can be played by anyone with anything else loaded alongside it. Anyhow, gonna upload the new song for this round and update the first post to reflect the new nature of this challenge.

I approve- I'll probably stick with Doom in Hexen format too in that case~

Whoops, I should have clarified: I updated the OP with the new MIDI for this round as well as an official rules blurb.

Btw, the music is always gonna be a MIDI, or can it change to other files like mp3, ogg, etc...? :?:

I doubt very highly that it's ever going to be any sort of PCM music due to the sheer fact that it's generally going to be a couple megs, which by itself is larger than many map packs are. There is the possibility for music modules (e.g. .MOD, .IT, .S3M, .XM, etc.) though, or maybe even some console stuff. Who knows?

I thought that your doors were going to be sliding doors. The texture has confused me.

Ok guys, I have just finished my map. A bit small and with a decent level of detailing (But it can be done much better and I dont have too much time to add all the detail that I want :( )

Btw, do you always gonna be the guy that upload the new music or does it changes to the winner of each round?
