Here is a preview of a large map I am working on. Moreover, I have recolored 1,291 sprite frames, to change the color of the xenomorph's blood from green to yellow-ish.

Sh*t... just how much time did you spend on this?

Overall - awesome, map looks really promising! Please keep us informed if you can, KK!

Reminds me a bit of your previous map, Starship Konrad. Was it used as base?

Took me a few days to fully re-color the blood. The map itself didn't take that long, but its far from finished; it will be 10x bigger.

It will be a e1m1, e2m1, e3m1, and e4m1 replacement. Each episode replaced for Ultimate Doom will feature this same large sprawling map, with different item and enemy layouts, as well as different starting positions. I will name each episode replacement Scenario A, - Scenario D.

Keep in mind, the enemy and item placements are already random, within and of themselves. The placement of the decorate item will be what is different between the senarios. Thus, the layout will be extremely unpredictable. So one scenario might have a section with a wandering Predator, or perhaps a squad of combat droids defending an area. Moreover, not only will keys be placed in different areas, but the contents of what they hide behind the doors will be totally random. Further, the clutter (i.e. box, cones, floor lamps, hand-trucks) spawn from a "spring", in random directions.

Nope, I am building this one up from scratch. I want it to be a sprawling labyrinth of a level; sort of like a Sci-fi futuristic version of the Winchester House.

To enhance the experience, this mod is best played with Dark Doom and almost no music, as well as at night in when it's pitch black and no lights are on. :)

One thing though, can you make the music for the mod optional so I can play with the original levels' music?

Here are the new primary attack frames for the xenomorphs. They will do right and left slashes with their claws. I will also create other attack frames, such as a lounging tounge-attack, and a tail attack.

The official map set will have its own dark sector lighting. The next file I will release will not be intended as a gameplay enhancment mod. Rather, the way I have it set up, is that it will only work with the first doom. There will be only one main level, with some periphery levels that you can travel back and forth from. It will play sort of like a massive Hexen level. Nevertheless, I will always keep the beta of 8.0 around, and will make the new stuff into a gameplay mod.

I meant can I play the music of the original levels of a WAD instead of the Aliens music. Also, I run out of ammo very quickly and given that the average map has very few synthetics or supplies, and the lack of a melee weapon, I am basically defenseless even if I find just one mag or shell.

Hey KK, if you still want to add headshots or other hitboxes system at some point, but don't want to mess up with Brutal Doom stuff, why don't you check this thread? You'll find it most amusing.

This video demonstrates the latest editions to the mod. Notably, the spawning layout has been drastically changed to take advantage of the species-faction system within the game. Now randomly groups of different species will spawn in packs; in the xenomorph's case, its hordes. Further, I have improved upon the existing faction system so that enemies will not kill each other off screen at the beginning of the level. I have written it so the marine allies can still spawn as friendly, but not disturb the other monsters, without them seeing the player first.

EDIT: The new sprites have not been added yet. The ones in the video are still the older xenomorph sprites but with the blood recolor.
