While looking for further music ideas for your project, I also always thought that E1M8 of 2002 A Doom Odyssey sounds very Piratish...



Of course most of the music from "Eternal Doom" especially map 30 also reminded me of Pirates...

I can try, what source port (and version) were you using? I got to find the errors first...

I think that with Scroll_textures, Translucent_Line and 446 3d sectors maybe there can be a presentable whirlpool in Doom. But that´s a good idea.

Really good so far. Nice to see it's progressing and each level thus far has a lot of attention to detail. Those hand drawn sprites are really well done. What software do you use to make them? Mspaint?

Thanks guys :wink:

Yes, I use Paint.NET to edit those, but I can´t really draw, I basically copy and paste stuff. For exemple, the imp´s hat is taken directly from Lee Chuck himself. Even the eyepatches are from Jubei (Samurai Showdown). I only draw minor things like beards, bandanas and tatoos (and those where quite hard for me).

I played through the five maps. Missed one of the seven secrets in Treasure Cove map; but maxed everything else. :)

There are a few problems with repeatable (or non-repeatable) linedefs. For example, some of the blocking lines that tell "maybe I can jump in that bottomless hole later" stop being blocking after telling their message once, so that you can jump down afterwards. But the others do not?

Same map, there's also the wooden section that lowers as you cross it.Then you climb up the tunnel and you find a switch that can raise it back. But if you activate that switch again, it keeps climbing up. It'd be better if activating the switch again would alternate between raising and lowering.

Thanks for the feedback, I fixed the bridge raising buttom, it should not be a repeateble action. Although I agree that is nicer to alternate between raising and lowering, I don´t know how to do this with only 1 bottom.

About the blocking lines, I tried to simulate what you pointed, but I simply cannot jump into that hole, no matter what I do. All linedefs were marked as "blackplayers", so it shoudn´t happen. I flipped them all to face the player, maybe it was that?

The weapons in here look really great, this could be an interesting theme for deathmatch as well. Also, "Arch", are you Arch129 by chance?

With one button? A script.

Code: Select all

Script Whatever
{
    if (GetSectorFloorZ(tag, 0, 0) == raisedheight)
    {
        Floor_LowerByValue(tag, otherparams);
    }
    else if (GetSectorFloorZ(tag, 0, 0) == loweredheight)
    {
        Floor_RaiseByValue(tag, otherparams);
    }
}

Replace the various parameters as appropriate to the map.

Re: [WIP GZDoom] Pirate Doom! - 06 maps now

Post by Arch »

Thanks!!!

I finished another version, with one more gun, monster and map.
It´s called "Circus!" and it´s all about crazy gameplay, "tricks and traps" style.
Designed to be played in sequence but also playable from pistol start, as all the other maps.

Download here:

And a video full of spoilers:
Spoiler:
EDIT: uploaded download link with version 0.61, has some new light effects and minor graphical changes.
