Hi, everyone, my name is RUNSABER & I am a mapper for the 3DGE source port engine. Most notably, a GZDoom mapper from 2008 after playing a good playthrough of UTNT that spawned my mapping spree.
I have a few project topics for one of the files included in this topic. The main purpose for this thread is to serve as a place for people to get ahold of the files I neglected. I lost inspiration, willpower and desire to continue working on these projects as I am a full-time illustrator and graphic artist in my real life. Mapping for Doom is fun, but modding takes precious time that could be spent creating new sketches, inked illustrations, vice versa. So now, you have the chance to play my interpretations of the Doom world through 3DGE.
Up first is one of my Boom-compatible maps, ZEAL. Originally designed for Boom and vanilla gameplay, I stuck with a teal blue and gray consistent style to create a virtual space station.. in space! April 20, 2015 was the creation time and should have been completed that following month, yet another project took over and it collected many dusts on my hard drive. Time went along, the map was completed yet neither of the line tags or monsters fully occupy the map. As a result, a desolate template lays barren and is hungry for monster occupation. I leave this .wad file for anyone who would like to fill up a medium-sized boom map for their enjoyment. Please... please credit me as the author of this map. I would love for the Doom community to tear it up as they please but would hate to see my work get stolen and frankened with little or no regard to the work I've put in to this universe.
Next, we have the gameplay modification 3DGE 64. As you know, this is a Doom 64 version coded for the 3DGE port. There are some notable differences and slight variations to the original, but as close as I could get it to the predecessor. This too, was a project ambitiously thought up to have its own maps and story. As a result, and due to negligence I have ripped the maps from the .wad and left only the gameplay modification as a backbone for anyone wanting to play Doom ala 64 style on the port. It recently received cosmetic goodies. Credit me for putting it together, though always credit Midway and the users who put time into making these resources available
Last but not least.. and I would hate to see this go to waste. Astral Pathfinder. The would-be de facto entry for the 3DGE series as a standalone modification complemented with maps and as a collaborative effort between the amazing Chronoteeth & I. This mod was birthed from Chrono dropping a gun mod called QUACK which was inspired by the Quake series. I took the spear and drove it into a series of levels ranging from floating space shuttles, installations, frozen planets, hellish canyons and finally into the Void of All That Is Not itself. After receiving many reiterations, redesigns, coupled with computer crashes and glitchy Doom Builder map overwrites, I lost complete desire to continue working on this would-be masterpiece. Originally a 7-Map megawad, now lies only a 3-map adventure from start to finish with little visual hiccups here and there. If you wish to play it, you are free to do so. It contains 3 new levels, 3 end-level bosses, & some quests left over from when I wanted to incorporate more exploration.
As per mention, if you want the best experience out of these games, try using 3DGE 2.0.2 as your port version of choice. The newer test versions are far better optimizes yet create many visual problems based on changes made within the hood. It is to your discretion to see which works best for you. I'm dumping these files because I want to move on with my life. Move on to other ideas and other projects yet its hard to do that when unfinished works lie in your folders. I hope you enjoy playing as I did making them with many hours of sleep lost and traded for someone's fun ^_^ You are free to use these works to learn DDF and RTS scripting if you wish to know more about 3dge, but you do not have the permission to upload these files to /idgames, or any other site or network without my permission. A little advice to modders/mappers.. Please start small. Very small. Start with vanilla styled mapping. Or Boom perhaps, but never big and ambitious with modifications as it can drain your morale and will to continue investing precious time into your projects. Do not start out with megawads. I've mapped for Boom since 2010 yet never released any projects due to crashes and computer upgrades. In the meantime, you can expect me to chime in on other projects as I play a crap ton of QZDoom, & Hideous Destructor. I may create 3DGE-ism maps utilizing 3D floors here and there to show the limits, but it will be a long while before I make an ambitious project ever again. IF ever as I'm getting older and want to focus more on my artwork. Until then, happy dooming, and cheers to all of you during the holiday season ^_^
