MAP30 (Doom 2 final boss map) replacement mod

About:
======

I don't like Doom 2's Final Boss - the Icon Of Sin - or any final map that use it as a final boss, like OBLIGE-generated mappacks. Its not a direct fight like the rest of the game is. I want the "shoot at it until it dies" cyberdemon battle.

This MAP30 replacement mod does exactly this.

Its a short map.
You assault a reactor room to hit the exit button.
You get tons of ammo, armor, backpacks, health and a BFG.
Between you and the exit are 40 cyberdemons.
There is enough room to move around and the cyberdemons are staggered in 3 stages.
First section is a light battle against 5 cyberdemons.
Second section is an intense assault with about 25 cyberdemons.
Final stretch is a push to the reactor room, while being bombarded by the rest 10 cyberdemons.

Overall its a fun finishing map of nonstop powerfest of BFG blasts and explosions, not meant as a hard challenge. Its meant as a satisfying and simple campaign ender. I created this map by handpicking the most suitable map generated by OBLIGE 5.10(WIP). It took me about 140 maps before I found this one, which I then edited in Doom Builder with new textures, lighting, geometry and extra things.

Don't expect much though, its just quick and simple solution. I'm sharing it because I would have wanted to see this type of a map replacement mod when I started making it.


Install:
========

Make sure you load this AFTER whatever mappack you use. This mod works as an addon that will replace whatever MAP30 a mappack/default game contains.

I install mods by autoloading them via gzdoom-username.ini
