Have you ever downloaded a mod, and wanted to see all those mad modders implemented features and mechanics to their full extent ?
Yes ?
No ?
Well, I sure did.
That's how Codex Crucible is born.
It features the Main Hall (the starting area), that connects to the Codex Cloister (where you can find multiple groups of all the items, weapons, ammo, power-us.
Inside the Codex Cloister, to the south-west side, there is a portal, that portal leads you to another area; the Arena of Sin where all the demons of Hell will be spawned randomly (and for all eternity) inside the area, you can test how long can you survive, or how much the hellish spawn can endure your modded arsenals slaughter.
Back to the Codex Cloister, to the south-eastern side, there is another portal that will take you to the Spawning Halls, this area features multiple halls, each of those halls will spawn a specific demon when you interact with the hall-respective lion heads.

Version 1.2 (26 November 2019) changelog:
-New area to test your skills (accessible throught the central portal)
-Revamped a lot of geometries, lightnings, effects and 3D floors
-Further items optimization placement, now you should be able to run it with the heaviest mods too
-More pleasing a smooth atmosphere to look and explore
-Changed the MIDI from "Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss" to "Dimmu Borgir - A Succubus in Rapture"
I don't think I will update this map again (unless bugs) because I don't have really nothing in mind to add, but never say never.
The map is for DooM II and GZDoom 3.0+ is recommended, as this map uses scripts, slopes, sector colors,3D, Polysectors and other GZDoom related features.
I used GZDoom Builder to create the map.
If there are bugs or you have ideas, just let me know.
