[Community Sequel] [FINISHED] 40 Monsters Challenge

[9Rifleman]

So this is my idea, mostly finished second chamber . This map is basically slowly becoming my Tricks and Traps.

---

I was contemplating adding more challenge to the trap:

1) Either make it go 'fire nova' in 8 directions when it is being deactivated as a last attempt to kill you.
2) Or, to deactivate it, you'd actually have to pick up the key, probably having to sacrifice some health, but you'd get a soulsphere as a reward for surviving.

But then it seemed a bit too much.

Tested some music, too. Not implemented yet, but I think I have a good candidate

EDIT: Got the mirror maze mostly done, a little spoiler. Also, the music is in and I think it fits perfectly.

---

EDIT2: This is an actual spoiler, mostly finished 'ritual'.

firetrap etc...



if crossing line fireball comes, if hit then only next time it comes else it continues

avoid using crouching

[CBM]

trap count so far

2 fire traps, 2 pits, 2 crushers

So I am nearing completion on 36 and as always, I made a video of the whole thing(SPOILER). Just needs some polishing.

I use FIREBLU as a malevolent magic element with different effects. A lot of red-blue goodness.

I made the music better in 6, but still not ideal. But now it does not exceed size limit.

Bueno. I'll give 36 a shot tomorrow.

@CBM: Not sure if intended, but it looks like veil to me. Cool. Queen's chambers, perhaps?

good guess

kings chamber, queens chamber, spinx:



currently experimenting with linedef portals that will connect rooms in unexpected ways to confuse the player

I have yet to fill all of the pyramids interior, its a lot of work, I have chosen spawn points for 3 monsters so far

Btw your map 36 seems kind of short based on the video?

It isn't long, but then again, I know exactly how to play it, so it seems shorter. Plus I focused more on atmosphere over length

- The text for the Archvile is a tad small for some reason. If you are printing it via HudMessage, it's a good idea to add the flag that logs it to the console as well.
- Should turn off infighting in MAPINFO. The last battle was a tad easy because the Archnotron was preoccupied with shooting the Baron.

Honestly there isn't much to say in terms of criticism. The map is short, looks great, plays great, and feels great. Excellent work, Rifleman.

Thanks for the praise! And to address your feedback:

- I am using HudMessageOnActor, it displays the text 'on actor' and it moves when you move, but yeah, it is a bit too small, since you can't move. I will play around with with the HUD size, that should fix it.
- I was thinking the same thing, so I will.

actual chamber of the king, ancient magic etc
