by asbadagba » Wed Apr 13, 2022 3:49 am changes from regular maximum doom:
- a massive hub map with exits to every maximum doom wad
- sound/sprite replacements were removed for playability with gameplay mods
- exits added to maps that didn't have them
- all textures converted to png and ran through png-opt
- all maps had their reject & blockmap removed for further optimization
but do note: the only thing modern here is the presentation, the maps themselves are mostly the same ones from 1994/95.
the hub has a readme area for further info.
some of the wads didn't make it, here they are and why
- Code: Select all • Expand view
doom 1:
goregsnd.wad is just sound replacements
rmh19.wad has the exact same maps as rmh.wad but different demos
doom 2 (so far):
beav-but.wad is just sounds (from beavis and butthead)
blastem1.wad is just e1m9 from doom1 but without enemies or coop starts
doom142.wad is the first three episodes from doom 1 converted to doom 2, unedited
(except for doom1 textures replaced with doom2 ones by the converter)
this wouldn't be allowed on idgames so i didn't include it here either
screenshots from the (doom1) hub:
oh, and this is 100% compatible with zandronum, but ive noticed it loads slowly (probably because of how many maps there are),
so i mainly tested it with gzdoom
the doom 1 side (398 total maps):

the doom 2 side (v1 - first hub - 1086 total maps so far):

^i'll release a new version when i finish a hub map, each one contains roughly a thousand maps
addon: doom1 textures in doom2:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/h35hredlbaepf ... x.wad?dl=0
^add-on for the doom2 side, this is a texture pack containing the doom1 textures that doom 2 is missing
(it's from realm667, but i converted it to png, optimized it and added sp_dude6 which was missing)
some of the maps in the doom2 side are converted from doom 1 but some of them still use doom 1 textures
(the converter came with a wad that adds the doom1 textures), resulting in missing textures; zdoom will play
the maps just fine but the missing textures will turn into checkerboards, load this wad if you don't want that to happen
bonus: the heretic side (19 total maps):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6giqen5k4fvjt ... e.pk3?dl=0
^i didnt make a hub map since there aren't that many heretic wads,
instead each wad is selectable as its own "episode"
