A nice exemple on how to make a flexible SnapMap (Doom 2016)

This here i think is a great map,its simple yet flexible in its design,i like how it as this constant build up,it start slow and easy but as you progress things get harder.

Maps dont always need to be jumbled mazes,you can have order and structure too.

Only thing tough wich i think would had made the climax better is if the spider mastermind eventually started to move as a final phase.

Only problem is that the "Spider Mastermind" as shown in the video is just one giant prop. Or a collection of them. It's still incredibly well done for what it is.

I wish they gave us D4 Radiant. SnapMap is Tony Hawk Park Editor garbage.

Whats D4 Radiant ?

Also about SnapMap editor,i think it look more like Timesplitters editor than Tony Hawk Park Editor.

[SouthernLion]

I don't think D4 Radiant actually exists, just following the naming of official editors for Quake 3 and then Doom 3.

Now, if we only had a SnapMap type program for (G)ZDooM! I'd finally be able to make custom maps for HoD.

1. What is HoD?
2. What's stopping you from making a map for whatever that is, and loading up the mod alongside?

1. Heretics of DooM.
2. I had some nice ideas for maps. I worked on a modified version of a DooM II map, as well as an original one, but I found the whole process way too time consuming, difficult, and frustrating. It would be nice to have some major prefabs or snap-together structures that I could then customize without going nuts. So, yeah, a GZDooM version of SnapMap would be very nice indeed.
3. As much as I love computers, I can only do so much. I started out as a comp sci major in college, but when you bust your @55 and only get a "C" in each of your required classes, it's just not the major for you.

That's learning Doom Builder for you. So, you'd rather have a very limited mapping experience as compared to an unlimited one?

[Naniyue]

At the very least, some templates would be good. I don't mind doing a little modification, but to have the groundwork already in place would be very nice indeed. For example, a set of double doors that I could just copy and paste into any map. Basically, give me the bones and organs, and I'll handle the muscle and the skin.
So yeah, once I can play DooM 2016, I won't mind trying SnapMap.
