Medieval Madness DM:
Set of maps for multiplayer games to your favorite games and mods;)

After a long time, I updated this set of maps to play without double jump, I modified the first two, the first being the most noticed, I replaced the third map and added another. Slow but safe.
I have also added the set for QC: DE.

I leave these images for the delight of those who enjoy them;)

We played these in the last two weekly D4T friday events. These maps are gorgeous. Love the double jumping to reach powerups, weapons and whatnot.

So far, the one thing that i think it could be improved, is to maybe make the maps darker and use dynamic lights for full gzdoom/zandro beauty. Players are fullbright in D4T so, visibility shouldnt be an issue, yet, currently, a lot of the map looks plain (which of course, they're not!) because of the same textures+equal lighting everywhere. The contrast of dark and light could make this maps look even better!

But still, these are awesme, and we've had a lot of fun. Sniping while on the rooftops to only be sniped by someone else is damn fun.


Awesome maps. Just awesome. :wub:

The maps are excellent, and apart from having a few frame drops on one, they don't kill performance (on my lower-end cheapo PC)
The design looks quite a lot like Unreal.

Gameplay-wise, the Pain Elemental is overpowered on the third map because of it's super-spacey nature and homing projectiles, but it's to be expected with open areas and not something anyone can do much about.
Sniping is damn fun as DBT mentioned, and the maps are not lacking in verticality.

All in all, wouldn't hurt to have more awesome PvP map designers like yourself. :wink:

Thank you very much, your words are very gratifying and even more reason to improve this work.
Being sincere, I am very noob with the dynamic lights, still, in the third map I have come to implement transparencies and lines with lighting to improve the effect of the interiors of the towers ... but the performance falls and it suffers a lot.
The balconies of the tallest tower had independent wood, it was not the texture it is now, each wall formed these balconies, just as in the second tower. You could see through and shoot through the slits while you could see the light effect across the lines ... but the performance was painful. Totally abominable for my purpose.
I want to practice a little more dynamical lights and implement it properly because I also see very flat areas.

Thank you very much the comments. The work is not finished, I want to create maps of this style until I get tired of it, little by little, I also want to improve these three maps because there are things that have not just convinced ...
Especially because I love the possibilities of double jump in multiplayer, in the 3 ID relics that are Doom, Heretic and Hexen.

As I am "new" in this of sharing projects, I do not know whether to release it for those who want to contribute their map with these resources, within the concept of maintaining the double jump, do it, or follow myself that after all I love how has been and how fun it is to jump all over the map

I really love these maps! it would be very cool if you could possibly demake some of the D'16 Multiplayer maps for D4T as well! Thoughts on doing something like that? Great work none-the-less
