@AFADoomer - I think this isn't bad at all because it's the only bug in the map!

Did someone fix that sewer railing texture misalignment I reported several pages back?

Unfortunately there were problems keeping me from logging into the archive server, so nothing got moved out for a few days until Saturday evening, too late usually for TNC folks to snag them.

Yeah. Now upload it again with an 8-character filename and an email address in the text file and I won't have to reject it... again!

@y - You are a very hard admin

Nevertheless, changed the things you requested and uploaded it again. Just a question: Why is the email address needed?

Probably too late now, but don't you think there should be a autosave before the final boss arena? And Lexus' name is misspelled in most of the end cutscene.

Yes, too late, and I don't think that this autosave is that important. But you are right on the misspelling, I'll try to do something about it on the version on my hp!

Nope, not bad at all...

You could just fix all these last-minute little things, and then re-upload it to /newstuff...

This error is so easy to oversee, I don't want to reopen my DoomBuilder and fix this, then reupload this to newstuff and my own page just because of this simple error.

I just downloaded it... Will probably play it tomorrow. Can't wait!

You better believe it

Nevertheless, changed the things you requested and uploaded it again. Just a question: Why is the email address needed?

In this case, for me, it wouldn't be so much, because I know the people involved, but if there is a question about ownership of resources or a need to contact the uploader because of a problem, there needs to be one. It's not foolproof (there will always be a better fool...) but at least people can tell who uploaded what. I get a lot of questions about older files that don't have a valid email any more, but at least this cuts down on some of it.

Besides, I wanted to find a way to use that whip smiley

OK, I finally got a chance to DL the completed map and play it. I did notice a few areas where things that had been discussed/asked for had not been done or finished off and one or two areas where the play style/ monster population was a little inconsistent however it has turned out to be a damn fine map. Very enjoyable good battles throughout, nice puzzles, some really kick ass looking areas and a great sound track. Well done to all concerned.

Since I last played the map, very little had been added. I think the only significant new area was the new bit in the hellish base after you have flicked both switches to free the "nucking futs" megasphere. And that was a severely cool looking area IMO. However, it was obvious that quite a bit had been done on balancing things and making sure there was enough health/ammo etc throughout.

For info, here's how my stats turned out:

I killed all but 8 monsters,
got 9/10 secrets (dunno how I missed a secret, I know where they all are

)
81% items (I never bother trying to get 100%)
and it took me 1 hour seven minutes and some seconds

At no point did I feel desperately short of ammo though sometimes I did have to use a weapon that would not be my first choice, so I reckon that's just about perfect. Health for the most part was quite generous I thought. I was usually hovering around 100% and spent sometime over the 100. The lowest points health wise were just after defeating the seriously scriptzored arena and getting the red skull (the arena battle is really cool, and as I said before, I don't normally like them). I think I had about 37% then, and in the new hell section before getting the soul sphere down there - I had to hop across the lava pit on only 5% health

. So again, I guess health must be about right too.

Do I have a favourite area? Ummm, I don't think so. It's maybe just because I know how the level came together but the style of the level, with its discrete battles kind of makes it feel like you have played a bunch of little levels in one whilst still keeping to an overall story. There were certainly no areas I didn't enjoy playing.

So, a seriously cool map. Well done again guys.

BTW, out of interest, I tried to skip the end credits and for some reason "using" the script line didn't work, but puking the script did. It all seems to be set up OK so I dunno

I thought the "complete the sequence is" bit was funny, just after the "nucking futs" MegaSphere. Let's drink to a Hell of a map. To Tormentor and everyone who worked on this masterpiece.

EDIT: Nice Serious Sam bit HotWax.
