[Community Project] 20 Monsters Challenge [RELEASED!]

[leodoom85]

Alright, my map is ready. As I said, it is a basic map, like the starting point of a megawad.
Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ccpjkr137h3oc ... 0.zip?dl=0

Have fun .

Sign me up, this seems like a good place to start making actual maps.

[SoulCircle]

Ehhh..... Sign me up too. Guess I should post my first map in an event like this, since this is to teach zt how to make a better map.

[Rachael]

Guess I'll give it a shot, if I get some sort of inspiration of what to build.

[UnTrustable]

A small map with 20 monsters max...? hmm....
Im not really an expert in making small maps though...
But i'll try one...

List updated. Leodoom, your DL link has been put in the main post. I played through the map and it's pretty fun.

A question, can I put another sky texture, like the Plutonia sky? Because a sky can be used without the TEXTURES lump, maybe I'm wrong.

Although that question has already been answered, the answer is yes. In fact, I thought about it a little and decided to scrap the custom textures rule. This is about monster placement, so custom textures are fine.

What's the rule on music? Custom MIDIs allowed? Or OGG if it fits and isn't over a couple MB?

My map is almost done also, I struggled with ideas but then I decided to do something crazy, but I'm loving the result. Don't worry, the crazy part isn't related to the monsters... something's gotta make up for the lack of action.

Sure, custom music's fine. Anything that doesn't collide with the main point of the map, which is being difficult while having no more than 20 vanilla monsters, is most likely fine.

Can i use custom music?Probably i'll use this ost for my map

See previous post.

This is a great idea, gonna try and piece something together for this.

Thanks for playing my map, at least it has more detail than the slaughter map. You know what, I will try that map as a challenge, without dying, just for the lols.

I had fun making this... you guys are probably gonna think I'm on crack or something.

Map Name: Underglow
MIDI: Hate Machine by Jimmy (30-in-30 2)
Replaces: MAP01
Format: ZDoom UDMF

Download (GZDoom version with fancy colored lighting):

underglow.zip

Download (ZDoom version, software friendly):

underglow_software.zip

EDIT: Forgot to mention I used a lot of colored lighting, just tried it in ZDoom and it looks really weird. I can change it to normal lighting if it's too weird. I keep forgetting I'm on the ZDoom boards, not GZDoom. I'm so used to mapping for GZDoom I forget about software rendering. Heh.

Nevander, can I borrow your info format for use in the main post?

Nevander, can I borrow your info format for use in the main post?

Yea sure, wanna provide all the info you'll need for it. Also added a software friendly version of the map, although ZDoom apparently can't process that radiation sign I aligned in UDMF... it comes out weird, but GZDoom it looks fine. I thought that was universal to UDMF?

Anyway I hope the two versions still counts as one submission, the only difference between the two is removed colored lighting so it looks normal in ZDoom. The map is otherwise exactly the same.
