[Community Project] 20 Monsters Challenge [RELEASED!]

[isaacpop23]

Here's a quick update of my map with the fixes that leodoom85 mentioned.
Also, thanks for telling me how to fix those textures, I could not figure that out for the life of me and it was bothering me.

[leodoom85]

No problem, maybe I can post a list of possible minor touches or bugs for the maps, like HOMs.

[SoulCircle]

Not sure if I had asked this, but are 3D floors allowed in these maps? If so, does a ZDooM friendly version have to be released along side with it?

EDIT: Nevermind. It uses the Doom 2 in Hexen formula, so I have a feeling it's fine.

[Nevander]

Updated version of my map, I changed the music to Digital Onslaught by Dan Terminus, it's free on BandCamp. I didn't also change the software version because I don't want to have to update two of the same map. GZDoom or bust for mine I'm afraid.

This changed courses quickly. I like the direction it's taking, though.

My map is almost done. Just detailing and play testing now. Based on its theme it probably belongs somewhere near the beginning. I'll snag Map 12 unless it was already called for. I'm flexible on what slot I get.

Not confirming now, but since the deadline was moved back and we're going the mile, I'll start another map and see if I can pull it off in time. I'll keep you posted.

Also, I'm happy to help package the final product or bug test any maps.

If you don't use sloped 3D floors, ZDoom won't have any problems.... which are only visual problems.

Same goes for me, Lud. Although... i am doing WADs for years, but never made a pk3.

3D floors are ok, slopes are ok, 3D slopes are not ok in ZDoom. It can't render them. I'd try to avoid OpenGL-specific details.

[Accensus]

@SoulCircle on ZDoom friendly version: ZDoom is the main port we're developing here. GZDoom users aren't as many, so I'd use ZDoom instead.

@Voltcom9: Added to the list.

@BillGuy: Voltcom9 took Map12, so I signed you up for Map 13, the closest free thing.

@BillGuy & UnTrustable: I need testers for the maps. I'll compile them myself, but I can't nitpick all of them. Will send a map pack when I've caught them all. You'll be testing mostly issues with map progress, in case I miss something and things don't happen as intended.

@Nevander: I'm only using the SR-friendly version cause I reckon most would play the pack in ZDoom. But I guess I'll include the GZDoom version if it's more updated than the other.

I wish there was a way to do conditional lump loading depending on if an OpenGL renderer is in use. I suppose I can update the software one later, and maybe with the release there could be a patch wad included that you can load after the main WAD that replaces the SR version with the fancy GZDoom version, same goes for anyone else who submits maps with GZDoom specific features. I've seen it done before with mods on idgames, including a GL patch wad to load after if you want.

[Vostyok]

I thought the original idea was to prove that a beginner could get great results from the most basic tools and resources. Although I suppose if it doesn't get in the way and looks good...

[Accensus]

It still kinda is. Of course, I doubt ztktx would ever start making quality maps, but it doesn't hurt to try.

[lwks]

Slot 29.
When I finish I'll post the map with the rest of the info.
Oh boy, this gonna be interesting

The mod used is HXRTC Project 4.5v, so it can make it easier or harder. The difficulty that I chose is the equivalent to Very Hard.

No offense, but seeing as this mod seemingly adds about a hundred monster variants as well as a heap of weapons, items and extra mechanics, I think it goes against the simplicity-centric nature of the project. Promotional material for this project, i.e. stuff that will be featured in the OP as you're intending, should use Vanilla weapons and monsters, as the OP states the maps are meant to.
