Ah, that's something else. Good point, though. Well, technically, I'm gonna put all resources used into a single wad so there can be no multiple copies of a texture.

@Lud Considering the deadline switch, put me down for a late slot hell-themed map, maybe map 27 if still available. I'll have it done in time. And just shoot me the maps/wad when you're ready for beta testing. Thanks!

Consider yourself added. ;) MAP27 it is. Oh, btw, you reserved slot 13 if I'm not mistaken. You gonna keep that one, too? Asking to avoid any confusion. You can have multiple slots, just making sure I didn't make a mistake.

EDIT: Updated F.A.Q.

Question.

I saw a map with ResetHealth Map property so I thought the following: "Should I add a Defaultmap with ResetHealth and ResetInventory?"
You will hardly ever pick up something > weapon slot 4 and the idea is to keep the challenge in each map. I personally vote for adding that, in order to preserve the original challenge. At the end of the day, there is no linearity, like I said, and all maps can be played from pistol start. All I'm gonna do, apart from bugfixes, is connect the maps' exits and compile them into a single wad. Technically, having ResetHealth and ResetInventory makes a lot of sense. But I'd still like to hear your opinions.

I would vote yes. Most of these maps are clearly designed for pistol start. And that how these sort of wads (see Scythe for instance) are intended to be played. I'm planning on posting a new map, if I get a chance. Something with... heavier weaponry.

Yes, both slots please. Map13 is undergoing some final tweaking but it's essentially done. I'll start Map27 soon.

I agree on the ResetHealth/Inventory. Great idea, Lud!

Thanks! Original idea belongs to Voltcom9 who used the ResetHealth property.

Alrighty, then I'll keep both slots. Thanks for clearing that up. :)

I'm considering maybe I'll give it a try too. Just one thing.
Are line portals allowed?

Not until Graf fixes the portals issue in GZDoom. I really wanted to use them, but can't. Map will break for non-ZDoom users. Interesting how it's present in GZDoom 2.2.0, too.

Updated rules regarding portals.

Right. But what if I made absolutely sure the portals are "different height" portals?
I've already determined those work for GZDoom.

Reading this Graf seems surprised why people place line portals with front and back sector being the same. Weird. :?

EDIT: I think it's fixed.

If that's the case, forget about the portal rule. You're free to use them. I hope Graf really fixed them, though. I don't have a dev build to test. Can't compile myself.

A noob question of mine. What is the function of portals? Does something similar to 3D sectors?

It basically enables you to "look" through a linedef and teleport through it. You can use it to create infinite loops. If you've played Unreal Tournament '99, the DM map Fractal has that. Google it if you don't know what I mean.

Alrighty. Sign me up for maybe MAP14? I'm gonna try to make something moderately difficult. Can't guarantee it won't suck.
But I gotta start somewhere, right? :P
