Snot Station (my first ZDoom map)

[Xyzzy01]

This is my first time starting a thread like this, so bear with me.

This is a short, simple level for Chex Quest 3. This was made at the time I was just discovering and figuring out the various features ZDoom has to offer. No, there aren't any scripts or 3D floors or anything complicated like that. Other that MAPINFO and BEHAVIOR, the map is pretty much vanilla. Most of the details about the map are on /idgames. So go ahead and play it!

Heh, that was quite good fun - and tougher than I expected in some places. The end battle was an interesting surprise.

Just now thought about this but thanks, Enjay! I was expecting more people would play this, but I guess this isn't the case.

Is there any way to find out how many times a file has been downloaded from idgames +mirrors? I suspect it's been played by a lot more people than just me. Most people won't comment though.

[Xyzzy01]

Doomworld's downloads section shows 7 downloads, but I think at least a few of those were by me to show to my friends and cousins on their computers.

If it's worth mentioning, I downloaded, played, and liked it when I first saw it on Doomworld Downloads (is that the official way to refer to what used to be /idgames? I don't even know).

[Enjay]

I could be wrong but I *think* Doomworld downloads is still a portal to /idgames or one of its mirrors. All the reviewing and rating stuff is on Doomworld, I assume, but the files themselves seem to come from the gamers.org mirror (for me anyway; there may be some auto-chosing of best mirror going on).

Surprisingly hard for a Chex level. I kept running out of ammo, seems that one should just ignore enemies whenever possible (so, yellow key ambush and flembrane are necessary kills, final invasion also because they're just too dangerous to live, others should just be dodged and ignored).

There's a missing texture warning in the console, and you can see the checkerboard when you look at the secret door after it opened.

/idgames is still /idgames, even if the Doomworld frontend changes. The frontend was never /idgames anyway, just like ZDL isn't ZDoom.

Thank you all for the feedback. It is possible to get 100% kills, even without relying on the secret area and bootspoon. Here is the intended way if anyone's interested:

---

[*] Zorch the Stridicus at the start.
[*] Run all the way to the Large Zorcher (but be sure to grab the ammo on both ends of the circular path!).
[*] Go about the map as normal, zorching all flemoids you see.
[*] After defeating the Flembrane, use the Phasing Zorcher to destroy all the flemoids you ran past at the start (ignoring the Maximus coming your way from the left)
[*] Use the rest of your Large and Mini Zorcher ammo to take out the Maximus.
[*] Go about the rest of the map as normal, you should have enough ammo for everything else that stands in your way.
