[WIP] [RELEASE] The Port (abbuw's city map)

[Nash]

So I ran around this map for a while. This is by far the most detailed "realistic" city map ever done in the Doom engine I've seen so far. :D Unfortunately, my frame rate tanks down to 30'ish if I am standing at the extreme edges of the map and look straight into the city. Actually just getting out of the starting apartment, the FPS is already 40'ish. Such is the price to pay for the lack of 1-sided lines I guess. :S Architecture is damn impressive and I can imagine this took a lot of work and patience to put together. I don't know how you plan to alleviate the performance issues but I wish you best of luck!

Just 2 things:

1) Tons of missing texture warnings
2) Lighting is too dark and flat... the lack of lighting actually masks out some of the hard-earned details (I mean a lot of scenes just look like 1 continuous blob of colour). Try take a look at some Duke3D maps for lighting ideas?

I'm planning on finishing up the geometry before I do any fancy lighting stuff.

Second alpha version, fixes alot of texture errors.

WONDERFUL MAP, YES.!/

*name of map is The Port*
oh well.
I'll just pretend the name is gz_port

My earlier opinion regarding the lighting still stands. The architecture seems nice but the complete lack of lighting contrast is bringing it down. It's not so much just "fanciness" -- that screenshot you showed with smoothlighting alone already looks way better IMO since you can see the definition of corners n' such now.

Updated the OP, new version of the map. It's got a really basic version of this nightclub I'm adding, nightclub has some neat things that I did that I'm proud of.
if you're a programmer don't look at the elevator code

Playing with experimental SSAO + bloom + chromatic aberration. Some of these shots look ALMOST photorealistic (IMO of course). :P



Oh and BTW... you might want to consider using a real, GLDEF skybox if you intend to make this map SSAO-friendly. Sector skyboxes will look like this because they're technically considered physical spaces and therefore subject to shadowing...

That looks really neat! Also, I replaced the skybox with a proper one a while ago, so no worries there. I'll upload a new version of the map sometime soon.

"Impressive" (Quake 3 voice acting).

looks awesome, gonna make sth. out of it as I am currently doing my city maps and I am lazy to make all the buildings. You will see what comes out of it. Another Idea would be to have the buildings as doombuilder prefabs

very nice, a lot of detail in this, one of the most realistic doom maps played. Really interested to see what kind of game play stuff you could add to this as it is so large and much to explore. For now I tested it with some zombie monsters and played a little survival scenario where I hid and tried to escape from them.

This project is unbelievably beautiful! These ss got me looking for it for seconds, just like when I'm looking at a very beautyful real landscape! Awesome architecture and aesthetic sense, man!

[abbuw]

I'm thinking of putting this on hold and possibly reconstructing the whole map, or atleast huge chunks of it. I'm not really satisfied with what I have now. Stay tuned!

Its perfect to use as Deathmatch and Last Man Standing (LMS), which is better than this

Oh it since it been so long its 2015 released
