DUMP Episode 3: BFG Edition [map + weapons released]

[Major Cooke]

Shadow Hog, I'll have you know Volcano Oasis was my favorite of DUMP2. I hope you do more of those kinds of maps. Beautiful test map for D4D I must admit.

Reading that name only makes me realize that it's a missed opportunity that you didn't call it "Volcanoasis."

I'm curious term, in my second map "Stop your sins" could anyone fix my damn final door? I'd hate to have it scrapped JUST for a bad door, but I have absolutely no idea what is wrong.

Speaking of things that won't bloddy work, my exit switch in my map also doesn't work and IDK what went wrong. However, I'm replacing it with a linedef in another Firemag2 area. Hey, it's better than Fireblu!

So I just took a quick look through your map again, this time actually looking for broken shit in-game, and then checking it out in DoomBuilder. So... you have the player trying to press the back side of the exit switch linedef, which doesn't really work. If you flip it so you're pressing the front side, that should fix it right up.

I haven't played your map mumble, but I'm going to guess it's the same issue. Nope, definitely not the same issue. Code poking commences now.

Well, fuck testing your map (I don't do slaughtermaps), so I tried out your code in another little test map I made, and it worked just fine. The only changes I made to it were justifying your code, because I'm OCD and my mother's an english major. I also searched every Thing with the tag 888, and all 324 (seriously dude?) of them were in that room, and appeared to be accessible, so I have no idea what the deal with your door is.

Haha, as a fan of hideous destructor, I dont normally like it either. But I liked the setup of that one, and the bouncy floor based combat.

Well, aint that a bitch... Term, if you cant fix it, just scrap the map =< or just make any old exit work

Aw, shucks, thanks. Personally, I look at it and can't help but think it's not a terribly well-designed level, though I am definitely pleased with how well it turned out, visually. We are generally our biggest critics, though, so...

Screenshots here

Tested in Zandronum 3.0 software and OpenGL. Looks and plays good in both I think!

Name: Mercury Rain
Music Used: "Mercury Rain" by Skaven (ModArchive.org link)
Credits: See the CREDITS lump in the WAD, there's a lot of community resources used here. Might be a smidgeon incomplete though.
Quote: "Also known as "Pluvial Terrace"."

Still missing:
- Resources pruned
- Difficulty balancing
- Multi placement
- Possible custom midi

Quite a high quality map for 4.5 hours. One balancing issue I have is when you initially take the lift to the radiative area. If you hesitate there's a good chance you're gonna get annihilated immediately.

Like DUMP 2, I'm going to be doing a first-impressions stream runthrough of all maps. Rules are simple, I play the map until I beat it or first death, with exceptions to the latter given if I die straight away or if the map is super-impressive. I'll be uploading the videos afterwards, so people will be able to see audience reactions/reception to your map.

http://www.twitch.tv/terminusest13/ - Stream starting soon.
Stream over, uploading video now.

[Redead-ITA]

Update my map after the i see it from the stream
Map name and download: Box simple

Quote: "i did a favor for everybody and maked the map07 for dump"

NOTE: Map01 is the one that i want to release not map07 and do not merge them both (forgot to say that and i think That Term understand it as a yes so please use only map01)
Changelog:
-Made the door openable when you get the blue key
-Made the doors have the indications that need their key
-Made the Wrapping door not so wrapping but more door

Ps. i did this map in a artistic concept of Dumpiness not for gameplay
PSS. i also have to say sorry for for term that he's gonna have a pain in the butt to put my map (map01 not map07) to the mod because of missunderstanding

Shit, I don't wake up that early. And I'm guessing that my map didn't get played.

Ah well. Here's the map with a good exit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/fd3snmc45pkfm ... n.wad?dl=0.

i think he played from map01 to map40 and 2 secret levels

[LogicalFallacy]

Map01 to map40 and all 5 secret levels.

Just saw term play my map (33). I'm amazed he camped the first part of the blood area. I always ran out of ammo when I tried that. Also, I tried to fix the shifting texture in the crusher room. Everything's set to unpegged, but it still moves . I'll switch the stairs at the beginning to bloodfalls. There's also another two areas with blood rivers that now have the same look. Here's RC2. https://mega.nz/#!2tt2iBRA!p3q47T3zO7I7 ... 1UmpT5MRuk

Changes:

Texture alterations, mentioned above.

You can now use alternate escape routes in some of the buildings in the optional slaughter without jumping. I had a beta tester get murdered there because he forgot to jump.

You can now shoot the one archvile in the initial slaughter wave in the back if you stealth the area very carefully.

The pain elemental in the room where term died was not supposed to show up below UV. I intended him to be replaced by a cacodemon. Instead both spawned on all difficulties below UV, making it harder instead of easier. Fixed.

The arrow in that area term thought was a secret is now brighter and the light flashes. I still haven't added a secret there. When I first drew it, I was going for random shapes to add detail. I realized I'd drawn and arrow and laughed at it. I was wondering if a player would check that for a secret. Now the troll is developer approved! I thought of putting one health vial or a point-blank skeleton in a secret back there, but I didn't do it. Maybe next DUMP. Hey, someone put a cyberdemon in a secret in DUMP 2. Compared to that, I'm merciful! I'll get around to it someday.

The secret chainsaw at the beginning is now a beserk pack. I didn't intend the player to fight the demons before getting the SSG. Dying there? Not good. It's supposed to be low to moderate pressure, so I want the player to live, hence the change.

A walkover line that triggers a closet was set to work for monsters and the player. Now it only works for the latter, as intended.
