[WIP] SSHU

Post by ibm5155 »

EDIT1:Something Strange Happened in=SSHU better name =p
Finaly my fist mod post here \o/

So it´s only one map, you just enter in uac and many strange things happened, you can´t get out from uac, you run from many places until you find a spaceship, the problem, you don´t know where it´s going to go.

So for the details.

Work time:2 or 3 months
New monsters:no
New weapons:no
New sounds:yes
New music:yes
New map:only one
Source Ports:Zdoom 2.6,Gzdoom,Skulltag (skulltag have two graphcals problens but it works)

it´s done, but, I´ll add somethings more in the final release (not much, more remove skulltag bugs and some details in the map)

Download here

Well, this is a strange mix of some quite advanced features and '94 style mapping. Some of the features are really nice and some of the tricks, puzzles, scenes and fights are well thought through and well executed. However, it also features big square rooms, at least one HOM effect, ceilings that are the same height as the adjacent sky etc etc. I also found ammo balance not quite right.

Is it fun? Well, actually, yes it is.

IMO it should have some TLC spent on it to make it look visually more appealing but the basic idea and the execution of some of the areas is fine.

You need to make more maps for this, and extend the last one! Not because they're too short, But because it was SO much fun to play this wad, I haven't had this much fun in single player since Hell Revealed and stuff :D!
Great work!

Wow thanks, i did my best in a pentium 3 1GHz (hol*y *******, that was the most instable computer that i moded, i lost so many parts with BSOD >.<)
My first idea was how challenge i could do a mod without new monsters/weapons, not using 1000 monsters in a room, i tried my best =D...

It´s not a final release, just a stable/playable state, you want more? i think i should make a roter for all the maps make sence, hmm, maybe 1 map by 2 months could be a nice idea.
The HOM effect i know, but unfortunately that was the only way that i could work with the wall that explode :(
Also this map was the most buged map that i did, at least many wall tricks that i discovered dodged it...

Ok, so i´ll finish this map, repairing some bugs in skulltag and detailing some areas.
The next map probably would be the "walking in hell".

PS:How do i put a working secret area? i tried to put one at start and other in the second end =/

This is exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for. Reminded me a bit of Build engine games. I'd definately like to see more like it.

You might have already fixed this, but the subtractive dynamic lights for the ammo should have "dontlightself" set to one in GLDEFS, so that you can actually see the ammo.

Actualy i didn´t, the subtractive dynamic lights is from brutal doom, my wip is going to be played in classic doom monsters/weapons or if you don´t like it, use some monsters/weapons pack like brutal doom...
I put more than one shell in the same place, with one the shell looks normal, with 2 or more, it happen that bug

Just out of curiosity, Will you be making more maps? Because honestly, i wouldn't mind having like 20+ maps like this, With a few more Epic Bossfights like the SpiderMasterMind, I really loved that fight personally, it was something different than just the regular "Cutscene: marine: die cyberdemon Cyberdemon: Some evil line"and then it turns out just like the Tower of Babel fight.

I don´t know how many maps it´s going to be. The action, well i think not all´ll have the same action, but could have something different like puzzles... Now i need to think in a good continuation history, because i don´t want to lost the quality of the mod with strange things like first map ends in hell, the second start in a city...

I need to plan more the mod

Just a tip: If you're going to show us screenshots of your work, don't use add-ons like external mods and such (I can see in the second and third screenshots that you're using Brutal Doom) since it will only confuse people in thinking that these are part of the project.

Good advice generally, though in this particular case he's already said no new weapons or monsters in the OP and I think Brutal Doom is pretty easily recognizable to the target audience. :P
