[Released][Zdoom]E1M8:remake, my style

[the_trigger]

Hello everyone, this is my first project I am showing you.
It is a E1M8 remake that for the moment I am pretty prood of
The map itself is 15-20% done and it uses monster from realm667 as well as textures from the episode 5 recource from nightmare and some of the gothic textures from the gothic team.
My atempt is to make a nice architecture and also create my rooms from scratch.You will also find rooms that are inspired from many other good looking wads.
After the map is done, i might also do the other boss maps(e2m8,e3m8 and e4m8) but it is still not sure, it depends on the sucess of this map and also on the time I have(Im still at school).
Here are a few screenshots for your enjoyment, hope you like them

This is the starting room, the design is inspired by the begining of thunderpeak powerplant but with less details of course:

---

Here is a door that opens to a platform that will bring you to the actual begining of e1m8(they used to be a 3dfloor since at the begining it was suposed to be a gzdoom/skulltag wad but i prefer taking it off as i want it to be zdoom compatible):

---

This is the botom of the platform:

---

The starting room of the original e1m8 level with abit more details:

---

The circular room from the original e1m8(took me a hell lot of time to make it, especialy the ceiling):

---

The secret with the soulphere:

---

Anothere e1m8 room that takes you to the lift

---

The new lift that uses the teleportinsector to create a 3d effect:

---

The coriidor that takes you to the star room:

---

There we are, hope you liked them

Hmm, not bad, dude.

The board has a limit of 5 spoilers per post, that's why the other screens aren't spoilered.

[the_trigger]

Oh ok thx for comment and for the spoiler limit info

[NovaDragon]

Nova Hear,
I gotta admit, this does look really good. I gotta give you props that this is your first map that your making and especially that your using zdoom features from the start and not starting out with a vanilla map and it looks this good. I will have to keep an eye out for this when its released but of course do not rush perfection, im liking the way this looks....alot!

My only gripe is in the 4th shot that isnt spoilered, the computer panels look a bit strange covering most of the walls. Seems like they should cover less of an area but thats just a one mans opinion. Keep up the great work man and i will definatly look out for this!

P.S. - I vote yes on the other boss maps lol.

SICK!!!!!!!!!!11!!11
but seriosly thats pretty awsome dude

@nova: Thx alot for your comment and btw, this isnt my first map,you see i usualy make maps for myself and do not release them to public
Though this looked pretty good so i decided to show the project.And I can tell you that I started my first maps with vannilla and thez didnt look as good as this one.

@corysykes: thx alot

As I speak, a few rooms have been added to the map like the star room(of course, an e1m8 remake without star room=fail), the lift in the circular area and other small rooms.
Screenies will come later

[Dreadopp]

This is looking pretty good so far. Keep it up.

[the_trigger]

Right, as I said befor, here are a few new screenshots

This is a room I added to the level, its not included in the original e1m8:

---

An outside area wich is from scratch :

---

The lift that brings you to an "automap":

---

Inside the star room:

---

Outside the star room(not much details here for the moment):

---

That is all for the moment
I might have one question though:
You see I made a teleportinsector lift and it works fine, no problems here, the thing is I added sound sequence to it to make it a little more realistic and here comes the problem:
The sound sequences plays just fine although we can here the original floor sound in the background at the same time, how do you make that floor sound disapear?
I know its possible because in thunderpeak, vader managed to do a lift that works just like me and he also managed to get rid of the floor sound in the background.
If anyone could help me with this problem, it would be nice

Oh and I would like your opinion concerning the sky, do I keep it like that or do I change it?

[Dreadopp]

Still looking great!

[Dokuro]

YAWN I'm sick of remakes but these are awesome my friend I like screenie 4 I hope there will be some new enemies that will just blow all our minds maybe a new cacodemon varient sprite you draw yourself eh kiddo?

[the_trigger]

Maybe although I realy suck at decorate, I will still give it a try though
Thx for comment ^^

[Vader]

If your elevator consists of multiple sectors, make sure to place a sound sequence thing in every sector of the lift. That should do the trick!

[the_trigger]

Wow, thx alot vader, I will try it and say if it worked

EDIT:It worked, thx alot vader

[Dokuro]

Thx for comment ^^

leave that to me

[the_trigger]

Hum kk, if you want, though you will have to do the sprites too cause well I suck at spriting too ^^
I only do maps and also graphics and stuff, sprites, i dont do.
Although if you want to do the decorate and the sprites, i dont mind go ahead, I wont forget to credit you in the readme file
