Alrighty then! Bouncy, I have some decorating on the plate for you and I will pm you what they are and their sprites. Farlowj, if you get a chance, go over your map (MAP04 in the main wad) and iron out the bugs. Get the main wad off the server (I just updated it) and first make sure it has the right map.

Okay, in order to put enemies and such in, I need to know, what kind of weapons and ammo and items and such will the player have when they get to map02? Some other things:

1. Will map03 be finished? It has a really good start, so it should be.
2. What's map05? Will it be finished?
3. Do you want the intro map I made?
4. Finally, do you have the map that Killer made, hpmap07? It's quite good.

Nothing for me to do?

Oh trust me, I have plans for you. Beta-testing for the complete maps once we've run over them

1)In the near future. I left it alone for lack of idea, but I'm getting back on the ball
2)MAP05 = Fear of Darkness. That one is also underway, though I could use some help with it
3)Sure! From there, we can fine tune it and have it work to our needs
4)Yes, I do. It is on the server, I just have yet to put it in the main wad

The players will get into map 2 after map 3, so I would imagine that better weapons will start becoming available (since the weapons aren't actually done yet, I'll get back to you on that when Bouncy has done some of them). I also have to add some monsters Eriance made(Nightmare, Fallen, Wraith) so once all that it done I'll be sure to let you know.

Better make it quick; I'm gone by the end this month

Thanks, though.

Caligari, I'm sure we could use another map, even if it is a small one. Do you have access to the server to see what's there?

bout time this got going again!!!

Anything I can do to help?

@Farlowj: Nope. You'd have to give me the address and password, or something.

I'll warn you though; don't count too much on mapping: I've got severe mapper's block lately...

Post by **Kirby** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 9:08 pm

@Caligari - We'll see if you come up with any idea after you get the wad

Post by **Caligari87** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 10:13 pm

Actually, farlowj gave me the password, but I need a login. He doesn't remember.

Okay, new version of MAP04 up on the server. It has the music lumps, level, and intro map thing in it. The intro map is currently set at Map05, but just rename it to whatever, I don't think any of the scripts have the level argument set. Map04 still needs items and such, but I'm just putting it up there for you guys to see, and to check for bugs. Enjoy... or don't enjoy, it's up to you.

I tought of posting this here:
Since Jalla has quit Zdoom and he won't be hosting stuff on his server, here's a snippet from the [censored word] thread from offtopic:

Pm me the link or email me the files for Zhalloween. I will host it on Paul.drdteam.org (I cannot provide full security though, but I'll talk with Grubber on securing my server better).

I too offered a host but i'm sure the drd one is much more powerful than mine

Harummm Harummm Harummm........

ME and my poor burnt out enthusiasm.........

I haven't touched this in a while, a LONG while. I don't know if I can get it finished or if theres even enough help for me to get it finished. There's still some things I have in mind, but I don't know if this will be a comepleted project.

It would be a dream if this thing could be finished by October 31st of this year in its full glory, but I don't see it happening.

In short, this may end up dead soon (unless help is gotten)

I just thought I'd let everyone know that if you want to help this back on its feet, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I really don't want all that has been put into it so far to be thrown out like a dirty rag. I know many of you out there want to see this finish, so I plea to you: help me do it.

Other than that, I'm just gonna do some stuff to it right now. If you wish to help, post here ASAP.
