Disclaimer:
1) Neither the Hi-Res textures or the levels will be included in the wad. They are separated modules. You can download the Hi-Res Textures anywhere (just type "HD Textures for Zdoom Download" in Google to find 'em). The map pack is a (still) unreleased revamp of Ultimate Doom maps made by me to add more detail to levels, and Doom 2 and Skulltag monsters and weapons. I will upload these maps soon as I get at least the entire Episode 1 done.

Or you can just visit here and hit the likely-looking links created by Google - I think the best-looking one is from the freelanzer.com domain.

I very much wanted to link to lmgtfy, but I held back. Just for you.

It's really sad that you really have to search for high-res texture packs for ZDoom. They tend get buried/deleted on the official Doom forums because a lot of people really hate them.

Wow, Doom Builder 2 really is pretty easy to use. Following that tutorial, I actually managed to get ahead of myself and figure a few things out on my own. My first test level's got basically no gameplay, but I added some pretty cool details like a little cable running out of the teleport pad you start on and into the wall, and a lava pit in the floor that actually follows the edge of the hexagonal tiles. There is one thing that puzzles me, though. Is there a way to align top and bottom textures independently of one another? I haven't gotten all the way through the tutorial yet, so forgive me if this is addressed later on, but so far the only solution I found for doing top and bottoms is to hide them behind a small raised sector of something else. It looks alright, but for stuff like recessed lights it's kind of weird to have the front of it lighting all the way up the front of the light to the ceiling.

Once I get the hang of this, I think I'm gonna try my hand at something for the proposed SA Megawad. Thinking I might try and remake the first level of Rise of the Triad's shareware in a Doom setting, with some minor tweaks here and there to keep things fresh. Always loved that game as a kid and its level design is simple enough that most of it shouldn't be too much trouble. I'm going to call it "Rise Again" and it's going to be awesome.

Oh man I remember seeing that around back in the day.


And I want to see if anyone else remembers something id released back in the day. It was a CD that contained all of the Doom games, Wolfenstein 3D, Quake, and I think a few other titles. What was weird about this disk was that it contained both demos and full versions of all of those games and what you were supposed to do was call a 1-800 number to buy and unlock them using a code/response-code system.

Naturally I had a 3.5" floppy with some cracking tool that I got from a classmate but I've never seen anything like it since.

It was the Quake demo CD. I still have it and I installed it on a win95 VM about a year ago after tracking down that very cracking tool you're talking about. I took this screenshot which I found amusing:

Doom builder has a built in tool for making curved walls but by the time I realized it was there I had already made all my curves. You can always start with square rooms and straight halls then just add things here and there. If I remember Q3 mapping you really made rooms square then had to use bevel tools.

Q3 was unique in that it had proper curved surfaces. Not approximations, but real actual curved surfaces. Unfortunately this caused a lot of seam issues when two curved surfaces met. These days, we have enough polygons and tessellation algorithms available to us that it doesn't matter anymore.

I'm not sure if it was deliberate, but my experience went like this: Pushed a button that opened the first door. Immediately made a left and pushed the button that opens the door at the top of stairs. I then pushed a button on that same wall, which opened the door right next to it. At the end of this room, I pushed a button that opened a door across the hall from the room I was currently in. This room had an HK in it, and when I killed it, I pushed the button in its room and the map ended.

I thought it was just a short map, but when I reloaded it, I flew through some walls and realized there was a lot more to the map. Did you intend for the player to go through the map so quickly, possibly missing a lot of extra stuff? Or is it a mistake that I only had to press four switches to end the level?

Pretty much. However nearly half the map is unlocked via secrets. When I designed the map I had a story in my head, and I kind of designed the map like an introduction to a much bigger campaign. So it was supposed to be a quick jaunt kind of like Entryway. I'm just not sure how to make it more challenging aside from adding more badguys.

Also, I believe I did my last two maps in "Boom" Format. If people make maps in "UDMF" format, will we be able to put them together in a WAD?

Yeah I remember having to deal with seams and the proper way to do a curved surface was put a bevel up then behind it you used the "caulk" texture. This prevent leaks and rendering issues.

Cool map. Couldn't figure out the secrets though, I'd advise dropping some sort of subtle hint that that wall can be shot to open the doors.

Also getting walls to draw sky by making them regular untextured walls only works in ZDoom ports, as your map is Doom format it can be run in other sourceports and the effect is a hall of mirrors rather than sky. I'd advise learning the "proper" way to make sky textured walls just because it's a good habit to get into (it's in those tutorials).

It'll be fine. You can mix and match map formats all you like, the only issue is using a sourceport that is compatible with all of them (ZDoom ports are fine in this regard, and those seem to be the only ones goons use so it's all good.)

To which tutorials are you referring? The ones on the Doom Builder website are pretty basic. I found some tutorials about skyboxes, and they seem to require that the map be in zdoom format. (I just learned about the different formats a little while ago.)

Are there any good tutorials that you recommend? There seems to be a lot to this.

I'm gonna be honest. The new level... is not very good. The design is off in a lot of ways, from the weird super narrow hallway in the first area to the rock textures all over the tops of the walls in the area across from there. I couldn't find the yellow key door until I used the automap. Also all the slogging through slime is kind of tedious.

The improved version of your first, however, is actually pretty nice. A little sparse in some areas still, but I definitely like it from a gameplay standpoint. The Archvile was kind of out of nowhere, but then I generally hate fighting them anyways. Your texturing really shows some character now, and that's pretty great. If you keep working on your design aesthetic, you could probably make some really good levels.

In my opinion, a lot better. I think you added the right amount of personality and texture to the map. Maybe scale back on the number of flickering lights you use, but it wouldn't kill me if you kept it the way it is. I also like the use of enemies spawning in, especially because you don't go overboard with them. I think it would fit well in a goon wad now.
