It has been a while since I've built a door (like 15 years) but it's easy. Make a sector with floor height = ceiling height = the floor height of the surrounding sectors, and attach the door effect to the linedefs that connect to the surrounding sectors. Optionally, put a door texture on the upper textures of those same linedefs so it looks like a door. Also, you can unpeg the textures of the walls on the inside sides of the door so they don't move with it when it opens.

A.o.D. posted:Can a door have more than 2 working sides? It can have as many as you want (or even 1 side if you want it to lock behind the player) and be in whatever shape you want. All you need to do is make sure that the door trigger linedefs are facing the right way, i.e. away from the door, and that it starts in a closed position. edit: Okay you don't have to make doors start in a closed position, but when they close on their own after being opened for the first time they'll lower entirely to the floor rather than their starting position so it's weird if they aren't closed initially BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Jun 17, 2016 |

Feedback on "Very Cross": - Do another pass on doors. Some don't have the same texture on both sides, and many don't have their tracks unpegged. - The flickering light in the start room is weird. Far too dark when off, and same light level as the rest of the area when on. - I'd suggest switching around the door to reach the secret with the automap, it's a bit odd to have to go through what looks like a solid midtexture. - There's no way to lower the cross elevator once you're in. Maybe put a switch or teleporter for those who want to backtrack? I found out near the end I had missed one monster and one secret (because I don't like jumping in lava). - A supershotgun (or a berserk pack) would be nice to take down the bullet sponges faster. - Texturing themes were a bit all over the place. It's okay if it's a deliberate choice, it's just that I've become used to thematic consistency in most levels.

oh god switching to hexen broke EVERYTHING fuuuuuuck this was a huge mistake fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck edit: thank god I have the google drive version as a backup. editx2: Okay, here's what I'll do: I'll fix the sectors the immobile chaingunners are in. I'll fix the one misaligned texture no one has noticed. I'll rig a stop at the last boss fight. Some of the doors I'll match textures on, but some of them that was a deliberate choice. Otherwise this is staying as Doom2 for now, so no scripting and no configurable light flickers. Sorry, but I don't have the skill to fix this quickly to work with the hexen format, and I don't have the knowledge to make very basic things work yet. extra edit: haha, somehow the flickering light in the start room is fixed! Final DooM edit: Here's version 1.01. Unless I broke something while making edits and fixes, this is the last iteration I'm going to do of this map. A lot was learned doing it, and I wouldn't have been able to get as far as I did without you guys.

Why isn't the run bar with the argument "C:\Doom Builder 2\zwadconv.exe <verycross.wad> <verycrossz.wad>" or "C:\Doom Builder 2\zwadconv.exe verycross.wad verycrossz.wad" working? I keep getting a Windows cannot find the file... etc, even though it's right loving there. Is it not compatible with Win10?

Hold shift and then right-click in the folder with zwadconv.exe in it, then choose "open command window here." Then try the command again in that window and see if that works. Windows probably isn't happy with the space in the path. edit: alternatively, I think putting quotes around the path and name of the executable will tell it that the spaces are part of the path

What are some of the most gorgeous, detailed, or atmospheric custom Doom levels/megawads out there? I was always disappointed with the design of the original Inferno episode, and have looked for levels/megawads with a more dark, detailed Hellish feel. I remember a megawad for BD from a few years ago called Beyond Hell & Earth that had some cool-ish and creative hell levels, and I've liked really detailed dark stuff like that one map from DUMP 2 that was heavily reminiscent of Doom 64 (I love doom 64's atmosphere and design) and that one Giger-inspired map that was never finished. I'm not too concerned with difficulty or fair enemy/item placement so much as aesthetics. What else am I missing out on?

"Back to Basics" isn't strictly in Hell, but it's a Shores of Hell episode replacement that fits the theme of the original levels while doing the corrupted base thing a lot better. The only complaint I have with it is that it doesn't have you stepping off a portal at the start of the first level. Not that the original E2M1 looked even a bit like the endpoint of the E1M8 portal though. https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom/a-c/b2b It's one of the first wads I saw that skillfully used the game's fleshy textures for demonic growths. Doom has fantastic texture work but a lot of it is pretty underutilized in the original levels. (exception being that Romero's levels in Knee Deep in the Dead made drat good use of the techbase textures)

If you haven't already, I recommend checking out: -Ultimate Torment and Torture -Demon Eclipse (unfinished project, but had an either finished or 95% finished hell episode) -ZDCMP2 -A few maps from ZPack (I recommend Terror Cube, Fried Fortress, and Blackrock off the top of my head as atmospheric hell maps. Probably some others as well.) -The Void of Hell -Whispers of Satan -The Eye (single map by mouldy) -Unloved As a fellow Doom hadeophile, I can attest that at least some of these ought to turn your crank. There are probably more but this is what I have off the top of my head. e: Oh, despite its somewhat polarizing reputation, I recommend KDIZD as well if you want visuals and hellish corruption and gameplay is no object. e2: CChest4 JerryLee fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Jun 18, 2016 |

Oh man, KDIZD has some really good hell corruption poo poo in it. It's just too bad about its gameplay. I like how in the first level it tried to do something different with how you have to find a bomb to blow open a cracked wall, but then by Computer Station you're just collecting keycards of every colour you can think of. (or 6, whichever is fewer colours) edit: Also it went more than a little overboard with the new enemies didn't it

I didn't really find KDIZD's gameplay to be that bad (I even found the secret map exit on my own the first time  ) but I know pants were shat about it so I figured I'd include the disclaimer.

I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed my playthrough of it and I'm probably going to play it again eventually (edit: mostly because I loved the poo poo out of the architecture). I just can't think of any way to describe KDIDZ's added keys and enemies as anything other than "that's enough, holy poo poo stop"

I found the worst part of KDIDZ was that awful underground section added to E1M3. Just when you think you've beaten the map, you get thrown into a confusing underground mine and have to go and hunt for ANOTHER set of keycards in order to beat the map, but this time the keycards are placed in obscure locations!

Thank you for the feedback, CJacobs.CJacobs posted:I feel like the opening Cacostorm 2016 is a bit unfair to the player since they might, like me, not realize they can climb the pillars and thus not see the rocket launcher up there. Personally I'd go one more quarter turn around the pillar with the platforms, so that it's just barely in view at the start so the player knows it's there. There's really no way to survive the level without it. I see what you are saying - I didn't want to change the geometry, but I added a trail of rockets leading up the steps to give some indication that the player can get up there. Samuel Clemens, I couldn't reproduce that missing texture bug in your screenshot; the textures, linedefs and light levels seem to be correct, and I can't see the issue in GZDoom. Hopefully the DUMP team can help me squash this one. Thanks for replaying the level and giving me feedback again! E: Can anyone recommend a (preferably free) tool for editing/creating MIDI files?

Hi guys I'm more or less done with my DUMP3 map, if any of you have time to give it a quick spin I'd appreciate it. Here's the link. Edit: Uploaded the file before I touched it in SLADE, might be less hosed. I tried to add some music with SLADE. Importing the file, HighVolt.mid, then creating a MapInfo entry that looks like this: map (MAP01) "CLOVERHOUSE" { next = "EndGame1" music = "HighVolt.mid" } But none of this seems to work. I'm probably not adding the entry the right way, I'm guessing. Also I can't seem to get it to load directly into the map when setting it first in the ZDL load order, I have to type "open clvrhaus.wad" in gzdoom. This is probably noob poo poo 101 but if you know how to get it working that'd be nice  Actual map stuff: First map ever, difficulty / pacing / gameplay might feel off, but should be sorta okay.
