Edit: I recommend loading this wad from a dos prompt, as opposed to loading it up with and then playing it using an editor (ie doom builder), which is what I normally tend to do. This way, you can see the new titlepic and watch the demo if you like, as well as avoid unwanted vertex-stitching.

Edit: Screenies

I reuploaded the archive specifically to correct that... I'm doing it again, there should only be two text files and my custom wad on the other end of that link now...

Edit: Deleted the screenshots that are not pleasing to the community.

Whoa, geez! Watch how big your animated gifs are! That last screenshot is three freaking megabytes which I bet is larger than the entire wad file...

I wonder why the Cacodemon should emit light while dying

I wonder why the Cacodemon should emit light while dying

I'm confused about why this matters.

Why shouldn't it? It somehow manages to generate glowing fireballs inside its body, and when you kill it the body bursts open. It seemed perfectly logical to me... which had nothing to do with why I added the effect.

I am also confused about why this matters.

Edit: So, following a couple weeks of no-replies, I receive two non-replies. Does anyone here have something constructive (or even pertinent) to say?

Couldn't you post some screens that don't look dumb you know screens that show your map at its best those gif images are just stupid.

I kinda like the hallway with those green torches I like the ceiling detail, the map looks okay so far but some finer details couldn't hurt most screens showed here look empty.

Calling my hard work "dumb" and "stupid" is not helpful. I've annihilated the screenshots, though, as per popular concensus.

Why don't you download it and take screen shots that you think show the map at its best?

Or, better yet, why not play the map and give me some real feedback?

You call it hard work I call making and uploading animated textures an waste of time, I have played the map.

No player 2,3,4 start spots if this was my map I would have put those in, sectors 145, 170, 204, 804, 805, 1902, 1962, 2011, 2435, 3178 are unclosed.

Doombuilder found alot more errors I suggest fixing those which can be fixed, lowering ceilings and raising floors to make an solid pillar is not the right way to create them.

Hows that for feedback...

The hard work is what is displayed in the pictures, not the pictures themselves. So, you're saying that using gifs is stupid? Or that what the gifs displayed is stupid? Regardless, stupid means nothing and is the opposite of useful feedback. I can create pillars however I desire, you don't get to tell me the "right" way, I'll do what works.

Doom builder found hundreds of errors that were not errors, mostly missing sidefs that aren't missing, they're editing tricks that doom builder can't sort through, but given that I've never had any problem with the unclosed sectors you mentioned that prevented me from playing the level, I never became aware of their presence. So, thank you for pointing those out to me. That is useful feedback.

Yes using gifs is dumb and an waste of time.

Sure you could make pillars like how you desire but the way you create them is more time consuming but it seems you like to waste time so anyway keep making them like this.

additup · Post by **additup** » Sun Dec 02, 2007 0:21

The level runs just fine, ergo, clearing out the pillars would be the way to waste time. As for the gifs, trying new things is the way to gain skills and fresh modes of self-expression. But hey now! keep on swinging, slugger, you're bound to score sooner or later...
