This bug happened to me when ZH hosted the same ammount of wads.

Whoever makes those additional patches, please merge maps in one package. I mean Cold Night or Egypt. Also only Jigsaw's map uses just 2(!)skulltag textures and yet server forces .exe to load up load a bunch of unused content, instead of adding those textures into fix. "
I'm making one single file or .pk3 with all addons or maps recent.

I'm afraid to say that I don't like the map, at all.

First off the layout is too cramped and doesn't give enough space to fight properly, so that the fights resolves with a berth or a chainsaw most of the time. Also it's very confusing.
On another note the settings, while might appreciated by someone, doesn't fit with the rest of wad. By the way this wouldn't be a problem if the detail level and the layout was actually better: most of the corridors are plain walls or computers, but what's missing are machines and things you might expect to find in a high-tech facility. Also the marble fountain it's very out of place.

My very own opinion on the map, if you want it as feedback, is that looks like a map made by someone without enough mapping skills to make a nice-looking map using the WDI textures, and with not enough creativity to imagine and build a high tech base; something made for the hell of it, in short.

I hope you don't take this too bad, I only wanted to give you my sincere opinion to help you viewing the things from another side to improve your work. :)
Not to do a shameless self-plug, but do you think WDI11, detail and appearance-wise (I know item placement on the map is likely a bit off), would be a moderate example of a Doom-themed tech base created for WDI?

I found what song D_SPOOK was. It is called "Fear" and it is done by RxKing.

I was going through a talk with abbuw and Roman6a about mapping ideas when I uncovered this burden laying on my HDD. It's unfinished but I thought I would share it here, since maybe someone crazy enough wants to finish it or give me motivation to do it myself. Btw - yes capt this is the map we talked about some time ago.

Is that a long wooden bridge on 4th image from the bottom? Holy fuck, it looks amazing! Just imagine a final battle in that bridge!

Indeed. Would anyone actually want this map finished, at that?

If it's all right, do you think I could finish the map for you?

Now that I look at it, I might actually try to complete it. If I don't succeed however, I will hand it over to either you or capt.

This bridge looks so cool, I would steal it for my own map, if not for the fact that my map is an airship... Ye, this map deserves to be finished.

Saw that new update which fixes things. Well its okay but...why make Echo Ridge so dark? That won't fix anything and takes away the map's original feel. Also, the skybox with the big moon is overused,sorry:\

Yo.

Echo ridge had a white fog-like thing that lagged the map, we removed it for obvious reasons, even though i agree. Removing it makes the map look bland, boring and dark, but yet again it was pretty damn unplayable with it because of the lag. Besides it's a snow forest in the middle of the night, near to a creepy-looking mansion, and i think such places are supposed to be dark, don't you think?

actually forget that, noticed what prepper did on those maps.
calling an specialist to change the sky textures back to their original states

Speaking of skyboxes, is there any good site with them? I just can't find anything that would make "jump out of an airship" ending look hyper dramatical.

But in reality this makes zero sense. One change in color of the fade (white instead of the default black which is how Doom does darkness) shouldn't have an impact on performance the way you describe.

It propably wouldn't lag that much if it was just 1 or 2 sectors with white fog. Those were about 500+ sectors (or something around that, I didn't check it on db). So yea, this kind of lagged.
