Zandronum

Let's have a first maps ever thread and play the nostalgia game oh boy

The first WAD I ever made was last compiled about two years ago (I've only really been into GZDoom and the like for 4 years). I made 8 DM maps for about 4 players, using all kinds of fancy GZDoom features, added some random video game midis, and stuffed it in a pk3. It's never seen the light of day 'till now. Because it uses 3D floors and stuff it's not compatible with the software renderer at all. The actual mapping was ok but bland, and I had some interesting ideas, but really didn't have a good sense of design or balance.

What were some of your first ever doom maps? I'm actually really curious what some doomer's first maps looked like.

Casually wanders into the zandronum/ST community hello there

I have trouble believing that those are your "first" maps. Maybe by first, you mean "first maps ever made public"?

The first one I made (properly) was this one - http://britishgangsterfilms.com/wads/MCR.wad. I've been mapping for a while but that's the only one I've completed that I'm fairly proud of.

The only "maps" I'd ever made before these were like random test rooms in doombuilder to teach myself how stuff works. It took a long time for me to get these maps the way they are now, mind. Lots of trial and error.

Mine was made back in 1996 with a dos map editor called Waded.
It wasn't pretty.

Now, in more modern times, I pretty much make unofficial addons and stuff, like:
JMod for Master of Puppets..
Refined for RGA2 (new release 6)..

This is not the place for this type of discussion. Moved to the correct place.

EDIT: As for first wad.... a lot of crappy stuff, that I didn't release, and probably never will!

The first actual completed wad i did, was half edited realm667 monsters, and half ripped realm667 monsters.
I'm so bad at decorate, the monsters they replaced still used their melee state [imp etc.]

this is very literally the first thing I made for doom

eventually it ballooned into this horribly overpowered mess

My first maps were made in Doom Builder 1. They were so crappy :333
Doors were nonclipped textures, and generally the quality was something like Wolf3D

My first public WAD was relased today; HeroWars (link belowe)

The first wad i made was BadPlace (released) but i've made other maps before it (years before it) and i still working on it, soon will release it

One of my first maps was something with Wolfenstein textures and no exit because I never finished it.

Spoiler: (Open)

My first complete WADs were some crappy Doom Legacy skins and my first public WAD was an ice arch-vile recolor (using DECORATE translations).

You'll need to have 'limited movement in the air' in...compatibility options? set to true, if it uses a non-default air control. Humorously enough, in the non-default air control, it actually gives greater movement in the air.

The first wad/map I ever made was this :3

NOTICE!
It must be launched with the latest Skulltag! It don't works with Zandronum.

interesting thread ;) sadly the first wad i ever made (andringa.wad) was lost, however andringa2.wad is the closest thing the first wad I made that still exists http://www.deviantart.com/download/1589 ... 4marco.zip (requires skulltag resources)

First wad was a test wad which I tried to make a door. Even now I can't make a door.

catacomb 3D lol, this first first xD

my enemy was doom builder, if I was doing alot of things without test, 100% right it was going to have some kind of problem.
Ahh xwe was my second enemy, ahhhh the times when you saw that the map that you was doing was being opened on doom builder 1 and xwe at the same time...

My first wad was balancemaps, which was my first attempt at mapping. My mapping/ACS skills slowly improved as I was doing it, so you can see the maps getting more complex and detailed.

they were still shit

Some bullshit map I made on a Windows 3.11 computer using WadAuthor....everything I made crashed doom. Much later in the Skulltag days I started working on a test map just to practice mapping, then some map that I abandoned, then finally a presentable map.

My first map was an extended version of E2M9, because seriously fuck that key nonsense at the end.
