Hey Guys.

Invasion Unleashed - Evil Within (Invuled-EW) for short is going to be the sequel of Invasion Unleashed. Been a while since the release of Invasion Unleashed where there were some good maps, some fun maps and the "crazy" maps.

This time, we are going to try a few different things and hopefully put the Invasion game-mode back on the map.

This project will also be Survival Friendly as well so if anyone wants to, they can try their luck on Invasion Survival to give people a good challenge and to use team work while the maps are not that hard to the point that everyone looses.

Spoiler: Screenshots - Note: These are work in progress and are for one map at the moment - suggestions/feedback is encouraged :D (Open)

I am aware of some changes that need to happen on the map so far, so do not worry, Will be fixing those soon :)

Anyone can help out on this project by either submitting maps or by helping us testing... or the best of all.. providing feedback on our progress.

There is also a sub forum/section that has appeared recently, and contributors will gain access to it to get the necessary resources needed to map for this.

Anyways cheers guys. If anyone wants to make a map or test, just post in this thread.

Spoiler: Mapping Guidelines/formats etc (Open)

Map format: Zandronum UDMF

Can use any textures you want, as long as we can get the permission to use them.

Custom monsters/weapons allowed, as long as we can get permission to use them, or make them yourself. You will also need to make a CustomInvasionSpawners in DECORATE.

Must have skulltag_data_126.pk3 and skulltag_actors_1-1-1.pk3 as resources in doom builder to get most of the pre-made items and functionality.

ACS scripting knowledge is needed because scripts are required to make invasion work.

A typical Invasion map normally has a start area where monsters start spawning then it opens up to provide goodies/weapons etc per wave. You can design the map any way you want, as long as it looks decent and plays nicely. I expect some detail in the maps but I do not expect a map to contain over 9000 sectors worth of detail. Basically detail and game-play needs to be balanced.

Feel free to use any opengl features such as reflective floors and quake 2 style skyboxes. 3d floors can be used also, I did it :P

Sure. I'll keep note of that for now. I got to get the sub section that was made fixed and set up and I'll give you access to it.

Hahahaha. You know I can not do this alone, but I shall try. Wait.. this will be a team effort to be honest. Only future can tell yo!

Would you be mapping or testing?

Speaking of which, Tib said hes making a map for this :P

Screenshots look good. I'll be wanting to test this since I am not a very good mapper.

Wow, long time without seeing an invasion project. I wouldnt mind to help with 1 or 2 map for this

Screenshots look good? They look bland as fuck. But it's early days I guess, gl with this.

For sure, count yourself in as a tester.

Sure buddy, I am currently making a resource pk3 which contains some custom monster spawners and other goodies. It will also contain some handy ACS needed to get the maps flowing since most of invasion is scripted. You can either wait for the resource pack or you can go ahead and start mapping now :P

Yea IDE doom, hes right. I still gota add some decorations and other fancy shit to make it look good haha. I will say it is better then what I could produce back in skulltag days. As far as structure detailing goes, Im kinda outa ideas, but I will think of something!

I loved first Invasion Unleased and I'd be glad to test it's sequel!

Are there new monsters or just killing 500 cyberdemons like other mods do?-_-

Sure :)

Yes there will be new monsters. This was also the case with the very first Invasion Unleashed and various other invasion wads.

Looks fun. Would love to make a map for that.

Through, what do the maps need? What format? What textures?

Oh my, I forgot to mention that.

Ok, I'll run it down here and I will update first post.

Testing and maybe giving some advices. I'm pretty busy with my WDI map and my Superdemon map, and I'm not even sure if I could handle any more maps :<

Alright, no worries :)

As long as there's no "anime mansion" ...

Ænima your post reminds me of a hentai map for invasion (armageddon I think), though the hentai room was hidden.
None of that please.

The whole reason I mentioned it was because it was from the original InvUnl.

Do you want void-style map? (MAP32 of jumpmaze is an example) I think I started making one earlier but abandoned it, I can return to it.
