-Old Intro-
It's time for the next installment in Superfast mapping: domination! Superfast Deathmatch had a domination conversion done by me and apparently that was good, so it's time to make a dedicated megawad for domination. Superfast CTF was not very good so I have reverted back to a better ruleset (and CTF speedmapping is always iffy anyways). Me and Argentum will as usual be handling the bulk of the wad, but members of the community are more than welcome to contribute. If finishing time is near and people don't complete their maps, they will be replaced by us.

-Rules-

- You have 1 hour and 9 minutes to create a domination map
- Name maps as SFDOM## (replace ## with the map number)
- Doom in Hexen or UDMF format
- 8-16 players
- No prefabs or copy pasting other stuff into your map (no cheating, we can prob tell lol)
- Use whatever textures you want, just link me the sources.
- Make sure the map works with & without jump, crouch, or freelook.
- Don't put exits in the map.
- Pick a Title/Song/Sky for your map; anything you leave out, we will fill in
Domination Specific:
- Each map must work with 2-4 teams, so no symmetrical team maps with "bases".
- ONLY put in deathmatch spawns and a player 1 spawn. I will personally handle all the team starts, and this saves you time anyway.
- Tell me any domination points and their names. I'll do the sectinfo.
- Domination points require a non-sky ceiling + less than 255 brightness in order to render properly. A 64x64 FLAT20 slab always works.
- No large domination point sectors.

-Slots-
Red: Map is unsubmitted.
Orange: Map submitted, but without edits.
Emerald: Map is ready for online testing.
White: Map is finished!

-Tips-

- Have a plan before you start.
- Optimal time management should be 30-40 mins on the layout, 10 minutes on the item placement, and the rest on texturing/detailing. Placing domination points literally takes 1-2 minutes.
- Each domination point should be an important part of the map and connected well with the others.
- Avoid dead ends or a lot of wandering.
- Making the maps as kind of a deathmatch map with more focus on the points works very well apparently.
- Don't bother too much with aligning every texture perfectly or with bunches of little detail sectors. Detailing really should just be selecting appropriate textures and maybe aligning the ones that need it most.
- Don't waste too much time trying to create perfect geometry.
- The time limit is not an excuse to make a lazy or purposely bad map. Make sure you are still putting in effort.

oh yea I made a cool video too with a hideously fleshy map (thanks arg...)

For me, Aeondm and ... an mspd update.... are nearing completion so I'm gonna be cranking out progress on this real fast after that. So fast ppl will think twice about the word unfinish. So fast it's like a speedmap in 1 hour. And 9 minutes. Damn, that's fast.



fast and fun
