DeathMatch Community Pack (Second map released!)

#1

Post by Guardsoul » Thu Oct 04, 2012 6:45 pm

Hi everybody.

This is an idea that I had after playing several deathmatch maps with some players. The main objective is creating a wad that should have at least 20 or 25 maps that have been made in community. I mean, everybody will create 1 or 2 maps to add them in the wad. But there are some objectives that you should pass if you want to map for the proyect:

[spoiler]- Dont make huge maps, we want small/medium sized maps so the players wont be walking around the map searching for other players all time
- Dont create 2 maps with the same theme. Ex: Dont create 2 tech-base maps.
- Try not to make the maps simetricalls so players can have some fun
- If you want, use all the ACS that you think it will be needed in your map (Have some fun there :cool: )
- Make the maps with a decent level of detailing (THIS DOESNT MEAN THAT YOU MUST BE A MAPPING GOD)
- You can use 3D floors if you want but dont overload it
- Make the rooms big, so players will have some space to move
- Try to make an interesting layaout
- Make automatic doors, dont give free frags to players
- If you are planning to add a BFG in your map, make it really really hard to find it[/spoiler]

New Screenshots!:

We expect that the proyect is finished in 1 or 2 months. So you have time to think and create your maps :biggrin:

Here its a little example of my first two levels:

People working in the wad: 10

Thanks for reading. I hope everybody will join it :wink:

Wow those screenshots look great, especially the first one.

If I have time between work/school and my other Doom projects, I'll try to finish at least one map for this. c:
Reinforcements: midgame Survival joining/respawning
Doom64: Unabsolved: Doom64 + Diablo II
ZandroSkins: a pack made by our community
AeniPuffs: 3D blood and bullet puff effects, free to use for your own mods
Squad Radio: a WASD-based radio chat menu, add your own custom sounds!
Mercenaries (on hold)

If you want, you probably don't want to but, you can take maps that are small enough from Ragnarok DM. Kind of a coincidence for someone to make a DM wad little bit after I release Ragnarok.

Ill see your maps and probably choose 1 or 2 (this can be great if there arent too many maps with a theme in the wad) :smile:

Most maps have varying themes, be cool with any of the maps I made. For those that I didn't make, you can ask authors of them.

I have been making an invasion map for a little while, but I certainly do want to make a map or 2 for this map pack. I'll give you screenshots of a few other wads i made that i didn't release via PM if you want.

I've been working on my mapping skills, so I'll try to have a map made. I might be lacking in the detail department though, but I'll try my best. :P
