Some maps don't work properly in ZDoom. This isn't intended to be a traditional map set. Instead, it's a compilation of random maps and mapping experiments (for me) with random themes that are sorted by date (mostly), rather than difficulty. Each map is intended to be learned and memorized from a pistol start and recorded on for max runs (not all maps also have an intended speed route). I imagine playing most of these maps without learning them would probably be pretty annoying. The point of the maps is to learn them, plan a route, and record a demo as fast as you can. Most of the maps are bfg-oriented or rocket/plasma-oriented and most people probably won't like the gameplay. Most of the maps are remakes of levels from other games. All of the remakes were built by looking around in-game in the original levels, counting floor and wall tiles to figure out heights and lengths, standing in corners and seeing where other corners line up, using a ruler and the in-game map to figure out general room sizes, etc. The Quake remakes were also built that way (I didn't look in a Quake editor). Though, there are still differences in appearance between the originals and remakes. If you're a fan of any of the games I did remakes of, I think it could be cool to check out these maps even if you don't like the gameplay (play on skill 3 - hurt me plenty - to play the maps without monsters). Intended to be played with these options, if you want: CATEGORY 1 (INTENDED) - prboom-plus 2.5.0.1+ - kills/items/secrets/timer HUD (with "smart totals" turned off) - any resolution + uncapped fps - custom key config for weapons - -longtics - no TAS features (unless you specify your demo is TAS) - turn180 if you use keyboard only CATEGORY 2 - zdoom - freelook + jumping turned on - infinitely tall actors turned off - no bfg aiming - custom key config for weapons - no crouch My key config in PrBoom-Plus is: WASD movement, M1 fire, SHIFT shotgun, R chaingun, Q rocket, E plasma, F bfg, SPACE use, ALT strafe on, MOUSE turning (sometimes arrow keys with my right hand for long sr50) My key config in ZDoom is: WASD movement, M1 fire, M2 jump, Q prev weap, E next weap, SPACE use, ALT strafe on, SHIFT center view, always mouselook, never auto-aim, no BFG aiming, dot crosshair. ///////////// // MAPLIST // ///////////// MAP01 - released April 7, 2009 Don't wake up the revenants MAP02 - released April 12, 2009 Silent Hill 2 remake of the first part of Rosewater Park MAP03 - released April 16, 2009 Silent Hill 2 remake of the start area MAP04 - released April 22, 2009 Silent Hill 2 remake of the Courtyard in the Woodside Apartments MAP05 - released April 26, 2009 Doesn't work in ZDoom MAP06 - released May 11, 2009 Doom2 format version of smedley.wad.

Similar design to Espi's pe.wad MAP12 - released June 6, 2009 Doom.wad E1M1 remake from memory, after not having played/seen the original map in about 1 year, with doom2 monsters. It was Creaphis' idea. Also appears in e1m1mem.zip, e1m1mem2.wad map01. MAP13 - released March 6, 2009 Doom2 format + single player version of my 2 sectors deathmatch map in 2sector.wad (map07) from July 2006.

My unfinished attempt at making cave architecture from 2006. MAP30 - released September 20, 2009 A map with 2 sectors that will certainly be hated by most, if not all. MAP31 - released July 30, 2009 Map11 with the cybers facing you. MAP32 - released July 30, 2009 Doom2 format version of two of the last rooms from flanagan.wad.

Nothing extra was added for coop. Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Difficulty Settings : No - Intended for skill 4 - Ultra Violence There are no monsters on skill 3 - Hurt Me Plenty except monsters that are required to appear in order to progress through the map. That was done because some maps can't be completed with -nomonsters. If playing on skill 3, shoot your gun every once in a while to wake up those monsters so that you don't get stuck. * Construction * Base : New from scratch Build Time : Editor(s) used : Doom Builder 1.66 & 1.68, XWE 1.16, Paint Shop Pro 7, Paint, Cool Edit Pro 2, Power Tab Editor 1.7, Audiograbber 1.82, razorLame 1.1.5, XVI32 Known Bugs : You can get stuck in MAP14, just like in Chip's Challenge. Some maps won't work with -complevel 2. Some maps won't work with ZDoom.
