Chex Quest levels using DOOM graphics

I think it would kick a** if we made a megawad that recycles the general information of the Chex Quest levels, but re-applies them with Doom textures.  I have noticed that some textures have looked discrepant when using DOOM2.WAD as a PWAD to keep E1M1 unaffected for transformation to DOOM resources, since DOOM.WAD and DOOM1.WAD have an E1M1 slot that woulda been overwritten for the DOOM gameplay session.

Here is footage of me playing a Chex Quest level with DOOM2.WAD as a PWAD:



I would hafta believe that the Storage Facility level (E1M2) would make a good UAC-themed level since the Chex crates are based on the UAC crate textures.

hmm... you look familiar...

the easy way to do it:

extract all the patches from ultimate doom, and put them in a PWAD. Then, launch it with chex.wad as the IWAD.

This wouldn't work with chex3.wad, though, and there'd be a few patches lost in translation.

The safest way to do it would be to go into doombuilder and manually apply new textures to the chex quest maps.

It could be kind of cool if you did something like modify E2M5 into something like E1M3 of ultimate doom, but the idea doesn't interest me that much.

Would a Nuclear Weapon work on the flemoids?

It would probably fry and splatter the slime in all directions, but in a few millennia, the slime would manage to congeal in a single area and reform into a new radioactive flemoid. ::)

The whole idea of using DOOM graphics in chex quest level designs is to give a whole new theme to existing levels (though some texture tweaking should be done to make the level more graphically consistent).

There'd need to be some serious refitting involved to make it work, but I'm sure it'd look pretty awesome, especially the sewers and caverns levels.

LOL thats what I meant when I said that XD

If someone does do this, it should be built into a 32-level megawad for doom 2 with other things implented like newer enemies and such. Kinda like this:

MAP01 - Landing Zone
MAP02 - Storage Facility
MAP03 - Laboratory
MAP04 - Arboretum
MAP05 - Caverns of Bazoik
MAP06 - Spaceport
MAP07 - Cinema
MAP08 - Chex Museum
MAP09 - City Streets
MAP10 - Sewer System
MAP11 - Central Command
MAP12 - United Cereals
MAP13 - Villa Chex
MAP14 - Provincial Park
MAP15 - Meteor Spaceship

Other details would include renaming the Maps into more Doom sounding names, and maybe another 17 levels from other popular wads converted too, like The Lost Quest (7 levels) or Strifes levels. (also 7 levels)

also, although its dormant, Generation 2!! (UBERHARD, but still.)

I would love to do this, but I have too much projects going on already.
