Progress

unless... you put the camera at the end of a long hallway and maybe gave the players a couple closets

That actually got my brain going in the direction that got me the idea for the level I'm working on now.   It's going pretty well, too.

Btw, whenever I play Pro Zorchmatch Arena I'm always bugged by things that aren't quite right or don't make sense. Could I send you a fixed version for you to just copy the whole thing over, not just add the things you noticed?

Sure. I've figured out how to add and delete maps in the wad, and it's pretty easy. Back then I was worried doing stuff like that would corrupt the wad, but it's no big deal.

to me it looks like he's in mid stride; his right leg is closer than his left leg and the back foot's on the ground. He's about to put his front foot down. But I do agree, it should be flat when firing.

nah, it'll look really great! the perspective is perfect...

just to prove it to you I'll put him in game...

...

good thing I only have to fix two rotations.  :facepalm

good catch guys. The perspective is correct... for a titlepic. Close up it looks great, but far away, it looks like he's standing on one foot while firing. I might have done the entire monster without realizing that that stance only works for up close

I thought so. But oh well, everyone makes mistakes. I've made many more than I can count on this project alone.

EDIT: The Deserted Halloween Town is coming along nicely; wind and incindiary pumpkins are complete, fully functional, and in my opinion, quite cool. Might finish tommorrow.

Okay, here's my fixed DM01. Also a fixed CTF02 (there were some missing textures, a few slightly wrong parts)

DM01 - I don't like the sides you added to the bleachers, it should be open so people can easily jump from one side to the other. If you block that path, it's harder to jump from one side to the other. It might look a little nicer, but it makes it harder to get around...

Also, the texture you used for the sides lacks detail.

I see you fixed the ACS for the map. That, I will put in.

CTF02 - hmm... what did you do? I looked carefully but it looks and feels the same...

Okay, I guess I won't try to be realistic anymore...


CTF02 - Like I said, I fixed some missing textures/HOMs and stuff like that. Just because you don't see anything immediately doesn't mean I didn't fix anything...

where are these missing textures at?

Do you not use the Map Analysis Mode (aka Check Map Errors) feature in Doom Builder?

[LAZ Trooper]

Okay, here's my latest map (LAZ16), and don't tell me it needs something changed. I spent four days on this. Anyway, so this is a zorchmatch map, but it almost feels like it could be an actual level in a mod, or it could even be turned into an invasion map if you added more on to it (which I may just do...)

It's nice 

this would make a great invasion map. I recommend hubble images for the skybox http://hubblesite.org/gallery/

They're free to use

Arboretum CTF Is almost done! All I need to do is configure the cameras, and create a Deathmatch variant.  I may change the music again though. Shall I make a poll?

[75]

I'm going to redo some of the enemy placements INV03 and INV04 to make the levels a lot harder. Before, it was actually pretty easy to beat the levels, just stand back and hold down the fire button.

The next version will be much, much more challenging. More like what I did with INV03 and INV04. You won't be able to coast through them anymore.

oh, I wanted to mention something...

Not all missing textures are something to worry about. Sometimes it's just a linedef where no texture is needed.

[QuadrumpusGuy]

Yeah. Less Common Felmoids would be good. Maybe more flem mines and Quadrumpi. Also, feel free to put Caeruleus on roids since he can be downed by a team throwing chain lightning, frozen orbs, freezing missiles, rail zorcher shots, etc. in less than a minute.

Yes, but there was one or two in the main part of the map, in places you could possibly see (although not easily normally). I'm somewhat persnickety about this stuff.

[75]

I looked through it, most of the missing textures were invisible, but I fixed the ones that weren't. A couple missing light textures and a box that didn't have a back side.

I've got an invasion map almost complete, and if we're still on for tonight we could test it out. It's based on MAP34 of TNCQG2, and uses the insane boss.
