Some Doom2 maps

Played the first 2 maps a dozen times now, enjoying a bunch so far.

Since i find FDAs insulting to my intelligence, i can't be of much help in that department.

What i can do tho is to provide some demos of me speedrunning playing fast. Idk if it will be of any use but yeah, i hope you don't mind me breaking your maps (:

UV 100% Secrets (because UV Max is for nerds) ^{recorded on dsda-doom -complevel 2 and all that jazz}

Checked out the demos last night, thanks @panurge those were awesome. And this was a fun excuse to get DSDA-Doom running, which a really cool port I wanted to try, lol.

joe-ilya I watched your demos last night, you got some good moves. I was happy to see you nab the megasphere in map5 on your first attempt, that was slick. I also noticed some monster closets and a few other minor issues that did not work correctly in map5 from that port, but I never had an issue in zdoom. I will have to look into that. And Map2, I swear I saw a revenant rocket activate a lift line-special? Isn't that an old Doom engine bug? Anyway, overall everything seems to be mostly working at the moment, thanks for playing these and making your demo!

Yes, I'm still in-between computers with my Doom stuff, and don't have a lot of time to put into playing on all the other ports, that's why these demos are so helpful. Despite all the great things I've heard about Crispy I have yet to even try it.

Here're my FDAs if you're interested in that sort of things. Everything was pistol started on UV and recorded with glboom-plus 2.5.1.5 -complevel 2.

The maps were fairly good and I'd put them on better end of OG Doom (2) map remix projects. IMO the maps are fine as is, though I've found the use of viles on map02 rather questionable (notably the one that appears in SSG area) and I'm not sure whether the possibility of shooting down that cyberdemon for free in map05 is an oversight or not.

01 Cool take on entryway. Cool designs and nice texture alignment. Reminds me of Hell Revealed 1. My chainsaw did a lot of heavy lifting. Felt like I had to kill a lot of monsters with the pistol before I got that first chaingun. I had a good time, otherwise.

02 I don't remember underhalls having this many archviles
I died a lot. This map is tricky if you don't get the monsters-only operated secret areas. Is there another way to get these? It seems like if I miss them, I'm screwed. To beat this, I farmed some shotgun drops from the shotgun guy corpse seedlings I left near the first archvile which made the rest of the map a bit more manageable. I was swimming in shotgun shells towards the end.

03 Not bad. I didn't notice the floor move up/down barrier in front of the shoot switch. I thought I softlocked the map after I got that bfg secret. Once I figured that out, everything else seemed fine. The fight at the end was a lot of fun. Good job!

04 Oh cool, waste tunnels and the focus mashed up into one! I had a lot of fun with this map. The early soulsphere and supershotgun helped A LOT. There was one moment where I was pretty dry of resources and nearly surrounded by lost souls, spectres and imps, but on the whole there was enough resources for me to get by, which I sincerely appreciated. The baron that spawns in after you activate the trap with all those lost souls kinda sucks, especially if I decide to fall down. Made sure not to make that mistake twice. Little known fact, the window shutters that go up and down stop 8 units above the floor before going back up. In Doom 2's MAP04: The Focus, the floor is sunk 8 units and the inside lower walls are untextured so the shutters close all the way and you can't see it. American McGee is a nut. I had a lot of fun with this one. Very nice!

05 I had to drop off here. I got pretty far before I took a revenant rocket to the back, and I'm out of time to give it one more try . That lift in the crusher room is one of the toughest lifts I've ever had to catch! You gotta be fast for that one! Took me several tries. Lots of cool traps and encounters in this. Nice job. I'd like to give it another go some other time.

I had some time to check out your demos 40oz. You have an interesting approach, from cautious to bold and back again! And some interesting weapon choices. Use those rockets! Why must barrels be pistol shot?? Lol, probably conserving ammo which is good. Really funny barrel kills in map2 as well.

No one has managed this yet, but in map3 all the items in the BFG secret can be obtained by running straight forward. No need to deviate, the teleporters are set up to take you to all the goodies.

About the shutters in map4, I probably did know that at some point but have long forgotten. This isn't the first time I've ripped these off, they appear in some of my old megawad maps too.

OMG the lift in map5! You made this much harder than it is, and the second person to attempt it this way which is so funny to me. You can make the lift just by dropping down in front of the blue armor and running straight for it, then over the little gap with at least 2-3 seconds to spare. You also went right past the rocket launcher which is in a small room on the Crusher platform..that would have saved your skin in the area past the red door! If you make another attempt please record it, these were really entertaining. Thanks again for playing.

Hi there! Sorry, I never got around to uploading this to idgames. I'm planning on adding two more maps but got sidetracked! Thanks for showing interest, here are the maps from my dropbox.
