RUSTY CAGE for Doom2.exe wip

I like the screenshots! It has a very classic look to it.

ya that sky is badass, where did you get it from?

The moodiness is pushing a great atmosphere, looks awesome mang

Looks cute. Anticip8ing the release! The sky makes it look moody and dark.
P.s. About flats not working in Vanilla, have ypu tried placing them between FF_START and F_END?

How is this project going glen?

I've lost the joy for mapping these days so the project is not really going anywhere. Map01 is more or less complete, if anybody wants to make something of this then they are more than welcome to use whatever I have here and go for it.

Scratch all that, I feel the joy returning... I will get back on this eventually, and am aiming for six map episode. heh

Good luck, you twat.

I've given this a go now. The first level seems remarkably tough going, with a lot of heavy hitters and serious pressure to keep moving early on, followed by a particularly hard final couple of encounters. You're well-supplied, but I definitely needed saves to get through that without resurrecting. I like it, though. It's open, non-linear to an extent and opens up and unfolds in an interesting way, with challenge stepping up in response to your actions. I'm intrigued to see where you'll go from here, as the player already has every weapon and has fought almost every enemy. Just bigger and harder with varied locales and more Alice in Chains, I guess!

So I’ve researched the music I’m gonna use in the next 5 maps to complete this little episode of mine. As with Angry Chair the map name is determined by the music accompanying it. The rest of the map names are as follows:

MAP02 Desperate Cry
MAP03 Fatso Forgotso
MAP04 Bodies
MAP05 And Justice For All
MAP06 Seasons In the Abyss

Intermission music is now Ratamahatta

Anticipate.

Well, the shitty solution is to make the midi shorter or remove some instruments. Eternal had to do this for Map19 of Epic 2.

I doubt there is any way to compress a MIDI file, in the sense of packing the same information into a smaller file size. You could check to see if there are expendable channels (two guitars panned L and R playing the same thing, common in Doom OST midis for example) or needless/excessive control messages (volume changes, etc.), but chances are that won't save you a whole lot of space. I think your best bet is going to be to actually shorten the MIDIs, which actually isn't too hard in most editors. Since some of your MIDIs are probably actually fully sequenced songs (assuming this is Metallica's And Justice for All and Slayer's Seasons in the Abyss), you can cut out repeated sections and really just boil things down to a few good riffs, Bobby Prince style. It'll probably loop better that way, too. Does require a bit of an artistic touch, though.
