Doomworld Mega Project 2023: Professional Mapper Edition

Here's some FDAs for TOD and memeboi maps: www.mediafire.com/file/szm6t7wsyq8xvmi/fdas-walt-dbmp23.zip/file
Recorded with DSDA 0.24.3, -complevel 9

- Grey Nightmare: Fun small basic map, is this your first map? Fun stuff, i found some textures misaligniments but this doesn't hurt my sensibility that much...

- M3: Creepy, beautiful map! Probably one of the best i've played of your stuff! Got some strong vibes of good 90s map, loved the abstract dark town outdoors.
  Now, on the bugs i found:

• I don't known if it's me that doing something wrong, but how the bars at the start can be opened? By shooting the other prisoner voodoo doll in the cage behind you? From the other side opens up the middle bar.
• The doors in this corridor doesn't open for some reason
• This other corridor isn't large enough to walk in, letting you stuck in.

I started "something". 'Should eventually turn into a small techbase on the rocks. I plan on adhering to the "no 3D mode" challenge and feel confident so far. Will continue eventually.

@wereknight submitted a couple graphics to use as INTERPIC and TITLEPIC, thanks!

^another plutonic island, cool

Alright. Here it is:

Name: Island of No 3D Mode
Midi: Attack Ship - Covert Assault from Perfect Dark (sequenced by Joel Luben)

I did get some much needed help from the Map Analysis Tool, which feels like cheating but does fall into my personal restriction of 'No using 3D mode'. I haven't booted the map up yet and will not touch it until ToD does. I will be interested in seeing how far off this map is from my mental image of it. Let me know if it's even playable.

My baby is BEAUTIFUL!

-The beginning was supposed to be quiet and ambient and unfold slowly, but pretty much everything on the map wakes up right away and it's a front-loaded brawl.
-Alignment issues everywhere.
-The random STARTAN2's that show up here and there are hilarious.
-So many heights are messed up.
--Cacodemons frozen, the same cave isn't even fully closed and supposed to open later.
--56 high doors only open 50 units, so you can't even go through some doors, but thankfully I lucked out by having the other wall drop down.
--I goofed up some crate alignments, and fucked up the crate stair leading up to a much desired rocket-launcher.
--final exit area has a revenant teleport in early.
--The north secret area has all sorts of heights messed up,
---That terrace should be like 64 units higher, and much more subtle of a secret.
---The chaingunners are supposed to be in a trough that you expose, not exposed to the central hub's terrace.
---multiple wrongs here made a right w.r.t. accessing the BFG secret, which on their own would've made the area inaccessible but instead make it accessible, just in a different way... but still resulted in a softlock area.

And the map is still mostly functional 😎

Sounds nice! This is my first time, so do I just make a map and then submit it to you when I'm done with it? Will you automatically put them in place?

Thanks for a submission from tonytheparrot in a pm on doomworld. There were some bugs with the lowering floors and the exit wouldn't lower, so I joined some of the sectors, added wall textures, and fixed the exit. I only played it with iddqd, so try it at your own risk.

I made another quick one! It's a very small and gray map, no idea of how this comes out at all.

It also uses two more restrictions: no usage of 3D mode and make a map with a never used editor (in this case Slade 3.2.2

No, no, it's a bug that i thought to have fixed, i wanted to use that door texture as upper but in the rush of mapping i left it as middle.

Thanks for the submission, and just in time before the deadline It's cool to see another map with no 3d mode, that probably should've been a rule from the start. I didn't notice any bugs and left it unedited.

Thanks to everyone who submitted for trying out this year's rules, it was an interesting experiment
And thanks to Doomer Boards for hosting this year's project. Not sure yet what next year's theme will be, but looking forward to hosting it on Doomer Boards.
