*GZDoom should work too.

I've been working on a Doom II project for GZDoom/Zandronum/Skulltag (In OpenGL) for a while now. It's totally finished, and if anyone wants to play it and give feedback, that would be awesome. The reason it "requires" GZDoom or Skulltag/Zandronum (In OpenGL) and not regular Z-Doom is mainly because of the sky-box that doesn't work right in software mode. I designed it to be used without jumping, like classic Doom.

It is in Doom II (of course), with 8+1(secret) levels for 9 total. Although I'm not using Doom 64 resources (except for a few things), my puzzles are inspired by that game, because it is my favorite iteration of Doom. I believe it had the scariest, most clever maps ever released officially (although designed by Midway, not iD.)

There's two "new" guns, and one new monster, the boss. Original music for the intermission as well. I tried to make it interesting with monster pacing, and puzzle design, instead of just throwing a bunch of monsters to make it "hard."

I'm not sure what you expect a "Doom II" map to look like other than "Doom".

Ohh Doom, so many memories..

You must not have played many user made doom maps. You only get so many textures to play with... How else would you expect a early 90s game to look?

Indeed. I was playing through Doom 1/2/Final Heretic/Hexen with my buddy in co-op on rainy days over some brews, when I decided to make a deathmatch level just for fun. I became so proficient with the Doom engine, and learned so much, I decided to make a full "campaign." Been a fun little hobby when I have time, but I'll be happy to be finished. lol If you're interested in checking it out, I wouldn't mind compiling it and zipping it up for you. (LOL @ compiling. The node builder for Doom running on an i7 in 2012 takes literally like half a second even for a gigantic map.)

Seriously, this guy must be fighting with his wife at home. I have no idea what drove him to post that reply.

simply put, whats the point of playing just another doom map, some of the mods ive seen actually added content and different textures only additions i see on yours are different lava textures and some new signs so its basicly just another **-hum level

edit: really PGI your filter doesnt allow h-o? the filter must have been designed by a brainwashed christian family that hides from the real world

Ah, doom... a true classic. I wonder what it would look like if it was made today...

Even Quake has seen better times.

Two new guns, hundreds of different textures, a new boss, etc. However, the quality of a level isn't based on what "new things" it adds. Is it challenging (without being silly like adding millions of monsters), is the puzzle challenging but meaningful, etc.

If you aren't interested in testing, that's fine. But you don't have to be a **** about it.

wasnt trying to be a **** was just stating what i saw from the images you left.. all i noticed in any of them was a new sign and a retextured shotgun

Fair enough. I'd feel it would be more honest if you played it and told me it was generic, but I don't expect that at this point. Also, the shotgun isn't re-textured, it's a different shotgun. You're right though, the Doom engine isn't that hard to manipulate. I'm not trying to sell some new radical design, I just have a "story to tell" with puzzles in the Doom engine I've wanted to a long time. I'm not going for the Z-Doom architecture award (although I do try to make it look right), I'm going for a fun level design.

I'll compile something and zip it up. The main thing holding me back is my horrible bandwidth, and the fact that there's a hurricane coming this way. Once that **** is over with I'll provide easy links to everything involved. I know this is the MW:O forums, but I figured MechWarrior would be my generation of gamer. A Doom II project in 2012 has a better chance with this team than many places (Lightdragon aside.)

i would be very honest about it, wasnt trying to sound like a ***** as i used to be very active in the z-daemon community for doom i was just stating that from what i had seen not much seemed different im just blunt about how i put things

[wowchick2021]

doom 3 bfg editions coming out in october, has all the doom games and including a new lost edition that goes with the resurrection evil, this will be mighty fun

[SouthernRex]

And, the project is done!!! Anyone that's interested, I've edited the first post with links.
