Freeing Up Slot Space

[Doom_Dude]

Due to four members of the NDCP team no longer responding to emails and or Private messages over a long period of time they have been dropped from the project. Lut, Face.Uk, Derek and Archvile64 have not been seen or heard from after repeated attempts to contact them. This frees up five map slots. Both Sparky and myself have agreed that they should be dropped and if they ever do re-appear and wish to have a finished map in the NDCP megawad then they'll just have to wait for a slot to become free again. That's assuming any one of them wakes up from whatever sleep they're in. Heh. Sorry for dropping anybody but we would like to get this project finished this year if possible. The following maps are now free if anybody wants to do a map.

Map03
Map09
Map16
Map27
Map31

I'll hold map27 for Ninja_of_Doom who said he wanted to do anouther map in the 20's.

[iori]

Well you could replace my map 31 with, say, map 17. That would be awesome ;).

[Doom_Dude]

Consider it done. ;)

[PumpkinSmasher]

nice to see more progress is coming along

[MasterOfPuppets]

omg...must.resist.urge.

damn i wish i could take one, but i'm coordinating a Community Project on Doom Wad Station, which i do not wish to get distracted from.

hey, if you ever deside to do a NDCP 2 i'll be on board.*drunk*

[Doom_Dude]

That's very understandable MOP. Gettin distracted bad. :D

[PumpkinSmasher]

I would take another slot, but I'm concentrating on Doom Zephyr right now, and life is getting in the way of working on it a lot, so i don't think I'll pick up another slot right yet.

[-Ki-]

Hey when I'm done with my first map I'll gladly take another if there still there! :)

[Sparky]

it was also decided that any member that is currently doing a map cannot take another slot until there first map is finished
this goes for new members wanting to do 2 slots aswell

this doesnt count for people that already are doing 2 maps at once

[-Ki-]

Thats why I said WHEN mines done if there is still a slot open I'll take it.. I'm over loaded as is X.x

[Sparky]

i was just saying :p had nothing to do with what you said

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Ah so you DID see my question DD. Good. I've been itching for an excuse to map again and my tech legacy project just sucks. Hellish dark maps are mine.:p

[Torn]

Well, I'd like map03 if I am allowed to take a map again. :)

[Doom_Dude]

Ok cool. Ninja got map27 and Torn map03...

[Sparky]

lol. DD you seem to be taking over project leader :p

[iori]

Back ta work, ya yellah-bellied SWABS!

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Now I just have to put some time aside from ET to do this.:D

[Doom_Dude]

project what? *guilty*

[Torn]

Hey btw, can I get the password for the texture wad. Maybe one of the team members could PM me?

[Doom_Dude]

Done!

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Also done.:p My maps getting well done so far. I'm aiming for a Monster Condo look and feel to the map. It seems ok just now. Screens later.

[MasterOfPuppets]

secret texture.wad *gasp*

[Doom_Dude]

Well we still have three slots opened.
map09
map16
map31

By the way. Just heard back from Lut in email. He said he can't do his map anyhow due to being really busy and stuff...

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Well I just learned how limitng it is to do vanilla editing. The map I've got done just now just isn't right. I'm too used to designing for legacy wherer I have more flexability. As a result I withdraw my map from the project. So map 27 is now another free slot.

[Sparky]

aww :( are you serious ninja? i thought everyone knew that vanilla would be limiting

[FATAL]

Well, not for me, since I've never mapped for anything else than vanilla *cool*

[-Ki-]

Yeah it was a bit odd to not map for Legacy in this project :P I'm so use to Legacy stuff I got to keep reminding myself "this is a normal doom2 map"

We need a legacy project like this! yes.. yes we do!

[Mystic]

yup we do but lets finish the vanilla one first. Could always make fancied up legacy versions of your maps too, just to keep yourself happy, thats what I do, my map06 for freedoom became sekkusu, a massive 3d extravaganza for legacy.

I wish I hadnt rushed that one out so fast, its funny, sometimes I cant wait to release a new wad, I get all hyperactive and anxious, then as soon as its uploaded and Ive told everyone about it I load it up in legacy then notice loads of bits I want to change.

[MasterOfPuppets]

then as soon as its uploaded and Ive told everyone about it I load it up in legacy then notice loads of bits I want to change. same here.

[Doom_Dude]

So map 27 is now another free slot.

Ooh well. You did the one map so that's good. ;)

map09
map16
map27
map31

Thats 4 maps. I'll do them myself if I have to. :p

[MasterOfPuppets]

well... one map couldn't hurt.

i'll take map09 then. you'll email me all the stuff i need to know, i presume? my amazing email addy (firestorm@darkasylums.net)

[Doom_Dude]

Ok MOP got map09. :D

All you need to know is were making it non-port specific but a limit removing port will be required to play. Were not following any theme and maps don't have to look anything like thier Doom 2 counterparts. The resource wad holds some new textures you might want to use. I'll send you the password for that.

[Mystic]

yay, well, looks like this is going to actually get finished sometime soon. I wonder if the rest of the community still hates us here at newdoom. I like being part of the militant vegetarian wing of the doom community

[Doom_Dude]

Yeah It'll get finished.

These are left:

map16
map27
map31

[-Ki-]

I'll do them myself if I have to. :p

Not before I get a crack at another map when my first is done! :D

[Ninja_of_DooM]

DD if you do all those maps you'll exploed IMO. How can you juggle that many maps anyway? DON'T mention megawads.:D That's just an excuse.:p
Are there any slots on the legacy project?

[Doom_Dude]

Like I said I'll do them if I have to. I'm hoping that somebody else will take up the slack so I won't have to do that but I'm very determined to get this done. If that means I gotta do the last 3 or 4 maps myself I'll do it. I really want to see this project get finished...

I can reinsert my Lavaplant map if I have to. :p

What Legacy project? That thing died I think as it never left the ground.

[-Ki-]

Someone should start it up again. Shot I'll start it up again if anyone wants to work on it ^.^

[PumpkinSmasher]

Well I'm trying to start a Legacy DM project, if anyone happens to check the Legacy Forums. We are definitly taking our time on the project though.

[Doom_Dude]

I forgot about that. I prefer to think about this until it's done then go from there.

[PumpkinSmasher]

You know what I'll put Zephyr on Hold agian, and take Map16. I can take my first stab at a city map. Never tried it before, so I hope it looks good.

[Doom_Dude]

Okay PumpkinSmasher. ;)

Two slots left.
map27
map31

[Wicked Anime Kid]

I'll take map31 if that's possible:D

I'd love to make 1 map for the NDCP:D

[Doom_Dude]

WAK got map31

map27 is llast open slot.

[PumpkinSmasher]

looks like this project is rolling along again

[Wicked Anime Kid]

Already have a name for my map DD

Unholy Church:)

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Hey WAK, how's that Legacy project I haerd you were maiking coming along? I've got an old Legacy wad here I never bothered to finish If you want it to finish or at least use for reference seeing as Legacy's all new to you.:)

[Wicked Anime Kid]

Oh i'll finish that map once the summer holidays begin:)

And i've figured legacy's structure out so making a 3dfloor map is a piece of demon:D

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Well if you want to make some good quality 3D railings just ask and I'll send the wad your way. I told you making 3D floors would be simple once you knew how to.:D

[MasterOfPuppets]

I'll take map31uh oh. you took the secret map. now you have to make something really crazy.:p

[Ninja_of_DooM]

Yeah:) Every secret map I've seen has some weird theme to it like a multi colour theme from Alien Vendetta or something like it.:D

[iori]

Well, it doesnt have to be crazy like that, guys. Since it's been established that the secret exit to map 31 wont be hidden, there's no concrete reason to make the 'secret' levels krazy at all, because really theyre part of the map lineup now.

[MasterOfPuppets]

you heretics:D

[Doom_Dude]

Not only that but the maps don't have to be anything like thier doom2 counterparts. heh.

Roger that WAK on the Unholy Church title.

[Sparky]

im glad things are starting to ppick up, but for how long? :p

[Doom_Dude]

im glad things are starting to ppick up, but for how long? :p

I dunno project leader person. :p

[Ninja_of_DooM]

I agree it's good that the maps don't have to be like their DooM II counterparts but the last thing we need is a UAC base level stuck right in between something like The Spirit World and The Living End.:D

[Wicked Anime Kid]

Unholy Church will be as the title says it.

It will be a hellish map with all kinds of "weird" stuff in it.

I guess I should try to do what you expect me to do;)

[PumpkinSmasher]

Well I've started up Map16. It seems to be looking pretty good. For the first few areas.Though if anyone decides to put a clear texture in the resource wad, it would be used. Hmm I'll try to think of a good name for the level.

[MasterOfPuppets]

heh, i still haven't gotten to map09 yet. i'll get there though, as soon as i finished this zdoom map (which btw, is badass)

[Doom_Dude]

If nobody wants map27 I might have to do something about that. :p

[-Ki-]

I'll take it once I'm done with map19 if it's still open by the time I finish!

[PumpkinSmasher]

hmm well i'm having a bit of trouble with my map. I am using Legacy to Test it, and in OpenGL mode the map looks great, no flaws. But in Software mode, there are a few problems with it. So I was wondering if you would rather me make it work for OpenGL or for Software.

[Sparky]

for software. all ports use software :)
cant you do both?

[Doom_Dude]

Software mode ugh. :p It should work with both methinks. What exactly is the problem?

[PumpkinSmasher]

some texture alignments and such appear perfect in OpenGL, but are off in Software.

[Sparky]

well, if you fix them in softgware, should it be fine in opengl then?

[ReX]

Well, it doesnt have to be crazy like that, guys. Since it's been established that the secret exit to map 31 wont be hidden, there's no concrete reason to make the 'secret' levels krazy at all, because really theyre part of the map lineup now.
Amen. Map 32 is the polar opposite of "crazy" (unless you find one of the secret areas), despite being a "super secret" (heh!)map.

[Doom_Dude]

Crazy ReX. :D

Pumpkin that sounds like you have GL driver problems or somethin. How can textures be in a different alignment?

[Mystic]

I think its a legacy flaw, I remember when I released grail2 it was fine in opengl but some of the textures lined up wrong in software. I never use software mode normally so didnt really care.

same thing with a few of my 'mystic' series of wads, the ones with the 'void' areas in them dont work in software mode.

[Gu-X]

Heh If theres any slots left (which I doubt there are) I'll help in anyway I can; I love helping out with communitys 'specily one as cool as this one.

[FATAL]

I don't know about those things, I just (pretend to) work here.

[Lutrov71]

I'll take map27!

[DoomedAce]

*Off topic* Who took my old slot, map 29? And what has become of it? Just wondering *smirk*

EDIT: Map 27... Wasn't that the old Monster Condo? Hm... Interesting..
*Digs in, waiting for a chance to snatch the slot*

[Doom_Dude]

Lutrov71 got the map 27 slot that was vacant. Sorry for the delay but I don't have much time for doing NDCP stuff lately.

[DoomedAce]

I'm no longer in for map27. As far as I heard from Sparky, I can do map29 now, which I'm already working on. (Check the Post Up Your Maps-thread for a WIP shot)

[Doom_Dude]

Yeah I know.
