[DoomedAce]

Ok, getting a little confused here... Sparky told me I could have map29 when I PM'ed him a couple of days ago... But if someone else is already doing that map (i.e. Paul) then that's fine with me. Just please be clear about it, cause I don't know what's going on... :/

EDIT: Ok, you changed it now *knownot*

[PumpkinSmasher]

My map 16 is finished and can be found at the end of the thread titled Map 16. I stll don't have a name for it, but suggestions would be useful.

[Doom_Dude]

Hehe I was still editing the thread when you posted DoomedAce and I was just in Pumpkin's thread and asked for a name. Do you guys live in here or something? :p

Anyhow I made your level red in the list PSmasher. ;) Just come up with a name.. Encrusted Realm or something...

[DoomedAce]

Do you guys live in here or something? :p

Close enough. The HTML hole where I usually crash is just around the corner from here *wacky*

[PumpkinSmasher]

Do you guys live in here or something? :p
Its my home away from home.

Anyhow I made your level red in the list PSmasher. ;) Just come up with a name.. Encrusted Realm or something...
Alright i'll be thinking hard. The Realm of Encrustedness maybe. lol jk. I'll come up with something soon.

[FATAL]

Well, my map has changed, so it'll be called Identity check.

Yes, we WILL do ANYTHING to make your life a bit harder, doom dude *wacky*.

[Doom_Dude]

All set up Identity check. :p

[PumpkinSmasher]

how about 'Upon Necropolis" as the name of Map16

[Doom_Dude]

Sounds like a good name to me.

[PumpkinSmasher]

Woot! we have 18 maps completed. We keep inching closer. And DD you cna update the first post with 'Upon Necropolis' as the title of my map. And if anyone wants to do anymore bg testing for that map it would be appreciated.

[iori]

If you'd change my map 17's name to 'Songs of Stone and Shadow' please 'Dude I'd be happy ;)

[DoomedAce]

I'd test map 16, if I only had the password *smirk*

[iori]

You dont know the PW? I'll PM it to you then.

[PumpkinSmasher]

Now that you have the password you may want to download the resource WAD. It will give you plenty of more textures to use.

[Doom_Dude]

Names added /changed to the top post and the site iori and PumpkinSmasher. :)

[MasterOfPuppets]

Map09: Untitled // MasterOfPuppetso i'm sorry. i mentioned that i wouldn't have time for it awhile ago. please, take me off of the list and get somebody else in there asap, i woudln't want my little miscommunication to slow the project.

[Doom_Dude]

Thanks for re-letting us know.

[Nuxius]

Is there any way I could take Map 09 then? Or has someone else already taken it? I've been working on a few already; I'm bound to have at least one of them done before mid November, probably even by the end of this month.

I'll try to grab some screenshots later today either way.

[Doom_Dude]

Ok you have the map 09 slot Nuxius.

[DoomedAce]

Now that you have the password you may want to download the resource WAD. It will give you plenty of more textures to use.

What if I'm using a few of my own textures? Do I have to send them in?

EDIT: OK, I tested all the maps downloadable so far, and I must say I'm impressed. In all honesty I didn't expect them to be so hard to beat from scratch on UV.
That is, I always create my maps in such a way that they are still fair to beat on UV, starting from scratch. Seems I'll have to punch my difficulty standards up for this one *smirk*

[PumpkinSmasher]

You can send your textures to DD or merge them into the resource WAD and send it to DD.

[iori]

edit: nevermind

[DoomedAce]

Uhm.. Yeah.. I'll just add my textures to the newdtex wad and then send the whole thing to DD *knownot*

[Nuxius]

Ok you have the map 09 slot Nuxius.
Cool, thanks. :)

[Doom_Dude]

Welcome to the team. ;)

[-Ki-]

I'm thinking of calling my map Blood Bank. But I'm not really sure. Guess I'll come up with it when the maps done and tested. but Blood Bank is the temp name I'm calling it.

[PumpkinSmasher]

Sounds like a good name Ki.

[-Ki-]

It was just a odd name that came to mind doing one room, or rather one area cause it looks like their prossessing blood..

[Lutrov71]

Map27: No Brakes. I'll be making this with Cyber-Menace too.

[DoomedAce]

I've been thinking... A lot of hellish levels have poetical names such as "Fire walk with me" (AV, Map29) or "And Hell followed" (Ultimate Doom, MapE4M?)

Maybe I should rename my map "Strayed from Sanity" or something. What do you think?

[FATAL]

I like to make the map's name somehow represent the map overall. I haven't thought about hellish map names though. Your sounds fine, Ace.

[DoomedAce]

I don't know... I'll leave it at "Oblivion Awaits" for now. But I'll keep thinking about something even more original.

(w00t!! Four-figure-postcount *drunk*)

[Sparky]

i like Strayed from Sanity :D

[DoomedAce]

I noticed that the texture wad doesn't contain the right map names as they are now. If I may I'd be happy to change them to the current ones. Even if it is just to lift a bit of work off DD's back :p

[iori]

Anyone want to change the NDCP font too? I would like to, if it were allowed...

[Doom_Dude]

I noticed that the texture wad doesn't contain the right map names as they are now. If I may I'd be happy to change them to the current ones. Even if it is just to lift a bit of work off DD's back :p

Well I didn't make those graphics soooo talk to Exl about that.

[DoomedAce]

Oh, so that's actually Exl's job? Fine by me ;)

[Doom_Dude]

I think he may be on vacation. ;)

[Sparky]

hmmm

this is true about the map names
i think we should wait untill the end of the project to do that
cus you never know how much it will chnage before then :)
it would just be a waste of time and effort atm

but if you want to design new fonts and stuff go right ahead
id like to see what you could come up with, maybe we will use it

[PumpkinSmasher]

EXL probably just used that font program he made for them. If someone has it, they could make them. I know I had it once, I dont know if I still have it on here.

[DoomedAce]

Did Exl simply type the level names with a program that can make use of the Doom font, or did he just copy-paste individual letters after another to form the names?

EDIT: Nevermind. I found a thread about Exl's program and downgrabbed it. Thanks Exl, wherever you are :p

[FATAL]

I'm a bit lazy and tired right now, so could someone show me this program DoomedAce is talking about?

[Doom_Dude]

Wait theres a even better program -Ki- came up with that....
*roots around for the name*

[DoomedAce]

What program is that?

[DOOM_GOAT]

Bitmap Font Writer (http://www.stefan-pettersson.nu/site/bmpfont/)

For convenience, Ki also made a set of doom fonts to go with it.

Fonts.zip (http://www.zen32541.zen.co.uk/fonts.zip)

[Doom_Dude]

Yeah that program!
I never got around to trying it. heh.

[FATAL]

Great, that's just the kind of program I'll be needing in my map.

[DoomedAce]

I decided to change the name of my map to "Strayed from sanity". Also I'd be willing to re-create the map names in the texture wad, updated of course. But I don't know what font Exl used.

[Sparky]

why not make new fonts? like the newdoom font or somethin hehe

[DoomedAce]

"Make"? That's a good one.
*adds to vocabulary, between 'copy' and 'steal'*

[Sparky]

well, we stole the newdoom banner for the sky hehe

[Exl]

I'm sure I don't have the font that I used to make all the text anymore. I'm wondering where you found my bitmap font writer program though, since I don't remeber having it uploaded anywhere.

[Doom_Dude]

I'm sure I don't have the font that I used to make all the text anymore. I'm wondering where you found my bitmap font writer program though, since I don't remeber having it uploaded anywhere.

I have it here someplace. You had a downgrab linkage in a post about it at one point.... if my memory core is correct. :p

[DoomedAce]

I've been playing around with some new fonts, but so far Exl's is still way better. I'll show y'all some results tomorrow.

[PumpkinSmasher]

http://zephyr.doomrepublic.com/files/doomfont.zip

That is a link to EXL's Font Program, but it doesn't seem to work with Win XP, though i know it worked when I had 98. MAybe it can be fixed to work with XP.

[DoomedAce]

Thanks, but I already had the program. I'm simply looking for a another/better font than Exl's, since he seems to have lost that one.

EDIT:
Here's a font I've been experimenting with. Personally I don't think it worked out too good, so I only replaced the first few level names.
http://img3.exs.cx/img3/961/GCS15.th.jpg (http://img3.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img3&image=GCS15.jpg)

I think I'll just modify the original Doom font a bit. Add some shades. Different color. That sort of stuff.

EDIT EDIT: Meh.... I give up. I have neither the tools nor the skills to do this graphics stuff. If you want me to simply use the original DooM font to replace the level names and stuff, then I can do that. But otherwise I'll just pass this on to some more experienced graphics designer.
*sigh* Oh well, guess I'd better get back to mapping

[Exl]

I don't think I ever had the "font file" of that font. I typed all the text in some different font then applied a series of effects to it. However you can still extract each character from the current font gfx inside newdtex.wad and create a font file for that BitmapFont program to use.

Just don't look at me, please.

[iori]

DoomedAce - I think It should just be the same ndcp font, just recoloured, as you have it there (for everything but the map title).

[Doom_Dude]

Time to abandon this puppy and start a new thread on the subjectoid.
