[Dutch Devil]

Map26 is about 25% done.

[Logan MTM]

Map30 is about 99% done!
In fact, he is 100% but i don't like of something and i don't know what is... *confused*

[ace]

99%... you know the drill. ;)

Also at this point you might as well pray that you get the conglom back at all. I am working on it though. I swear! :p

[PumpkinSmasher]

If you could get to me by the end of the month, I would appreciate it, but don't rush yourself on it.

BTW: Map19 is still listed as free, I have started a map that is probably at 15%. I'm just not sure it fits into that slot too well. So for now I'll keep my map as a back-up.

[ace]

Will do. My motivation seems slightly higher now (though it still comes with a side of ADD :p), so it shouldn't take THAT long.

I was actually considering claiming the free slot until I fell into this motivational slump... but after all this I think I'm going to leave it be before I end up torturing myself again. NO MORE TEAM MAPPING EVER. ACK.

I don't see why you shouldn't take that slot though (and you could always switch with someone else's spot if they don't mind, to make it fit better), seeing as you haven't had a map of your own for this project. You're the project leader, after all! Honestly! :p

[PumpkinSmasher]

alright I'll take it for now, I may have to rearrange its location later.

[Osiris's_Legacy]

I realize I haven't done much work on it yet. It's still at 35% due to assignments. But there will be no more this week or next week, so I'm free to map now. Might have it done sometime next week, I honestly don't know.

[FATAL]

Still mapping.

[jetflock]

lost my internet for a couple weeks. guy just came to fix it. still polishing things in map 17.

[Dutch Devil]

Sheesh I'm miles ahead of everybody else :p what about screeshots Fatal I haven't seen an damn thing from you yet.

[PumpkinSmasher]

Since Nuxius has been missing for months now, I'm going to list map20 as empty

[FATAL]

Sheesh I'm miles ahead of everybody else :p what about screeshots Fatal I haven't seen an damn thing from you yet.
I am most certain that a screenshot of my work has been posted at some point.

Besides, screenshots are overrated.

[Dutch Devil]

Oh then I have missed that screenshot :( of course screens doesn't tell you how the map plays but it sure is nice to look at :)

[jetflock]

finished fixing my maps. will send soon.
EDIT: Ok, I started trying to fix the dehacked patch. It seems that zdoom really handles the dehacked patches diff than prboom/legacy.
As far as the monster actions, they seem to work fine left as they are, any slower and they are no real challenge.
The player screams worked best with the "gun turret" marine clone, though in Zdoom, it WILL NOT work for some reason, which is annoying.
pro's about zdoom:
the gun clips do not fall out of the "kamikazee demon".
con's:
the sounds I picked out won't work in Zdoom.
Since the ports handle things differently, I believe I will use generic zombie sounds for the turret guy, and fix the lit sprites for the "kami-demon".
So, I should be sending all of this stuff in soon. Any input-let me know now for the monsters, I plan on finishing that tonight.

[jetflock]

[PumpkinSmasher]

@jet: The new baphomet idea looks nice, but what was your plan for the clear area behind the brain, it may cause HOM if left as is. and by 'may' i mean 'will'.

[jetflock]

oh, heh, thats just a thumbnail! the brain would actually be john remero, there would be a sector behind that. also, that was a 2 second jobby-i do however have the whole brain animation done-it was originally going to be used in atmosphere.
I actually have 2 animations for it, it may even be possible to make it pulsate.meh, just another idea i guess.
edit: anyone up for another conglom map?
edit: was bored and made part of a map with the resource.looks like a nice one. I would consider doing map 20 if nobody else is interested,for the sake of getting this stuff done-at the very least its a backup map.

[NetNomad]

Still around 30-35%. I need to approach this differently, I think... right now I have some big open areas I'm not sure what I want to do with, yet. <_> Also, finals coming up in a month or so, ugh...

[PumpkinSmasher]

I'd prefer to have someone new or someone with just 1 map take slot 20, but I guess if that doesn't happen then your map could fit in there well.

[CrazedImp]

Still going here, I'll get a good lot of work done on it soon.

[jetflock]

ok, let me know if nobody fills in 20, otherwise, i am done mapping FOREVER(or atleast till next ndcp):)
edit: how do those extra graphics work for you Pumpkin? curious to know! :)

[Macro11_1]

Progress report...

map 02, 60%
that other map, 20%

[MR_ROCKET]

I'm going out of town for a few more weeks again.
PS, when ace gets done with the conglom I'm going to need to fix a few minor things in my section also if thats ok, let me know.

[PumpkinSmasher]

PS, when ace gets done with the conglom I'm going to need to fix a few minor things in my section also if thats ok, let me know.
Sounds fine Rocket, I'll let you know.

@Jet: The look good to me, I'll include them in the next resource.

[Raptor Jesus]

Been a while since I've updated but I had to restart my map :(. I didn't really like the way it was coming out. So I'm at about 20%. Shouldn't take me long.

[jetflock]

meh, nevermind. delete post.

[Raptor Jesus]

40% I spent most of today at school planning out my map XD. I just have to finish mapping it, then add enemies and health, and I'm finished :D

[Macro11_1]

Hey, good news. I just counted and I only have 11 + (a few extraneous rooms that I want to add) left to detail on my map 02.... then I can finally get the beast populated with things and get it Beta form! w00t!!
But on that other map... oh boy... Well Ill get er dun as soon as Macroly possible...*dark* But only if you all want to wait :)

[Raptor Jesus]

Is the resource that was updated a few weeks ago still the most recent version?

[PumpkinSmasher]

Res 8 is still the most recent. I'll try to get a new one going soon, but finals are nearing for me, so I need to focus on school atm.

[Raptor Jesus]

Kay, I have some textures. Should I just give you the textures? Or put them in a wad? I haven't put them in my new map as of yet. Probably will soon if I want to keep a castle themed map.

BTW, what map is going to be warping to mine? I'd like to know so I can set the beginning up right and the ending.

[Osiris's_Legacy]

Lets see....not too much progress at the moment, school is killing me with assignments. I'd say I've gone from 25% to.....28% I think. I'm trying to find some time to map and I'm pretty sure this weekend I'd be able to get my maps up to 50% at least.

[Macro11_1]

One more day! Just one more... then exams are done im so happy I could just
Just
JUST
JUST
JUST!!!!
*plop*
By the way, It seems to be slow going around this forum as of late... is it just summer where every one realizes there is an outside again?

[Raptor Jesus]

is it just summer where every one realizes there is an outside again?

I hope no one does because this would never get done!

[jetflock]

lol. c'mon guys we are almost done! :)

[g6672D]

Reinstalled Doom, Doombuilder and found my map. Time to get back to it! I'm 35% done.

By the looks of things, someone will be making a thread titled "Is g6672D going to make it?"

[Raptor Jesus]

Har, I'm 50% done with the map itself. I then have to do monsters and weapons.

What map is warping to mine? I'm making map32.

[PumpkinSmasher]

Map15-->Map16 AND
Map15-->Map31-->Map32--->Map16

If you have anything that needs to be in Res9 put it in a wad file and send it to me. I'm not sure when I'll compile it, but let me know so I'll have it.

[Raptor Jesus]

Ok, so 31 goes to mine. Now, I must contact whoever is making 31 and see if they have an ending yet.

[Osiris's_Legacy]

I am to make 2 exits correct? As to these exits, who is doing 16 and who is doing 31? Just need to talk about whos creating what exit ect.

[jetflock]

16 is conglom map.

[Raptor Jesus]

My map is 45% done. I'm pming steve88 about his map right now.

Hmm... methinks Steve88 doesn't exist. I don't see him in the members list.

[Macro11_1]

Heh, cool... Life has resumed :) Anywho... As per update! Daily progress HAS RESUMED! WOOT, oh and ONLY 10 MORE ROOMS TO GO! WOOOOO...... :)

[Raptor Jesus]

[jetflock]

Well, I still have this spare "map20", wanna use it as a base for another conglom map? Its fairly nice looking so far.

[PumpkinSmasher]

sounds good to me jetflock

[Raptor Jesus]

PS, you get the textures I sent?
