OOOh Level Design Is Fun.

Just started to make a new DM map a few hours ago. It's not going to be very big but will feature some new textures and a an altered version of the red Doom torch. It should be done on Saturday or Sunday methinks. All I have is one room made and now I gotta think up what else I want in this map. Other than that I'm saying nuttin' cept that I have a name already.

Damnit, I have no idea how you guys can map so fast!

Might as well map something I figure.

I'm tempted to work on that ZenNode jobby. I'm at a sticky part though and I'm half asleep.

I'm stuck on level 4 of Quake II. I lowered some bridge in the mine and I'm supposed to access it.

* Pops-in for a second

If you have the map sketched out it can be built a lot faster.

*Pops out of editor*

Sketching out a map or a complex room is always a good idea. I don't always do it though. I think I should've this time around.

*Pops back into editor*

Shit I need to fix that texture. :/

plus I love level editing too.

My new DM map is almost done. I altered the burning barrels today and that is kinda kewl. Hmmmmm, wonder if anybody did that before? Oh well, somebody probably did......

No idea. Can't wait to see the map.

Tommorrow night should be a release day I hope. I'm still messing with the little things. The map itself is done as far as the layout goes.

I'm wondering if I should leave the rocket launcher and the Plasma gun out? (definitely no bfg bs). Its a smallish map and I was thinking maybe just the shotguns and chaingun would be good enough.

Should be. I like those guns in small maps.

I don't usually plan much of my levels out before hand.
I just see what ideas I have while editing.

Planning does help a lot if you can actually bring yourself to do it.

When I say small map I mean about half the size of Templecore....maybe a little less than. I'm leaving the rocket launcher and plasma gun out.

Too bad my little brother never wants to play DooM anymore.

What the hell is with legacy multiplayer? I ran Lavapitt in Legacy SP mode for testing purposes. Now the map is complete and Legacy won't run it in Multiplayer mode. I keep getting 'a wad file was not found' error then it boots the first map in DooM II. I used to get that before. Fuck! So anyhow I booted up my Zdaemon server and jumped in my map with ZDoom and it works fine. So what the hell is up with Legacy? :/

I asked this question in the Legacy forum last month. http://forums.newdoom.com/postdispla...9&topic=001544
Its a bug in the multiplayer launcher.
Apparently if you use map mapname from the console to load your level it works.

Cheers Big_al!! I was thinking there was a Legacy file missing or something wacky going on. I hope they fix that danged bug soon as it's not very fun to type in all that shit in the console. :/

If you're using a wad with texture, flat, music etc. replacement you can run the game with "Single Map" using your file(s) and then use Legacy's ingame multiplayer to get things going.
