Title: MM8BDM Mapping Competiton #1 - WINNER!
Post by: CutmanMike on February 01, 2011, 01:35:06 AM

It's time for a new compo! Custom maps have been around since the ol SGC demo so let's have a mapping contest.

(http://static1.freeaddictinggames.com/thumbs/992.jpg)

You are competing to get this medal: (http://cutstuff.net/forum/images/medals/badge17.gif)

This competition involves making a map for MM8BDM, specifically for one on one duels. Duel maps can be as fancy or ugly as anything but the beauty lies in the layout. To keep things interesting, please read the specific rules below.

RULES:

The map's playing area MUST BE NO BIGGER THAN 2048 x 2048 MAP UNITS. You can check this by drawing a line on Doom Builder 2 and checking the number displayed on the line. Scenery/skyboxes etc is fine, just as long as you can't walk past the 2048x2048 limit!
 Submissions must contain ONE new map that can be run with MM8BDM launcher (via add file).
 Submissions must only include map data and MAPINFO. No new textures, weapons, actors etc.
 Feel free to add custom music, but it will not be judged on this.
 To get an idea of a good duel map, look at MM1DW1,MM1DW3, MM4SKU or MM6TOM.

Submissions are to be sent to me via PM. I will judge the entries based on how well they work in an actual 1v1 duel. I will stop collecting submissions on the 13th of February, and the winner will be announced shortly after.

Learn how to make maps here (http://cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=841)

Good luck! Feel free to ask questions about the rules, or editing questions here!

Ok here's our playthrough and results of the competition!

If you can't understand my awful voice then... ner ner ner ner nerrrr. Watch the end of the second video to find out who wins!

Hey Cutty, can the max size be 2048 x 2048? Because I really would love if the max sizing would land on the blue grid in DB2.
Or is asking for a full 32 64x64 blocks too much?

Does the entire map have to fit in the 2048 by 2048 area, or just the playing area?  The entire playing area in my map is exactly 2048 by 2048, but adding windows and decorations (inaccessible to the players) takes it beyond that limit.

Because of my skybox, my map breaks the 2048 by 2048 area rule but the playing area doesn't. Does this mean I'm diaqualified?

1) I don't see why they wouldn't be.

2) Just just open up one of the official maps in Doom Builder to see how it's done. There is only 1 known Doomer who actually cares if someone looks at the source of their mod (Lol SST).

And where would I find the official maps to look up in Doom Seeker? I can't find them anywhere in my documents or downloads.

By the way, if you're either lazy or don't know how to make spikes deadly, you could have just said so or not said anything. You didn't have to give me the same answer everyone else has handed me.

You have to extract the maps with slumped!

If you use scripts, add a script from one of the official maps with holes so it says "fell too far" on the sector with the spikes! The spikes themselves don't hurt you, it's the floor that does!

Of course, renaming .pk3 to .zip then extracting the maps you need. Then open them in Doom Builder. It's so complicated that you must throw a hissy fit and complain that I'm not spoonfeeding you how exactly to make "spikes work".

Doom, all I wanted was the answer to one question from someone, not something. It wasn't like I was asking you how to make an entire map. I needed to know how to make one function work. Instead, you chose to give me the runaround even after I told you at least twice your method led me to a dead end. Yellow Devil, on the other hand, just gave me "115" and I figured it out after I still couldn't get a simple reply. If you can't answer a question directly, you don't know the answer. I'm tempted to call you out on unsportsmanlike behavior since you have an entry, but that would take more time than there is left in this contest and wouldn't be worth the trouble. Understand that I am still new to map making and the only map-based informational topic I could dig anything I needed out of was CutmanMike's beginner course. I found nothing else, so I asked and ended up right back where I started.

Had you not answered at all, I would have been content to wait for Mike. I only asked you further because you gave an answer that I needed clarification for and you ended up giving me crap and dragging said crap into the boards. Next time, I'll wait for someone who will be straightforward.

Title: Re: MM8BDM Mapping Competiton #1 - Duel Master
Post by: TERRORsphere on February 09, 2011, 10:15:27 PM

I believe this quote is in context here. I don't enjoy arguring.

Quote from: "Ivory"

I've been in this community since long before MM8BDM. I've watched it change and grow.

Do no confuse me for being an elitist. I'm not going to spoon feed someone information. I'm going to direct them to where they can answer their own problems. When they figure out their own problem, they become better at it. Only if they cannot do that, and I know the answer isn't that obvious. THEN It'll give them the help they would expect. But I strive to allow them to walk on their own two feet, as opposed to piggy backing off those of us who have already gone through this process to get where we are.

The ZDoom Wiki (http://zdoom.org/wiki/Main_Page)  and Skulltag Wiki (http://www.skulltag.com/wiki/Main_Page) are your best resources for figuring things out. Else wise, don't ask me how to make a sky box, open up an official map with a skybox and see how it's done. It's fairly simple.

As for mapping. I'm a harsh mapping critic. I will rip bad maps apart. And explain every last reason why it's a horribly designed map. I know some people in the past take it too personally, being unable to step away from their work and see things from an outside, objective stance.
I will praise a map that earns it. A well designed map is a well designed map.

However this community is new, and aside from us Doom Veterans, most mappers here are new and foreign to the Doom Editing world. So they create their maps thinking they've made a masterpiece. If I have to critique it then I will rip it apart and explain every last problem with the map and what would need to be fixed.

If the person can separate them self from their work and actually listen to me, the map can become better. I've been mapping for years, I've developed my eye for good design vs bad design. Something that the newer mappers have yet to develop.

In short, don't confuse me as an elitist. even though you could confuse me for such by not spoon feeding anyone, it's in truth, better then being spoonfed. When you become less reliant on others, only then do you really develop you skills as a modder. I will always point people in the right direction to figure it out for themselves, and only if that fails, will I give the information they seek. I harshly critique maps so I can see the mapper bring out the fullest potential of the map, instead of leaving it as something less.

I do wish for the development of this community. CutmanMike isn't going to be about forever to work on it. When that happens, it'll be up the fan community to keep it alive. And even though right now DTD and I stand out as some of the veteran doom modders in the MM8BDM community, we won't be here forever to guide and explain these things. That is why I try to teach people to be self reliant.

I hope this concludes the argument and now can we get back on topic about actually making maps?

Post by: Prosecutor Godot on February 09, 2011, 10:34:13 PM

You mean to tell me that I only ask for one little thing and you pull this entire spiel when you could have just either answered me straight or told me to look up the Wiki or both? The quote only shows that you knew of how to resolve this but chose not to. I understand where you are coming from, but you just didn't care when you ran me in circles when I stated, clearly and repetitively, that the method you gave me didn't work. You could have at that point pointed me to the Wiki and dropped it. Standout modder or not, especially as a standout modder, you knew better and chose not to do better. Again, next time, I'll wait for someone else's answer.

Title: Re: MM8BDM Mapping Competiton #1 - Duel Master
Post by: Mr. X on February 09, 2011, 11:49:52 PM

He chose not to resolve it because he's been asked this question and others about 3000 times due to people being too lazy to look up the answer.  Look up answers by looking in other maps first, then ask for help if you can't find it.  Instead, you accuse him of not knowing anything because he didn't spoonfeed you the answer.  He wasn't mean to you in his original reply, you were mean to him in your response to it.

MM7 Expansion
This Competition
MM8BDM Bugfixes
And more. (*cough* Oil Slider *cough*)

And Cutty is after all just human, and has a life to tend to as well, as do we all. If one thinks about it a bit, he does have a lot on his hands.

That should not be what this thread is about or any thread for that matter.  You'd better have a damn good reason to say "this map sucks" if you're going to say it.  Simply saying that isn't going to help anybody improve.

Oh yeah, about that..

The file you sent me was the wrong version of Supackin Base. I made two versions of it; one for the mapping competition and one for CSCMP. The one you sent me was for CSCMP.

It was also outdated.

Yeah, I'm the same way now.  Odds are, if it's a map where the bots repeatedly run off a cliff, they're not going to win anyways due to running into an invisible wall.

To show how much thought was put into my AMP01 map and to encourage other people to post about their maps:


The music is loud because ALL the music in AMP-MP is consistently loud.
... bad start to the explanation of my map...

I intended AMP01 to be a "tactical" map. As in, the powerful weapons are in areas with the most paths to them, so they are easy to obtain and are popular spots for the players. You must take your time with this map, you can't rush it or else you get owned. The topspin is only overpowered if you're not careful going round corners. The search snake is used in this map for a very good reason. For camping, and anti camping... In that cramped dead-end room you can camp, but if anyone managed to get in, you'll have to switch to Air Shooter, Top Spin or something because the only way out is through (Or over :p).

I added a large range of weapons because a large range of weapons is fun and no-one likes a limited selection of weapons :). The amount of health and ammo pickups, well... I'm generous, and most of the weapons are very powerful anyway... running out of ammo isn't fun :(


The layout, the way everything is placed was thought out carefully (like every map should). I intended it to be a good duel map so you can predict your target. The level of detail is a little above average. Not only that, every room looks different so it's very easy to navigate. I just hate playing a new map and getting lost all the time. I see mapping as an art and an ugly map is a pile of crap to me (there are some exceptions if the layout is very interesting), so I aim to make my maps pretty with what I have.

I'd also like if other people posted comments about their map :). I'd find it all very interesting about what when through the authors heads when they mapped.

Well I started off first by making a large 2048x2048 square to see exactly how much room that would be. Originally the map had platforming, but it wasn't that cool, so I only kept one piece and made it a second Fire Storm location. I then divided the level up into the open area, and the inside area. It was far too flat. So I made a second elevation in the top right area. Made the map far better and by this point I decided upon making it a Fire Man map. You had room to run in outside, and multiple ways around the inside areas. Which is good, you don't want players to be stuck running circles. I added two stair cases up and a small ladder climb in the outside area. The Fire Traps were mandatory for me. It was a Fire Man map, so I stuck them in the upper half. Played around with the timing then put the W Tank between them. Figured someone would think it was worth the risk seeing as I decided upon limited ammo/health pickups at this point. By this time the basic layout was done.

Didn't take me that long, I think I did the basics in an afternoon. In boredom while doing personal testing with the lolbots, I decorated the floor with patterns. I thought it looked pretty cool.

I also put in a lack of health because one of the most the annoying things in a duel is where health is so common that killing someone becomes a chore. I also put in limited weapon energy to force players to change weapons and cap the likes of Ice Slasher.

Weapon wise, since this was all Fire Man themed, minus hot heads, Fire Storm had to be there. Napalm Bombs was for lobbing off edges and around corners.  Shadow Blade was for general purpose attacking. Ice Slasher was there partly for being Fire Man's weakness and partly for another general weapon. Freeze Cracker turned out to be great for the level. The little ice shards could get around it easily. Finally Air Shooter was a nice close ranged weapon that could also be used to hit up high. Not to many weapons, but not too few.

Item wise, the W-Tanks are useful, but not in general reach. You either had to jump for it, or dodge the fire traps. Tango Roll was also added because it could be used to net a kill or make the other player back off. It could bounce off into the lava. I didn't mind that too much. Well placed Tango Rolls can turn the tide of battle.

From there I just spent a few days playing it with bots and running about like mad in it, trying to find anything that could be exploited, fixing things up as need be. Once I was happy with it I sent it to Cutty. As for the Fire Man music. Nothing better to put there. We weren't being marked on music choice, so I stuck with the robot master it was based on. I also didn't forget the 5 frags left music. I just don't plain like the MM1 Boss theme, It's ultra repetitive.

I think that about sums up what was going through my head. It was about 4 months ago

Okay then, I'll bite.

Back when I signed up I thought tossing up an acceptable map was going to be easy, but I soon found myself in the mapping equavilent of writer's block, as I just couldn't come up with a good layout. So I tried a crazy idea, and based it on that Wily logo. So there was nothing in this place in the general logo, so here's a wall. This other place you couldn't reach either, so I had to block that off. Enclose it a little here and there, adjust the elevation a bit, add a ladde-

It then hit me that, holy shit, this layout might actually work. Going off on a crazy idea isn't a 100% guarantee of success but it's a good idea to try. So I went with it, and decided to texture it after all the fortress levels of the game (although in retrospect that looks horrible so when I release it I will have retextured to just use Wily Fortress textures). I then needed to add weapons, so I decided to pick one weapon from each game. Quick Boomerang is a very good to ambush with, Fire Storm is very versatile both for long range and short range, Silver Tomahawk is a fast, long range projectile, Water Wave can wreak havoc at the people below, and also in the corridor you find it in, which for some reason I completely failed to take in mind, although it worked out well regardless. Dust Crusher packs a major punch, and Gemini Laser is very good to blanket a whole area in a tight space. Add Tango Roll to round it out and give some backup. I too realized the problem with a map that has too much health, so I went with a semi-sparse amount of health and weapon-energy and done.

It's not my best map by far, but I'm still proud of it because it was a very non-standard idea that actually worked somewhat.

I won't release it juuuust yet, I need to do some visual modifications, but it will probably be out in less than 24 hours. Until then, be patient.

i get my ideas from other maps somtimes. my original dual map for this cometition was going to be based on flash mans stage, so i used the basics from his stage like the pilars and a big rectangle layout was what i started off with...but this was my first map so it took me a while to learn this stuff witch is why i was late...the end
