Hello, Lobsters! I have indeed played roboenza with you before. Welcome to the forums!

Don't worry, this is the right spot to post this.

Can you post a download link to the maps, please?

[MagnetMan497]

I believe he is making a map pack, they might be released in the pack.

[Korby]

Well, you certainly need to use 255 brightness in your sectors.

Also you should record less sideways  

[Lobsters]

I had a link but I am going to adjust the lighting and and finish up the cave map. I am going to still use deep water for the water. And maybe get a Fraps or whatever it was called so I don't goof up like my previous video. I hope everything doesn't have to be square becuase if it is then I am screwed.

Actually, you can record videos from the 8-bit DM launcher. Simply connect via "connect" tab to your own server(localhost) and change the demo file name(DEMO-223240989-etc.) to something coherent and hit connect. It should record your play through as a .CLD file which others can view with the connect tab. (of course, you can just frap it if you want to put on youtube)

The maps appear to be a good start. Good luck.

Ummm Hmmm I Hope I can get this thing up in a week for download. I'll compse the music I guess but warning if I follow through with this. The music will be very odd. Very odd. I like to use Wario Ware D.I.Y's music maker which has 8-bit instruments and drums but It might sound eghh.

[Lobsters]

Okay my Map pack is done. Unless I geta an influx of stuff to fix. I don't know how to change the frag limit near music. So it just plays MM1 Robot Master Music. Disregard my above post about making the music myself.  The Map songs are from Contra and Super C (Contra 2).  If I knew how to change the Frag Limit music it would be this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD0ES07I2_Q

Link Here Maps should pop up in the offline map select. Well give them a try, I can say they aren't that bad. Except for Stay off the Grass!!

Hm...I noticed a few missing textures in your second map which caused a bit of a 'hall of mirrors' effect. I'd suggest pressing F4 in Doombuilder 2 to look at any errors in your map.

Also, I'd suggest adding a skybox to your maps instead of just making the ceiling textures sky, there should be a tutorial made by DoomthroughDoomTERRORSphere around the forums somewhere telling you how to do so.

Aside from that, it looks like you have the basics of mapping down, keep working on it and you'll improve more.

Seriously what is with DtD changing his name every other day of the week

[Lobsters]

Okay I fixed up the textures and added some things to the maps. I added to new ones. The Maps are NOT DONE yet but will be soon. Some maps had name changes but not code changes.

Map 1 has the water tunnel fixed up.

Map 2 has some more areas added in and some more weapons.

Map 3 No changes except name.

Map 4 Major Changes Expanded. The Base like area is bigger. Added more islands and now have a shack with a secret room.

Map 5 is an outpost tower in a volcano. Some Skeleton Joes are in a prison cage type thing. A lot of death pits given away by lower floor and different texture and plant man grass around it.

Map 6 Ruins area with flooded areas. Only one underwater section. Has 4 secrets.

1. A cave with a ladder that reaches up to a Treble Sentry

2. In the Head shaped cave on the upper area of the stage a big room. Can be reached by walking through the wall by the grass. Has an Eddie, Tango, Shadow Blade, and Exit unit.

3. Behind the tiger. The one closer to the high ground. Needs either pillar spawn or Rush coil. It has a Super Adapter.

4. The super secret. Think most obvious place a secret would be behind. Caution the prize's platform can kill you.

[Lobsters]

Okay I am thinking of starting a new project. And if I do I want to know where to post it so I don't upset the moderaters. It has nothing to do with my Map Pack just to clarify.

[Korby]

Depends on the type of project.

You should probably put it in WIP.

[Lobsters]

I know these 6 maps in this pack aren't that great I'll try to make them hopefully better and
actually get around to making skyboxes for 'em and I'll throw in a map I was making for fun and well I'll get to screenies when
I get progress done.

[Jakeinator]

Hey nice job on these maps! I see that you are getting better (how did you do the water effects?)

[Lobsters]

The current availible maps are ones I made before Visiting Hours    Also for the water effects if you mean the swimmable water/deep water. You should check this out. This is how I learned how to do it. In the video it shows Doom 2 Mapping but it really doesn't make a difference.

(click to show/hide)

Fun Fact: I learned how to make deep water before even ladders and bridges and even skyboxes.

Update coming soon hopefully: Almost at the point were I want to release a beta type ordeal with my horrible on purpose foot race.
