    I'm pretty sure I'm years behind in playing all of these amazing wads...great work, everyone.

    Doom Core Delta (10th Anniversary Edition)

    Given the issues surrounding MAP01's music (and my own failed attempts at getting the track to loop properly, besides being insanely loud) I wonder if DCDelta and Eternally Yours would be good candidates for a midi project?

    Doom Core Delta (10th Anniversary Edition)

    Wow, that would actually be amazing to have available once you're finished - it'd be nice for the trilogy not to be stuck under the ZDoom tree. I know I left some mistakes in the trilogy release I've been meaning to patch for a while (namely the map titles) but if there was anything else amiss I'd be happy to address it.

    DOOM Retro v5.2.1 (updated January 12, 2024)

    Hey Brad - it's been a while. Had a couple of strange errors happen recently: -I was testing out a rocket jump with IDDQD enabled, and for some reason I wasn't getting the normal push-back you get from firing a rocket directly at the wall. It was pushing me in random directions. I later learned it had to do with me using the Kill Monsters command, so I wouldn't have any distractions when testing it out. I guess it's not exactly a major bug, but I thought to bring it up nonetheless. -I played MAP30 of TNT: Evilution recently and the building staircase to the red key bugged out and didn't reach the top. Same thing happened with the staircase in the Icon of Sin area, as well.

    What are you listening to?

    Soothing.

    Tips for making good, balanced mega wads?

    Think about what it is you enjoy about megawads, and study everything you can about it - layouts, monster encounters, how certain enemies/weapons are introduced (gradually or all at once). Also, consider what source port you'd like to target for the project, as it can give you more of a specific goal and it helps to shape the personality of the gameplay experience. The 'vanilla' experience can be more lightweight in terms of visual work and map size, while limit-removing can lead to bigger vistas and larger group encounters. That's not to say either experience is exclusive, though - it all comes down to your personal preference and what makes you most excited about it. You'll have to convince yourself before anyone else when working on a large project. Another good practice is to keep a notepad/document and make a list of potential map names, finished maps and any other useful notes to remember. It could be music tracks, texture packs, sky boxes or anything else you'd like to play around with. Just don't confine yourself too much with a specific rule set, as you should be allowed to experiment and keep the fun of it going in any way that works for you.

    The Dean of Doom series (companion thread)

    This accurately describes my early mapping experiences - I'm rather curious about the source of this image (sorry if this is off-topic).

    Unusual request, but, are there any "relaxing" wads?

    Try Oceanside - it's based on my hometown and mostly uses pop/rock midis.

    This is Woof! 12.0.2 (Dec 13, 2023)

    @Lila Feuer Those skulls aren't actually shootable switches, they were just decorations. The red switch unlocks one of the northern buildings over the waters which holds the red key.
  11. Hopefully that STEPTOP texture gets fixed as well - it can always be replaced with something else since it tiled vertically on my map.

    TNT 2: Devilution (Final beta released)

    Some more feedback - sorry I've been out of the loop. Played MAP12 in the first beta and switched to beta 2 afterwards because I forgot about the updates. Continued on HNTR. MAP12: No problems here - almost thought the arch-vile was a bit much until I spotted the rocket launcher hidden behind the nearby pillars. Only spotted a bleeding texture in a couple of sectors (sectors 75 & 76 - sorry if this has already been addressed in beta 2): MAP13: Almost felt there were too many Pain Elementals on easy, but given the large amount of rocket and shotgun ammo it made things much more manageable. The two arch-viles near the blue key were a bit of a scare, but thankfully block lines made them easier than they appeared to be. I don't think I have any real complaints about this one. MAP14: It seems cruel to have two arch-viles (sector 813) teleport into the nukage pools for easy players; I would either just have one or none appear on the lowest difficulty. I might cut back slightly on the revenant usage for easy players.

    DOOM Retro v5.2.1 (updated January 12, 2024)

    Hey Brad, nice update! I do seem to have a problem with it mysteriously crashing on me - it's somehow related to changing the r_ditheredlighting option. I was able to play just fine at first with it turned on, but turning it off would cause the game to crash upon choosing a difficulty setting.
