I wanted to add some bells & whistles from my newer weapon packs long time ago... Updated bulletholes, since they now gonna be really hot and get cold from time to time. Updated impact VFX for bullets. Enjoy some sparks and dust clouds, I guess. Added tossed linkers for UKM-2000. Added decorative empty mags for TT, Saiga-12, AKM, SVD and UKM-2000. Yay! More junk to the battlefield! Added distant sounds for explosions of PG-7V missile and grenade. Wait, what? Added ability to quick kick. I suggest key [Q]. With berserk you gonna one-kick Imp with 100% probability. Added ability to quick grenade toss. I suggest key [G]. From start you can carry 5. With backpack you can carry 10. Search for it near single PG-7V missiles. It has 10% chance to appear.

Here is a link to the latest version...

Here's MAP05 finished. Very nice map. The ambush in the marble block-house gave me the willies when I ran out rockets for the ArchVile. I was being very cautious at the ruined house where I died in the last demo. I'll play some more later. I played DBP36 and enjoyed it so I'm looking forward to the Aquatic Wonder portion.

If I may offer one criticism; the music, although fitting is a bit loud. If this is a problem on my end please ignore it but if not, it means I have trouble hearing monsters and I take some dumb damage for that (chances are I'd take dumb damage anyways).

Thank you very much for playing! Here I thought MAP02 was my best one. Your criticisms make sense now in hindsight. I really appreciate your feedback.

@NoisyVelvet you're really not missing out on anything. All Heretic will do for you is change your definition of the word "monotonous".

I have switched to routinely use modules for my boom/mbf21 Doom maps, the range of sounds achievable is insane and there is a lot of untapped music available. Imagine your map not having Plasma or You Suck...

@Cuppykeks Really awesome ideas! I especially like the middle eastern, tower and tree house ideas.

As for the map I started, it could go in a few possible directions. Just made a couple combat scenarios, including a combat puzzle designed around pushing gaspods, and started making a central area. As of right now, I'm thinking it'll be an interconnected town-style map with gothic architecture. Want to also make it perched high up in the mountains if I can pull that off, but not sure since the sky has to be at/above player level to avoid getting wonky.

I also had some ideas for a magic-themed map set in a wizard's tower/library, including an area with portals to strange and varied settings.

Made using Duke 3d textures almost entirely, it's used stylistically to create dilapidated and grimed city environments, its difficulty is easy, but with a couple traps that will kill you if you get too cocky. Very DBP-like in terms of quality, creativity, length, and even an exit-less final MAP06.
The map contains some voice acting by the authors for the zombies, I didn't really like them, but it gave the wad some additional Duke 3D character.

A newbie's effort at making a map; it's got plenty of small visual errors and it's very easy, but it's fun and has charm; it reminds me of The Unholy Trinity, and MAP31 from TNT with its basic rooms, but with the author's own custom textures that give the rooms architectural purpose.

Hey, @joe-ilya . Thanks for trying it out and sharing your opinion. I get that you don't like it at all, so I imagine there's not much reason in explaining every bit, and also find that what you say sounds logical, especially when it comes to weapon changes made.

One thing I would like to say is that none of the sprites are my work and that I have been using Realm 667 lower tier monsters that I though could be easily altered to fit vanilla enemy slots and brought over from zscript/decorate without much alteration of the frames. 2 of those monsters are likely based on Imp "stencil", one on pinkie and of the other two one seems to be based on the other.

I like ArchVile clutch kills when your health is too low to survive the flame attack.

You've been in the community for 4 years, yet you make the same kinds of wads over and over just like this one.
This is a huge load of random assets taken from Realm667, and level design that looks exactly like the mock layout on the right.

Well so far I'm loving it! I like how you made some modifications but kept it really vanilla, its awesome!

Important info regarding the Firemace:

Heretic's Firemace only has a "~75%" chance of spawning in total at one of several Firemace spawn points placed on the map. Even then you can only place a maximum of 7 spots for the mace to spawn. When the MaceSpotCount reaches 8 the game has an error. In deathmatch, the firemace will always appear, but there will still be only one on the map.

So the Firemace weapon pick up doesn't work the same as the others as it's not guaranteed to spawn in, even if you only have 1 Firemace spawn. It's coded this way to be a rare weapon as with the Tome of Power it kills all non-boss enemies in one shot being extremely powerful.

Thank you to @SilverMiner, @lobo, and @zedonk for the information.

Testing a bit I'm not sure just how random it is which mace will spawn out of several 😵

I had a partially done map for this sitting around, and I decided to finish it up in the hopes it can get included.

crescent_cliffs.wad

Map Name: Crescent Cliffs
Map Slot: MAP23 (for the MIDI)
Music: whatever was in MAP23 of the resource
Tested with: DSDA Doom 0.25
Difficulties: implemented
Multiplayer: coop starts placed, additional multiplayer monsters and ammo, DM starts placed
Play time: likely 30-45 minutes
Notes: This map leans more on exploration and incidental combat; it's the TNT to Lucky Clover's Plutonia. It still has a few combat setpieces, but everything is more free-flowing and less tightly choreographed.

Apart from screenshots, video, theme etc, I like to consider the wad author.

awesome trailer I'll have to try this

Thank you)
