Doom maps in DoomRL
« on: January 05, 2009, 12:16 »
I was wondering what Doom1/2 maps would look like in DoomRL. So I tried converting one.

Doom2 Map01:

It's mostly to scale - it may look a bit stretched compared to the original due to the font. I'm not using the 80x25 terminal size obviously. Also, the bottom of it seems to have been cut off for some reason, probably went over some kind of limit.

The � symbol means fence (can shoot/look through, can't pass); The purple ? symbol represents a (secret) door that gets opened via a lever/switch or running over a trigger of some sort. The X symbol means an unclimbable raised platform. I should put some more X's in a couple places, but I can't be bothered.

Some of the items and monster spawn points have been shifted/omitted to keep the level layout clearer.

Errors are likely.

Fiddled with the color values, noticed that DoomRL exports several color values wrongly. Ie: imps and doors get "brown" but end up looking red, whereas "olive" looks more like the in-game color.

Thank you for telling me about that armor and shotgun location. Now I can get a higher score.

On topic: I tried it the other way around - copying and running the DoomRL wad file. Didn't work.

Well, I hope you didn't EXPECT that to work, don't you? =P

Nice idea though, that map thing will be nice when modding is going to be possible.

I like the idea but many of Doom maps could not fit into the DooMRL because of triggers, lifts, fences, at last heights. It would be nice inplementing a Diz level instead of Spider's Lair but I think it wont' fit.

you didn't know about the armor or the shotgun? how about the RL and the chainsaw? 100% secrets on Hangar is vital if you aren't cheating...well, you can skip the stimpack :P

I wasn't intending use these in any near-future build of DoomRL. Just more of a curiosity/fantasy thing. And hey, maybe DoomRL will support linked levers/switches in like 2 years, who knows!

Anyway, another map. Probably won't be doing any more of these until I get a good ansi/unicode art editor, doing this manually is tedious.

Had to split it into multiple images in order not to get the bottom cut off.

Tried matching colors to the textures used.

Aqua ^ symbols are invisibility globes. Red & symbol is the exit switch.

While this is the ultraviolent spawn placement, it goes to show how much harder DoomRL is compared to Doom2, given an identical layout/situation :)

How about E1M1 from D1? It was a hidden level in a ages old DoomRL version, but I couldn't fit it into the playing field -_-.

BTW, how about a contest for a ( DoomRL size ) special level to be included in the game? :D

Original special level or DoomRL version of FPS Doom level? In any case, I'm all for it.

Done.

How to get here: Dunno yet. Possibilities are:
1. Red stairs on level 24
2. 10% chance on any level 25 spawn
3. Go down regular level 24 stairs with no BFG in your inventory

I found a sorta decent text-art editor (ASCII Editor at http://studenten.freepage.de/meph/ascii/ascii.htm), so I decided to try D1E1M1, "The Hangar".

The program "Doom Builder" is nice for viewing Doom map files.

Attached at the bottom of this post are pictures of the map in Doom Builder, as well as the directly scaled 78x45 ascii version.

For the 78x20 version, I've tried to make it "appear" to-scale by taking into account the 8x12 font used by DoomRL. I resize the full-scale ascii image to 2/3 of its height, then re-arrange the rooms around each other to make them fit, while still retaining the original topography. It's not perfect though.

78x20 version

Main issue left is what to do with various "secret" doors/areas, since the various triggers aren't there anymore.

80x25

Still needs to be a bit smaller for DoomRL. DoomRL is 78 by 20, including the mandatory border walls.

I think we should have levels based on the Wolfenstein secrets. :V
