You should do a “clone” of Doom’s wood5 texture and the set would be complete. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=37Z6qP_u7tQ

Lovely. I was planning to try working with another textures set… But now I may just continue with yours.

I’d love to hear your feedback on what textures you felt like you were missing as you made the map. I noticed a few original DOOM textures in the play through video!

The 64 heights and the lack of textures that tile well vertically was the main constraint (but kinda fun to work with). It works okay for hallways, but for rooms I wish I had taller textures to work with to avoid repetition. The pack provides plenty of support and light textures, but they all have a hard seam when repeated vertically. Except for the rivet bar which I feel I had to overuse a bit. Having textures with metals panel covering the full height would have helped there.

I used original graphics for switches as the textures pack lack(ed) any (except for the one on the door, which is too small as a standalone switch). I also extended the pack with a blue light and door, a door without a switch/control pad and a screen usable as a switch.

Globally the pack was great. Using it for the hallways was a pleasure, I started with that and I got a pretty good result in my first couple hours of mapping.

I really should try making some DOOM levels, I’m just not sure where to start tbh.

This is my first Doom level (except maybe for an unreleased two rooms level in the 90’s), so I had to learn from scratch. I only had a good understanding of how the original Doom engine worked, which I guess helped a bit. I watched a couple tutorial video on Youtube (eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EucWtn__O8Q and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4-5d10dCyQ, etc.). And a incredibly amount of time lurking on mapping channels on Doom Discord servers (mostly #map-making on The Entryway server and the Hellforge Studio server). The ZDoom wiki is also a must. Ultimate Doom Builder and SLADE are the tool of the trade. If you are not on Windows, they work fine with Wine or a virtual machine.

To be able to use your textures pack, you will want to target GZDoom (so your aren’t limited to the original 256 colors palette). So you might as well go with the pk3 format to bundle resources and the UDMF map format which allow for a lot more features (like floor/ceiling textures rotation and offset).

The video is not mine. But feel free to use screenshots of my level on the pack’s page.

I posted about it a year or so ago when it was still a WIP, but I finally finished and released a Doom II level using the textures. https://pbuyle.itch.io/dreary-hauler

Any DOOM-inspired resource pack has to have a selection of slime covered exploding barrels, right? :-D

Some sort of hanging light and hanging cables would be nice too.

I love these grass and plant sprite.

🤗💕

The doors look a bit challenging to make work in Doom. I’m looking forward learning polyobjects with 3d floor. Fun!

Thanks for the update. The dark version seems okay and on par with the other dark textures in the pack.

🤩 📦 The crate looks great (the stone too), but at least for the 64x64 some top textures are missing as the side ones include holes in the bottom for a forklift (or something).

😍🤤

I used 3 sizes of square boxes: 64, 32 and 16 pixels. 2/1 or 3/2 ratio boxes would be nice too.

Started a devlog in case it become something more than WE doodling in SLADE… https://pbuyle.itch.io/unamed-doom-project/devlog

GZDoom, this is an actual Doom level (but not vanilla, I’m using texture rotation on the ceiling and the textures have their own palette).

Got it to work on Linux using GZDoom. Download the Windows or MacOS version and extract the sunsetdemo.ipk3 and sunset_bm.pk3. Use sunsetdemo.ipk3 as iWAD and sunset_bm.pk3 as PWAD. I went through the tutorial and got to the first phone call without any (technical) issue.

Looking forward playing more and the complete game.
