Am I going to have a finished map by the end of this? No, but that's okay. I'm still very happy with what I do have! I plan on calling this red lava cavern level, phlogisticated.

An issue I've been having recently with ultimate doom builder involves the 3D edit mode. Normally when you shift+left click a wall it should select all the adjacent walls with the same texture, but sometimes it doesn't work at complete random. Also when you shift+left click a selected wall it should deselect all selected walls and floors, but now that doesn't happen anymore. It's really starting to get in the way of my mapping. What's going on here?

Here's what I have of my map so far. My plan was to create a red lava cave map mainly using otex in boom format. I'm really happy with what I have so far. (Those first two pictures are the ambush I started with, significantly more detailed then when I began tho) I havent implemented the sky yet, I plan to do that at the end.

okay admittedly, I kinda forgot about this project for a bit. I do have a completed map that just needs some tweaking and monsters. Ever since my first post I've added a huge hell Island that the player teleports to to get the blue skull key. This is probably thge most work I've ever put into a single doom map and I'm quite happy with the results so far! (Huh how funny, two pirate ships in two separate maps, what a coincidence!)

Oh man I really want to participate this year, but I would like to make a small request. Very close to the end of September, I had an idea for an ambush that I HAD to create in doom builder before I forgot it. I would've written it down and saved it for Nanowadmo, but I admittedly forgot that Nanowadmo was going to happen. All I have so far is this one small battle and that's really it. Would it be okay if I used that as a starting point in my Nanowadmo project? If not then that's okay, I'd be willing to start on a new thing, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask!

Slow, normal, fast and turbo. My question is how fast are each of these four speeds respectively?

The doom communities musical output has inspired me to give music composition a start. But I dont know a lick of music theory or any of that sort. Does anyone know any good resources for learning musical composition?

Well that was a simple fix. I Uninstalled and reinstalled the video and sound drivers and things are fine now. Thanks! Probably wasn't UDB but what I do find odd is that this isn't the first time it has green screened on me like this, but it is the first time where it had any effect on my computer.

Just about an hour earlier I was using UDB (Ultimate Doom Builder) when the screen was suddenly filled with a dark shade of green, "eh no biggie" I thought, "this has happened before and nothing bad ever happened". I decided to turn off my computer and turn it back on again. Now the sound won't play out of my monitor's speakers (I'm using a TV as monitor BTW) I can't open any files in UDB without encountering an error that halts me in my path, and now all the games on my computer have begun to run unplayably slow, and probably some other problems that I haven't noticed yet. I've tried shutting down and restarting and neither has worked, and as a computer pleb I don't know any other avenues that might help me fix this bizarre issue, so I now turn to you. Does anybody know what the Hell might've happened and, more importantly, how to fix it?

Hey Baby, you come here often?

Can't believe I managed to miss the big launch. So cool to see this wad out. I think we all know that Map 8 is clearly the best map in the set by far. In all seriousness tho I had a lot of fun working on this and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it!

I've had this half finished tropical island themed level sitting on my hard-drive for way to long and it's been begging to be finished, here's what I have so far.

I'm curious to know the process by which you create your music, do you start with a melody in your head and plan everything out, or do you just make stuff up as you go along? And another question, do you believe that knowing how to play an instrument is necessary knowledge in musical composition or is that more of just a helpful tool rather than a necessity?

I've always wanted to learn how to play an instrument, and I feel a piano would be a good fit. Does anybody know some good starter pianos that aren't too expensive and some good places to learn online?

It's been nearly a year and still no one has claimed the Map06 slot. It almost feels like it's calling to me. I've never actually tried to compose a song myself, but I've always had in interest in possibly giving it a shot. I should just go through with it, the universe is giving me this opportunity and by god I'm gonna take it. So count me in, if anyone has any tips for me as to where to begin, I'm all ears!
