Doom mapping
Fernito:
Anyone has experience making maps for classic Doom? When I was a child I used to draw Doom maps in a copybook. My dream was to make actual maps for the game. Then I started mapping for Duke3D and I forgot about Doom.
Some weeks ago I remembered this childhood "dream" of mine, so I decided to finally learn how to map in Doom. Downloaded Doom Builder 2 (which seems to be the most popular mapping software out there), watched some tutorials and started mapping. I must say that mapping for Doom is pretty easy and intuitive, at least compared to Duke3D mapping (well, that's rather obvious as Doom is a lot simpler).
Anyway, I already finished a map. Is anyone interested on giving it a try? Here are some shots:
It's supposed to be the first map of a 3 episode mega-WAD, with an original Doom feel to it.

Looks cool but where are the monsters? ^_^
Doom 2 is the first thing i did maps for (besides battlecity and exitebike for nes and Stunt) I still have my very first map for Doom but the remaining ones were lost with my first duke maps. In those times I used DCK 2.2 (and i can asure you it wasnŽt more intuitive than Duke). I tried to toy around with Doom maps again sometime ago but the fact DCK 2.2 doesnt work even using Dosbox and that in modern editors the nostalgia factor is missing, i got bored quickly.
IŽm likely going to check your map one of these days, but contrary to what i feel about Duke, the real fun is in those cool total conversions for Zdoom.
MSandt:
Been wanting to do something with DoomBuilder for a while now. I'd love to give the map a try.

OK then, here's the download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?srsl9k06t007rku
You need the Ultimate Doom's IWAD in order to play the map (but I guess Doom's IWAD would do fine too). Note that skill levels are fully implemented. And please, feel free to report any bugs and/or give any feedback on the map. Remember that this is my very first Doom map :P
Oh, and a last thing: it won't work under original DOS version of Doom, as it has too many sectors (it throws the 'visplane overflow' error). I use ZDoom.
@Gambini: I played with nomonsters to take the screeshots :P Oh, and I would love to play your first level.
@Mikko: you have mapped previously with Doom Builder, or you're new to it?
Gambini:
My first doom level is utterly crap. I doubt youŽd like to play that thing ^_^
