The largest map.
The largest map.
Hey everyone,
I have never played pwads too much, so i'm asking what's the largest/biggest map you have ever played ??? Me, av20.

Re: The largest map.
The first level of Demonized, probably, it's just huge. Also Vrack 2, and Oneweek.wad map11 (one of Erik's maps). And there's this huge level in Millennium... but perhaps I shouldn't say any more about that one :)
In general I don't like really big maps, but the above ones are among my favorites... go figure.

Re: The largest map.
Gee, how about any map in MM2? :P

Re: The largest map.
I remember back in 95, my brother took 20 seconds to make this map in dck that was an oval +32000units to -32000units in length... talk about long wall errors.
(I know that was not what you were really asking.)
Ryback posted a good list of huge maps.

Re: The largest map.
It is probably a good thing that there is a map sizelimit... without it, there would be some HUGE maps out now.
Kesler or Krause would probably have one that made Eternal Map24 look like e2m9.:o

Re: The largest map.
I definitely can't think of any bigger than Vrack 2. It certainly has the longest max completion time I can think of (well, maybe some in Eternal are longer, but that demopack needs improving anyway )

Re: The largest map.
There's definately gonna be bigger ones than Vrack2 in the future. Say, Vrack3 ;D
Re: The largest map.
I'll have to look at Vrack2 sometime, since I've been playing a whole mess of pwads lately (one reason I haven't been recording anything.)
Speaking of Eternal 3, I don't think I've ever finished map30.. I just kept finding secret room after secret room until I couldn't find anymore and was stumped. :-[

Re: The largest map.
no one should ever feel forced to record, of course... I couldn't pass up the chance to prod you for some non-Compet-N demos.
Massmouth is a cute little dude. hehe

Re: The largest map.
Well, I usually just play through wads with savegames like I used to, so it's more of an adventure thing than an excuse to make demos.
And yeah, Massmouth is quite a strange character, and it was interesting to see some Opposing Force (half-life mission pack) monsters in there. The Voltigore is only about as tall as the player, but he grew quite a bit for this wad. ;D

Re: The largest map.
Where could I get Vrack 2 ??

Original version (for demo playback):

Re: The largest map.
Hey Adam, got a problem. I downloaded those zips, but when I want to play it, it quits while loading the map and writes >>> P_SpawnMapThing: Type unknow 4001 at (1568, 2464).
Any idea what's wrong ?? :'(

Re: The largest map.
I don't use any port. Maybe I should try some....

Re: The largest map.
I think the 4001-4004 are the player5-8 spots, aren't they?
basically, now a default 'boom' advanced-port add-on.
I think doom2.exe would choke hard on Vrack2.
try MBF or Boom.... oh, and -record
btw Radeg, don't you have some unreleased AV demos to share??

Re: The largest map.
ahem, Vrack2 is not DOOM2.EXE compatible ::)
Re: The largest map.
It didn't seem ZDOOM compatible either because it crashed in many areas, and to that end I still haven't finished it... maybe PRBOOM will do the trick.
Re: The largest map.
nuts.wad is pretty big ;D
Re: The largest map.
Opulent, I tried Boom and it worked, but it was lagging on my comp! I thought I can play any map on my comp, but I was wrong as it seems..HR or AV maps I can play w/o problems. Yeah, there are some AV demos on my Hdd, but not too many, I wanted to do some more, but i'm playing heretic atm, so later...
Re: The largest map.
I'd like to see those AV demos... I don't have to post 'em, y'know.
Heretic? wow. actually, I shouldn't talk, I played RedneckRampage multiplayer this last weekend.
and a bit of Skulltag. There really isn't a really good client/server Doom port available? =/
guess I should be happy with what has been done.

Re: The largest map.
Being able to run HR/AV doesn't mean you have enough CPU power to play all ports maps. Some maps nowadays require a nuclear power station instead of a computer COECITS, latest Eaeuro, etc.

Re: The largest map.
from my experience, MBF and Boom (not Prboom) render huge rooms much faster than other ports.
