Description : TOM is a boom compatible wad that uses only doom2
format line actions (except some boom light
transfers) and sector effects. -complevel 9 in
PrBoom-Plus is required for some rising stairs
and "floor lower to 8 above highest floor"
behaviour. Some maps don't work properly in
ZDoom.

This isn't intended to be a traditional map set.
Instead, it's a compilation of random maps and
mapping experiments (for me) with random themes
that are sorted by date (mostly), rather than
difficulty. Each map is intended to be learned
and memorized from a pistol start and recorded
on for max runs (not all maps also have an
intended speed route). I imagine playing most of
these maps without learning them would probably
be pretty annoying. The point of the maps is to
learn them, plan a route, and record a demo as
fast as you can. Most of the maps are
bfg-oriented or rocket/plasma-oriented and most
people probably won't like the gameplay.

Most of the maps are remakes of levels from other
games. All of the remakes were built by looking
around in-game in the original levels, counting
floor and wall tiles to figure out heights and
lengths, standing in corners and seeing where
other corners line up, using a ruler and the
in-game map to figure out general room sizes,
etc. The Quake remakes were also built that way
(I didn't look in a Quake editor). Though, there
are still differences in appearance between the
originals and remakes. If you're a fan of any of
the games I did remakes of, I think it could be
cool to check out these maps even if you don't
like the gameplay (play on skill 3 - hurt me
plenty - to play the maps without monsters).

Intended to be played with these options, if you
want:

CATEGORY 1 (INTENDED)
- prboom-plus 2.5.0.1+
- kills/items/secrets/timer HUD (with "smart
totals" turned off)
- any resolution + uncapped fps
- custom key config for weapons
- -longtics
- no TAS features (unless you specify your demo
is TAS)
- turn180 if you use keyboard only

CATEGORY 2
- zdoom
- freelook + jumping turned on
- infinitely tall actors turned off
- no bfg aiming
- custom key config for weapons
- no crouch

My key config in PrBoom-Plus is:

WASD movement, M1 fire, SHIFT shotgun,
R chaingun, Q rocket, E plasma, F bfg, SPACE use,
ALT strafe on, MOUSE turning (sometimes arrow
keys with my right hand for long sr50)

My key config in ZDoom is:

WASD movement, M1 fire, M2 jump, Q prev weap,
E next weap, SPACE use, ALT strafe on,
SHIFT center view, always mouselook,
never auto-aim, no BFG aiming, dot crosshair.

* Play Information *

Game : Doom 2
Map # : MAP01-16, 30-32
Single Player : Designed for

Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes (except map29 and map30) but untested

If it was me, for casual coop games online I'd
play with infinite ammo, respawn items, respawn
mega items, no friendly fire, save the bfg for
emergencies or if there's enough room for
everyone to use it without knocking people
around, and have everybody try to get the same
number of kills. Nothing extra was added for
coop.

Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No

Difficulty Settings : No - Intended for skill 4 - Ultra Violence

There are no monsters on skill 3 - Hurt Me Plenty
except monsters that are required to appear in
order to progress through the map. That was done
because some maps can't be completed with
-nomonsters. If playing on skill 3, shoot your
gun every once in a while to wake up those
monsters so that you don't get stuck.

* Construction *

Base : New from scratch
Build Time :
Editor(s) used : Doom Builder 1.66 & 1.68, XWE 1.16, Paint Shop

Challenge. Some maps won't work with
-complevel 2. Some maps won't work with ZDoom.
