For all my fellow DOOM junkies, there is a new automated level
generator out that makes VERY good maps, of pretty much any size,
general type, complexity, and hellspawn distribution/population you
care to specify.
Current public version:
http://samiam.org/slump/ObHack-win-006.8.zip
Requires Windows (any version). Slow on old machines but otherwise
runs on pretty much anything. Takes about 4 minutes to make 11
"HUGE" maps on my old P3-550. Abend at exit is harmless, it's just
the logfile failing to update.
I don't recall if this version has the cybes and big spiders and
super nasty all big monsters setting yet... I've been testing a
newer one myself which does all that.
Future updates and sourcecode package:
http://samiam.org/slump/
There are two basic versions available, but Fritz's makes much more
complex and varied maps, with better monster distribution.
The one failing is a lack of weapons, readily solved by doing IDFA
at the start of the first map (either single, episode, or full game
set).
And, well, if you're an alignment freak, close your eyes, Lots of
misaligned and orphaned textures, but that's just cosmetic -- I can
ignore it.
All-outdoor maps are for pros... there's little to stop floaters
from coming over the walls at you from all directions. :D But
they're also the best maps!
... Teamwork: you check for traps, I'll find the exit.
