Abandoned Misery

Description


Abandoned Misery is a Doom mod that focuses on the Deathmatch game mode using the GZDoom game engine. Abandoned Misery is a prototype of the Morgenstern project. Abandoned Misery focuses on a new and different form of aesthetics and design concepts that is based on a dark atmospheric world. With this, level details are critical to assure a new form of level design with a unique level of dark ambiance. However, despite that this level is merely a prototype, Abandoned Misery is still playable. Abandoned Misery can support up to eight players in a multiplayer environment. Give Abandoned Misery a try with a small group of friends and see if the new design concept works with you.

Description             : This map was included in my huge project
                           'TGRDM3'(Morgenstern) that originally started
                           back in 2007, but I finally decided to kill the
                           project on the 26 October 2014.  The development
                           time was going to take several more years to
                           complete, and making maps that uses 3D Objects -
                           heavily - on a 2.5 game engine is overly
                           complicated along with its limitations. 
                           Abandoned Misery was originally half-way designed
                           back in 2010, but later completely redesigned in
                           2013 (which is the version released).  I honestly
                           believe that this is the first - real successful
                           Deathmatch map I have ever created in my entire
                           history of Doom modding.  Call me bias, but I
                           have rejected approximately 37 maps that I have
                           created for the TGRDM3 project, but this map is
                           one of the survivors in the new stock set.  I
                           hope others enjoy this map and possibly use it
                           for other projects.
                           
                           Revision Update (23 June. 2016)
                            This is a revision update from the last known release.
                            Updates:
                                This update addresses several issues and minor changes that were resolved in the TGRDM3 project and has been imported onto this project.
                                Imported the maps from TGRDM3 to AMISERY: Abandoned Misery and Abandoned Misery [Lite].  This is an updated version of the maps previously released back in 2014.
                                    Notable fixes: Jump Pads, Camera Textures, 3D Teleporter support
                                    Various and minor changes are also included.
                                    Any specialized TGRDM3 features that were not present in AMISERY were excluded.
                                    For example, Jump Pad sparkles, various sounds, ring spawners, and others, were excluded.
                                Fixed the Grenade's bouncing sound.  Previously, this did not work as intended.
                                Grenade now inherits from the Grenade Class defined in ZDoom.
                                Updated the Performance Note
                                Updated the texture credits.
                                
                           Revision Update (13 September. 2015):
                            This is a revision update from the last known release.
                            Updates:
                                Added duplicate version of 'Abandoned Misery' (MAP01) -> 'Abandoned Misery [Lite] (MAP02).
                                    This map is designed primarily to resolve frame rate performance issues by removing some resource intensive features.
                                    Also, with removing such features such as floor reflection and mirrors, this should be less confusing to players as it - 
                                    could be possible for players to mistake themselves as an opponent within the game.
                            
                           Revision Update (12 September. 2015):
                            This is a revision update from the last known release.
                            Updates:
                                Imported the ZMapInfo lumps, yet modified, that was originally from the TGRDM3 project.
                                Replaced the map 'Abandoned Misery' with the version from the TGRDM3 repository.  This mainly (and should only) include weapon and THING placements.
                                Imported the competitive weapon stock set that was previously in the TGRDM3 repository.  This effectively means that all of the weapons used within the map, contains very different properties based on the original Doom game itself.  For example, rockets are much faster, shotguns have a vertical and horizontal spread, super shotgun has a slightly tighter spread, and much more.
                           
                           Revision Update (31 December. 2014):
                            This is a revision update from the last known release.
                            Updates:
                                Added Fog using resources within the Realm667 site.
                                Added Sector Fog
                                Added Rain using resources within the Realm667 site.
                                Added splashes using Enjay's "Splashes" resource mod file.
                                Added one ogg music file from 'Shane Strife'. (see \Documents\Credits.txt for more details)
                                General map fixes and updates
                                    For example; the glass ceilings where not set properly with the currently used sky.
                                        Some instant death sectors where not set properly.
                                        Texture alignment
                           
                           Performance Notes:
                                This map might be rather resource and rendering
                                intensive on various systems abroad.  Here is a
                                few Console Variables that could help a bit by
                                disabling some special features based on the
                                GZDoom engine:
                                        Line Mirrors --> GL_Mirrors (or R_DrawMirrors for Software Renderer.)
                                        Sector Reflections --> GL_Plane_Reflection
                                        Dynamic Lights --> GL_Lights
                                        Draw Translucency --> R_DrawTrans
                                        Rendering Precision --> GL_Render_Precise

                            nightmare with managing over 600 3D Objects in
                            one map and having to deal with (G)ZDoom specific

* Play Information *

* Construction *

Base                    : New from scratch
Editor(s) used          : GZDoom Builder, Notepad++, and various other
                          tools
Known Bugs              : One of the mirrors does produce a HOM due to not
                           having a larger rendering void, this effect
                           probably wont be easily noticeable.
                          
                          If using the Zandronum engine, please do use version 3.0 or later.  This map and it's required assets is not compatible with any build before version 3.0.
May Not Run With...     : ZDoom's software rendering engine, this is due to
                           the sloped 3D Objects.  But,  this is only a
                           visual issue, the map will still work as expected
                           regardless.

Install and Play


Playing any Doom mod is quite easy with today's modern source ports and tools.

1. Download the mod you want to play
2. Be sure that you have the desired Source Port ready to use
3. I would recommend using a 'Front-End' program.
    List of known Front-End programs: https://zdoom.org/wiki/Frontend
    This front-end tool will allow you to easily load any number of mods directly to the source port.
    If you choose not use a front-end program, you can still accomplish the same effect by using the
    Command Line [ https://zdoom.org/wiki/Command_line_parameters ]
4. Configure the front-end program as needed
5. And finally, play!
