Another overhaul. It's going to have a forest look to it.

I hope that at least one of you are planning on making a single-player level this time. I don't want to just win by default again.

Assuming the Recycle Bin is the 128x512 one, make sure that you have split up the height into four different patches. Anything higher than 255 can get a little weird.
Tiled start menu: texture width must be a power of 2. So, make it a 256-pixels-wide texture and fill in the extra space with stuff (like, say, another instance of the patch). It's not like it'll be visible as long as the linedef is 224 units long, anyway.
Red noise through the flat, huh? Make sure it's saved as a DOOM flat (ie: displays in the top-left when viewed in XWE, NOT in the center). That's about all I can say on that.
Textures don't need to be square; they can have irregular heights (though you WILL need an extra patch every 128 pixels), but width must remain a power of 2.

I've got a Match stage mostly finished (just need to change the music in the map header) and a SP stage that I'm currently texturing. With any luck, that latter one will be done by the deadline... Although, my current vision for it involves custom enemies - more or less like Crawlas, except they stop and shoot at you (and a few elite ones, used sparingly, shoot turret fire). That could take time, seeing as I've not experimented with SOC editing before.
Incidentally both stages are just ports from DOOM stages so yes, for now, I'm being very unoriginal. At least the Match stage works fairly well. The single-player stage... well, I've yet to finish it so I can't say how well it'll work. Let's just say that if you like flat, you'll be interested. But then, I wasn't shooting for "superb", I was shooting for "unique" and "example of how to put custom textures to good use" and "making it so that FuriousFox doesn't win by default again".

UPDATE : I am now complete with all of my wads. I will send them to Mystic tomorrow; I don't have time today.
P.S. Sorry for the double post.

It would go in the singleplayer division, unless you can play Match on this map.
