MAP11: Transcension is the eleventh map of Speed of Doom. It was designed by Josh Sealy and uses the music track "Technownage" by James Paddock.

This map uses a forced suicide exit at the end to reset the player's inventory at the start of the next map.

Essentials[edit]

Other points of interest[edit]

Secrets[edit]

  1. Shoot the gargoyle face south of your starting position to find a berserk pack. (sector 61)
  2. After you enter the brown rock cave where the yellow key is, head south along the nukage creek. Press a part of the wall to the east with a slightly lighter texture near the bars, press the switch behind the wall, and carefully hop on top of the green wall nearby. From there, hug the rocky wall to land on a hair-thin ledge that will lead you to an alcove with a soulsphere. (sector 310)

Bugs[edit]

Linedef 55's back side has CEIL5_2 set as an upper texture, but CEIL5_2 is a flat. While most modern source ports should simply ignore it, both Boom 2.02 and MBF 2.03 on DOS will crash immediately, leaving the following error message at the DOS prompt.

"R_TextureNumForName: CEIL5_2 not found"

The SIDEDEFS lump can be edited manually to remove CEIL5_2 from linedef 55, allowing this map to run in Boom and MBF (no texture is required on this linedef's back side).
