Here's a fixed start.bsp derived from the vanilla GPL release:

I've fixed all the texture misalignments that annoyed me, plus some brushwork. Also added _dirt -1 to some light entities and compiled it with -dirtscale 1.25 and lit liquids. 

fixed textures can make all the difference in the world. thank you mankrip. misaligned textures in original q1 are terrible with hd textures.

I've modified some things in the chiaroscuro lighting, because the models were getting too bloody dark when they shouldn't: Explore or Die - map gameplay.

I've died in a humiliating way in that video, but the video as a whole was nice to watch so I've not re-recorded it. 

What's that music?
I love that name, explore or die.... 

Robouroboros - Clank ("Machineries Without Joy" Mix by Chrome Corpse) 

A really cool map, one of my favourites. The video looks really dark on my screen, maybe try a YT filter or brighten it up with Video Editing Software like Windows Movie Maker. 

I'll re-record it with a higher gamma setting in the game. It looks really good when playing, but YouTube compression is really bad on dark areas.

I'll try to find out a good balance between dark areas and YouTube compression; one of my goals with these videos is to learn how to make the game look better on YouTube videos. Video compression is really bad for a visual style built around per-pixel grainyness.

On a side note, it's curious how this video didn't suffer from the same hiccups of the previous ones. 

I don't know if playing a heavily colored-lit map in an engine that doesn't yet support them was the best idea. 

For the purpose of testing the image fidelity between the engine and YouTube, that's enough.

Right now I'm focusing on gamecode, there's a lot to do.

Decided to screw around with Arcane Dimensions stuff in my Jam6 map.

Looking good, but I think you should stick to the skybox you used in your original map, it suits the textureset better than moorise. 

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd announce that I uploaded a small project I'm dubbing BloodQuake to the quaketastic ftp upload site.

You can download it here.
http://www.quaketastic.com/files/bloodquake/bqalpha.zip

It's playable, but buggy as hell. I'm mostly uploading it here for safe keeping, but I'm open to any feedback you'd like to give.

It comes with one custom level I made (not the same version which was reviewed on quaddicted.com) and comes with a bunch of new monster models, weapons and items.

I'm including the source code for anyone who wants to tamper with it. I'm terrible at coding, and so I credited a lot of the code I'm using from other sources (like the X-Men ROA code, which has been drastically modified)

There's still plenty of junk to clean up in the code and gameplay, but I thought I'd upload it to make sure I wouldn't lose it.

Thanks. 

The first bite is always with the eye

I have no idea what i'm doing here. 

I always appreciate a new runic map 

Could do with some texture variation, but structure is nice 

try more variety in those m4_4 trims.
