Certainly possible to add, drop/throw items like backpacks. Only issue is if the items falls somewhere the player cannot reach, lava pool or void?

Maybe just make the item hover above the corpse without tossing it?

I believe it's up to level designer to ensure that enemy that drops item cannot leave the space it should drop it (without lava pool, void etc).

My thoughts exactly, I will add this feature to my list. I can see it now, monster dies and spawns a lost soul with a shower of gibs! 

Make it so ;) 

func_container entity which could drop anything and look like any mdl/bsp the mapper wants? 

Other plans all sounds good, looking forward to it :-) 

totally awesome map! i liked its grim vide, interconnectedness, proper designs and everything!
5/25 secrets, i'll return ;)

here's pathetic demos with me dying alot

for the demos, very nice!

Heads up to all others, the file Vondur linked contains demos for nearly all other AD maps as well.

Recommend watching those! 

I didn't find any good place to point out bugs, so should I mention it here? When using this mod for the mapping. If I place enemies near the each others, if the distance between these two is less than 4 pixels, they explode to the pieces in game.

Also all the enemies seem to need more space to be able to move, once again 4 pixels free space (every pixel counts in my case). Especially when doing couple small hallways that are just about 64 pixels + offsets, just enough so shamblers/ogres can use it for their path.

It's not the problem in any way, but afterwards when using some specific number sets in my test maps, it's rather nice to see everyone exploding to the pieces. ^^;

Other than that, very well made mod. I love the variety of monsters. 

That's basic Quake behaviour - not AD.

And if you really need to fit them that close together within a 2048^3 (or is it +/- 4096^3?) space then great - you're on the first step to becoming an engine programmer. 

I've put stuff pretty close together in regular Quake with no problems. You might check the bounding boxes in game vs. where they look like they are in your editor.

Yes here is a good place or email directly if you want. I check this thread every couple of days and add stuff to my lists.

Yes everything in AD requires 8 map units around it so that it can settle on the ground and not be stuck. If there is a problem with something check with developer 1 on and there should be yellow diamonds at spawn locations.

Are you using the new editor FGD/DEF files? If there are bounding box errors in the editor let me know and I can fix these. Generally as a rule I would not recommend 64 unit corridors as they are really tricky for several monsters to navigate properly. 

IMO, the console spam (whatever the contanstantly updated output is) should be moved to developer 2 in order to keep 1 free for normal dev purposes when testing a map.

Sorry I am confused, what console messages are you talking about? 

Sorry, nevermind. Turns out I didn't have patch 2 installed. 

 

I suggest having a look if adding this to the world spawn helps -

no_item_offset 1 

 

I didn't have patch 2 installed
I did not realize so many people would avoid the patch. I added bonus maps to tempt everyone, but I even saw streamers without the patch.

Hopefully this will all be fixed with the new version! :P 

2 new remix maps ready with extra routes, visuals and gameplay changes for the AD 1.5 update in June!
