I'm posting this message to announce that, within the next month, I'm going to be releasing a Quake 1 mod that I made a few years ago. It has been sitting on my computer collecting dust for some time now and it's time for me to actually release it. The mod was made solely by me. I worked on it for about 2 hours every day over the course of a year and a half. Needless to say, there have been massive amounts of alterations. The mod itself is sort of like a mix between Painkeep, Hunt or Be Hunted, and Mr.Pants Excessive Overkill for Quake 3. Frikbots have been added to support offline play and many single player elements have been changed drastically. It's called Quakefiend. All of the weapons have been changed and almost all of the monsters have been changed. The mod basically turns the player into the fiend and gives the player fiend specific weapons. For example, one weapon allows the player to vomit gibs. Another weapon allows the player to summon a new type of monster to fight for them. A third weapon allows the player to spit acid...The mod is meant to run on Darkplaces. Anyways, keep an eye out sometime between May 5th and May 12th if you're interested. I'll be posting screenshots sometime between then and now
The last texture wad you will ever desire.

chipped and weathered whizzerd mettal forms the backbone of all Quake's fortresses. it's from a bunch of textures i'm making for my new maps - i'll make it public when i've stopped dicking with them.
I didn't hear notice any unusual sound. Did you capture the demo twice?
You say the level is quite bright for a metal map, but for the video it's quite appropriate. Congrats on the secrets, though it does seem a little suspicious. You've probably scouted them out beforehand! This would also explain the lack of derp. Still, nice vid. How blatantly did you already know where all the secrets were? Was it from playing the map for hours beforehand, or just no-clipping??
negke: no unusual sounds, I just thought it would be a laugh to include that pic and theme the intro around it.
Lots of gamma correction and brightness/contrast adjustment went into the video to darken it. I always play the maps through before recording a demo to avoid most derps. After finding 5/6 I decided "fuck this shit, son" and spent 20 minutes searching for the final one (it was the one below the lava you need the pent to get). even taking gamma/brightness out of the equation for a minute, the level was just very brightly lit in general (in most areas).
When I think of metal themed maps, I tend to remember the arcing shadows cast from light enclosures and very specific areas being lit with small spotlights etc. In this map there were a lot of lights that lit and entire area almost uniformly in places and to me it didn't feel right :) Fantastic map though, I had no idea it existed until someone linked it in #tf. Thanks, whoever that was! Can some mapping wizard (negke) fix the PG secret? The info_teleport_destination is missing on skill 0.
Should be easy enough to do with the usual bspinfo / -onlyents fuckery but I'd probably fuck it up... Nice video Daz, but what is the difference between exits? blue or yellow? Congrats on all the secrets, I can see a pattern with Kell secret nowadays (especially after playing red777) Also what happened to the voice over discussion version of the map?
