Func_Msgboard: New Q1SP - The Masque Of The Red Death

Posted by Tronyn on 2005/10/12 22:03:45

After much pain and suffering, I present The Masque of the Red Death - a seven story nightmare castle full of pain and suffering.

I'm issuing a warning right now: the system requirements for this map are extremely high, and as far as I can tell it will only run in Darkplaces or aguirRe's custom engines. Also, the map requires Quake Mission Pack 1: Scourge of Armagon.

I've tested the hell out of this thing, and I think it's reasonable, but I don't doubt that some people will find it very difficult. Most players will likely die several times on their first run through. I hope supplies are sufficient and that everyone who plays is able to get it working and doesn't die of frustration either in that process or because of the dense horde combat.

Edit: Skill settings are only functional via the console, not via the enclosed start map.

Thanks to my playtesters - Mike Woodham, Necros, and Kinn. A particular thanks to aguirRe both for playtesting and for all of his technical help and the entity corrections that he made.

Too many entities for Fitz to be able to load it. Only DP and Bengt's engines, which remove limits that most other engines have, can run this map in my experience.

Also, for those without Scourge of Armagon, you can probably play this using any progs.dat that includes hipnotic's func_spawn code. If you had Soul Of Evil, for example, you could substitute -soe for -hipnotic, and still run the map thus: quake -soe -game masque (I checked that and it works).
