Makes Jack a dull boy.

Really looking forward to these maps. Might not be able to play through them all for a while because of my work schedule. Looking great everyone.

Looking good. These tall volumes would be nicely complemented by some fog and more contrasted lighting. 

I can't wait to see everyone's work! 

 

...which makes it another 4 hours if my math is correct. I doubt I'll be able to submit more stuff but I'll try anyway - dumptruck, U up 4 some express mastering if need be? 

So this is inspired by his mappack/episode contract revoked, what other works of Kell should I play? 

 

 

Honestly, there aren't that many, and you can find all of them with a Quaddicted search: https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/?filtered=kell

One you might miss, though, is Remix of the Damned (e1m2quoth), which is part of the Quoth download and not listed as a separate map (and it's a pretty nice map).

Quoth also contains a version of czg and Vondur's remake of e1m1 that has been quoth-ified, as well a bunch of test maps, some of which are effectively full maps but aren't necessarily mindblowing nor have the best balancing, as I recall (been a while since I played them). Not sure which of those were made by Kell. 

Oh, right, here's a list of the quoth testmaps (not sure I can link to them directly, but just scroll down and click on "maps"): https://www.quaddicted.com/webarchive/kell.quaddicted.com/

The titles suggest that at least six of those were in fact made by Kell.

dmc2m5 

I mean, none were made for the AD mod ?

I don't mind much since I I have Quoth too.

Will it be a good idea to put all these maps into the Quoth/maps subfolder ? 

They will come in a jam9 folder to be played under -quoth -game jam9. 

 

Because people are too lazy to care about anything but Quakespasm these days. 

dumptruck, U up 4 some express mastering if need be? Yep. I am at work but hit me up if you need anything, I could sneak in a few and have the software here. The deadline is in 3 hours though. 

It's because it will include some sound and skin replacements from contract that will override the ones in Quoth. 

I have a new song and 6 or so new sound files (and post #300 -- woot?) 

-quoth is a fitzquake 0.85 feature, not QS only. You can achieve the same effect in engines with multi-gamedir support (DP or probably FTE) with the right sequence of -game commands. (iirc -quoth is "add the quoth gamedir and enable the hipnotic hud"?)

Worst case, if the engine doesn't support any of those, you can duplicate a Quoth install and patch it with the map jam files. 

Wondering about this "feature". What the hypnotic command actually do ? 

I've been making that library ambience for skacky's map but it won't be ready for the deadline - it needs some more hours' work. PuLSaR, can you wait for it or should I release it later as DLC? 

to arrange the pack and minor fixes, so you still have some time 

I'll try my best to put it out before it's too late. 

Wondering about this "feature". What the hypnotic command actually do ?

Minor but important correction, you have to spell the command "hipnotic" for it to work. It puts the engine in "Mission Pack 1" mode, which has a slightly different hud layout. In particular, it means that the plasma gun and the Quoth powerups have icons.

On another note, I was thinking about providing an pak file version of this on the Quoth site, for use with the "launcher" included in 2.2. This provides an alternative, engine neutral way of sorting out the problems with command lines and multiple directories. Is that OK?
