Q1SP Mod DevKit - Progs_dump
progs_dump is a QuakeC compilation intended to give Quake mappers more creative options than “vanilla” Quake, while retaining the look, feel and gameplay of the original.

Features include:

* trigger spawned monsters
* custom sounds (ambient and triggered)
* custom models and sprites with optional animation frames
* multiple targets, targetnames and killtargets
* custom trigger_push (can be used for water currents, et al.)
* enhanced triggers (start off and is_waiting flag to delay triggering)
* enhanced plats (toggle, start at bottom, etc.)
* trigger_setgravity (on player and / or monsters)
* trigger_usekey (trigger volume that requires a key to fire)
* tele_fog (play teleport effect e.g. disappearing monsters)
* Rotfish fixes


Sample Maps by Ionous, Mclogenog and dumptruck_ds

Please read the manual for full details.

NOTE: If you use this DevKit, your map should be released as a stand-alone mod and installed into its own folder in the Quake directory. This is not intended to be a mod that people make and release content for.

Screenshots:

Yoder's map

There will be some bugs. I'll do my best to keep this updated regularly. I hope you find it useful!

Version 1.1.0 Release Candidate 1 
Here's progs_dump devkit RC1

This release is for testing and feedback.

Screenshot from pd_zombies sample map.
Screenshot from pd_ladders sample map.

There's a bit more work for me to do for the final. Here's a partial list:

1. New Start map
2. Complete pd_void sample map
3. Add func_rotate (Hipnotic)
4. Add dropping box code (RennyC)
5. Add fading light styles (c0burn)
6. Finish breakable sound effects
7. Add skins to debris.mdl
8. Complete manual
9. Address any show stopping bugs
10. Test in various engines.

Make sure and read the manual. Many of your questions should be answered there or in the sample maps.

Here's a dump of the changelog:

* Added reset_items key to worldspawn entity; resets players items on map load (no need for Rune hacks for custom start maps!)
* Added classnames to "bonus item fell out of level" and "monster stuck in wall" errors when developer is set to 1.
* Add entities for Thunder, Water and Sky sounds. Use these when you want to hand place these instead of having VIS.exe add them automatically.
* Fixed door unlock sound not playing (id software bug)
* Added ladders
* Added breakables
* Added spawn_angry key/value for use with Trigger Spawned monsters
* Added meat_shower (regular or large, triggerable, silent or random gib sounds)

* Added trigger_shake (earthquake)
* Renamed dtsounds.qc to dtmisc.qc
* Added deadstuff entities
* Added ritem (items respawn)
* Added trigger spawning to items
* Added items suspended flag
* Fixed trigger_ladder conflict with trigger_setgravity
* Revised FGDs
* Added pain_target and pain_threshold
* Added func_togglewall, func_counter, func_oncount and func_particlefield from Hipnotic

Updated RC1 JACK FGD 
Here's a new version of the FGD for JACK users The RC1 version above was untested and had some errors. 
Nice 
Awesome stuff! Should use this with a standspon3 map of mine! 
Play_Sound_Trigger 
I'm getting realy mad about this.
Have made some soundtriggers in 11KHz, 8Bit, Mono timeds ago and everithing works.
Now, after loading the new version over it, I did the same and nothing happens. Message" Couldn't load ... .wav.
Tried to load some original dump/..wav and also the same message.
Made a new directorie, reloaded files, deleted working files and also nothing.
What have I done wrong? 
 
Well it's really hard to know what you have done with out seeing your hard drive and directories. So a few questions:

What do you mean by loading a new version over it?

Do you mean a new progs_dump? If so then, what version are you using?

Each version of progs_dump should be treated as a separate mod. I never intended for people to "upgrade" or overwrite those files. I will make sure this is clear in the readme if I didn't already.

Did you somehow, move or overwrite your sound files? Are they still there?

Most of the time these are issues with the paths. I did not touch the sound code between the different versions. 
@dumptruck_ds 
My Workflow:
Created a directorie named after my project. Copyd the progs_dump in. created a new map and saved it in the map folder. made some sounds and saved it in subfolder ../gh in sounds/. Triggerd the files in trenchbroom and they worked. downloaded the newst version of progs_dump. removed the old files. installed the new in the same folder. made some new soundfiles. Got error messages "couldn't load soundfile ... . wav". tried it with the older files everything workes fine.

Because of the fact that the old files work, I think that it has something to do wit the paths but I don't know where to fix this.

Would it help to create a new directorie with a clean copy of progs_dump? 
 
quake's sounds filenames are relative to the sound/ subdir rather than the gamedir itself, for some reason.

so if your map contains sound/ in the name then it won't work (unless your sound is in c:/quake/$modname/sound/sound/ which is obviously stupid). if you put them in c:/quake/$modname/sounds/ then it won't work either. 
@Spike 
The folder paths are correct.

Like this.

Noise: gh/example.wav


The only difference is that the old files work, the new dont, the water sound in dumps folder dont works either. 
Sgt 
Would it help to create a new directorie with a clean copy of progs_dump?

Yes I would start with a fresh directory, something got messed up when you copied files around. Especially since the water sound is not working.

BUT - what version are you using of progs_dump? 1.1.0 RC1? or the Jam X RC2?

In the OS the path for your sound must be like so:

modname/sound/mysound.wav

OR

modname/sound/somefoldername/mysound.wav


In the editor, your sound must be:

mysound.wav

OR

somefoldername/mysound.wav 
 
And make sure the folder is SOUND and not SOUNDS 
@dumptruck_ds 
I'm using 1.1.0 and the folder/sample.wav.

I'm repairing this today till it works!

best wishes 
OMG 
There are two versions of 1.1.0 RC1 and RC2

for the 3rd time now... which one are you using? 
@dumptruck_ds "solved It" 
Ding, Shame, Ding, Shame, Ding ...

Solved it!

Had to change the command-line Argument in Necr-GUI to "-game modname".

Argh. The was the last thing I thought.
Now it works fine.
Have only one little idea for the play_sound_triggerd. Could there be a spawnflagg for looped on, off?
Have to turn non looped sounds of by trigger again. 
Woo Hoo 
glad you figured that out

I need to look at that code again. It was a straight copy and paste from Rubicon 2 (or Hipnotic) so I will have to see if I can modify it.

But you want a spawnflag for play_sound_triggered to start on that then toggle off correct? 
 
looping in quake is based on a flag inside the wav file itself, so hard for QuakeC to control (would have to know the length which i don't think is available, and then manually retrigger a non-looped wav, or manually kill a looped wave. 
 
Yep I should have realized that when I posted. That's why there are two discreet sound entities, one for looped wavs with cues (or markers) and one for one-off sounds. Sorry Sgt. It's one or the other. But you can create a looping sound with these markers easily. I have a tutorial here: https://youtu.be/pj7C_igr0bs 
Looped Sounds 
Don't know why but the play_sound_triggered entity in my maps always loops the sound-file with or without markers. So I had to trigger it again to stop. 
 
You are probably triggering it with a trigger_multiple so it's just firing it over and over.

??? 
 
Did a trigger_once on a play_sound_triggerd with a soundfile without markers and the sound repeats and repeats. Did it with a trigger_relay and it happend the same.

So I now shoot two trigger_relays. The first starts the sound, the second, with a delay of the length of the sound, stops it.

Have no idea why it works this way today.
The first time I worked with this entity a trigger_once was enougth and the sound stops after playing. 
Hmmm 
No idea what's up with that but I am glad it is working now.
