Pretty good map. IMO I think it suffers a little from not enough ammo near the beginning and also it's quite tough, I never realised that the Revenants rockets tracked the player until I played this map.
I got some recommendations from the guys over at the ZDoom fourms and I fixed some misaligned textures and an area were the player can jump onto the crates and over the fence to get the blue key. I've uploaded V2 of the map btw.
RoQ: Overall a nice little map for a first release. Demo recorded with ZDoom 2.7.1 - not sure if it works across quickloads, though.
Q1SP screenshots: Cool. Got a bit of time off at the moment to map. So map I have done...

So many screenshots :O Looking good! In this case I'd agree that a bit more alignment might be good, and wouldn't distract from the ID1 stylization going on. Agree with mfx too about that particular wood seeming somewhat out of place in shot 2.
1st shot atmosphere is rad, can't wait to play it! The map has a lot of wood trims so that's unlikely to change much. Alignment is something I usually stick on top of as the map progresses, though I will be looking to get the next couple of maps tested before I do a second pass. The second pass usually involves refining everything and adding a few extra secrets (so the people who tested have a little extra something once it's released).
Rubicon shots look very cool, i'm excited to see this megapack when it's released.
P.S. regarding <a href="http://www.quaketastic.com/files/screen_shots/tfrag05.png ">this screenshot</a>, you should give r_oldwater 0 a try :) probably a mistake.
My philosophy when working on fitzquake was that it was a drop-in replacement for glquake -- lots of people using broken glquake, so let's give them an engine that is better, but has the same defaults for cvars and stuff so their hand-crafted configs still work. Another example is gl_flashblend, which still defaults to 1 in fitzquake. Notably, both of these cvars default to the higher performance setting rather than the higher quality setting. This is due to targeting the same hardware specs as glquake, which at the time was reasonable. But this is a new generation of players at this point, and most people get recommended fitzquake who just installed quake from steam or are coming from a different custom engine. And they have much better computers. So I really should change all the cvars to give the best looking experience. I should really finish that secret. All the testers are disappointed when they find it, and oh back at least once, thinking I can't possibly have left something unfinished...
Oldwater? Ok. Don't remember what that does... I miss r_lavaalpha, r_slimealpha, r_telealpha. everyone who uses fitzquake or quakespasm should turn r_oldwater off (set it to 0). it makes the water texture warp completely smoothing (like it did in software quake).
nothing much here (hopefully some actual screenshots in the next few weeks, as I am finally about to have some spare time), but anyway:
q2warehouse-ish coloured lighting shot previously posted: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/screen_shots/oldcolour.jpg version with no coloured lighting: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/screen_shots/nocolour.jpg The more I think about it, the more the second one looks more "Quake." Btw it is a bitch to light those white textures especially in a level with no global minlight. I was going for foreboding: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/screen_shots/bw3.jpg and a random editor shot of more fleshy life forms interfering with things: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/screen_shots/noob%20saibot.jpg
