BETA: Keep Q1 SP 'Uber Mod' (all Monsters Etc) Devblog.
Latest updates, tidbits, and ramblings. Ask questions here. To avoid the many expected (and encouraged!) "Hey will feature X be included?" questions, the following mods will be subsumed into the collective:
AD - Used as the mod base structure. All added features use AD's specific code types, classes, infighting, etc.
Mission Pack 1 (Hipnotic)
Mission Pack 2 (Rogue)
Rubicon
Quoth 2.1 atm (2.2 is closed source)
Custents
extras_r4
Zerstorer
Kinn (from the Marcher and others)
SOE
And my custom stuff (such as my programmable coordinate func_robot with its special syncronization code for mating up with other robots seemlessly, great for machinery or buildings that assemble themselves)

Yes I have the fix for fish monster count!

An Earlier Rambling 
Getting closer to a pre1.0 release.

Uncompleted Tasks:
• Readme (at 30%)
• Archive map
• At least one of these unfinished maps that make use of the mod:
-▪"" (Egyptian Coagula map)
-▪"Subterranean Mine" (Large tech base/factory)
-▪"" (Egyptian pyramid insides)

Future plans:
• Uber map (no peeking! no hints! Keep rearranging too much anyways)
• Uber episode:
-▪Still mostly in planning stages
-▪Considering making a collaborative community project...not sure how well I can "corral" peoples' efforts toward my overall vision and pacing from map to map. Prerequisite is to finish the plan and compile into a master project guide with theme notes for each map along the journey path, encounter ramp up pacing and new enemy schedule, and weapon release timings. 
I Would 
Like to add the Drake mod but alas I can't find the source qc nor decompile it.

Same for all the lovely features in Quoth 2.2. 
Uber Episode 
I've made an overview map of the planned path from level to level. I have a cool story written, but would need someone to model a mix between a death knight and a wrath...a hooded Overlord boss knight that's about as tall as a golem and much gloomier.

The story is this:

Overlord has gone from world to world conquering it and absorbing its power, never satisfied with enough power until all worlds are his. He scouts out earth in 1400 or so only to be fought by knights who he finds pleasantly powerful. Overlord casts a portal to leave and the knights rush him, steal his portal making rune wothout him noticing. He leaves through his portal, unable to return.

Throughout the years various peoples have used the rune, visiting the The Doomed Dimension only to either never return or return with fearsome tales of monsters beyond.

Present day, scientists have the rune and use it to create a slipgate machine which lets one go through and return. Knowing of the tales of what lies beyond and knowing that there is great evil, you enter the portal on a scouting mission to discover who these creatures are and what they intended by visiting earth so long ago.

Upon finding out this information within the Doomed Dimension from the writings of those visited long ago, you discover that there is no return. The Overlord discovered travellers using the return portal and sealed it to prevent them from knowing when or if he ever made a new sliprune. The Overlord must be vanquished and the rune of black magic used to unseal the return portal. To survive, you must fight and save earth in the process.

Along the way, you find messages and stashes of supplies hidden by previous travellers which explains why there is so many weapons and ammo about and also explains some of the in-world objects which may seem out of place. 
Clever Scientists 
The slipgate developed has monitors and equipment that help revive the portal at the same world and the correct time since last opened. All worlds have hotpoints where either an entry wormhole can generate a portal, or an exit wormhole portal. Stonehenge is an entry point to our world. 
Earlier People 
Had to use proper spells to use the sliprune with any effectiveness. 
 
Lost Chapter is the precursor to Quoth and has some of the monsters. source code

There are awesome mega enforcers/enforcer commanders in lunsp1 -- the source code is provided in the mod source code

The source code for Travail is available, uses the lunsp1 Enforcers and has many new enemies
source code.

Travail has the same spiders as Marcher fortress (FilePlanet mod "spider21.zip" spiders).

Since custents has things like eels, will be nice to see those put to use. 
Performance Issues? 
Will a huge QC mod like this have any?

I know practically nothing about QC. 
 
The following release has many high quality reskins:

The map also features weapons in wall racks, although if this just the standard model with special angles to rotate it is not something I ever checked out.

It has the QuakeC source available, but I don't know what features required custom QuakeC aside from a special boss enforcer that used a super-nail gun. 
 
Also if you are looking for skin options, as I recall Kona's Nilihore had a number of reskinned enemies.

/Would have added this to prev post 
@Qmaster 
This all sounds great. With the expanded sound capabilities of the mods you're including this story could really come to life.

Radio calls from scientists helping you along.
Recorded messages (as in Doom3 et al.)
The Overlord taunting the player.

Lots of audio stuff we miss because of id1 limitations.

The question I have is about limits... could you actually have a map with every monster? (not that you would of course) but just how far can you take this? 
Map With Every Monster 
And EVERYTHING else. This is precisely the goal of the archive map. So far no issues.
