No, he was programmed to spawn during the last fight but found himself spawning in this area for some inexplicable reason. I've moved him back where he's supposed to spawn. 

Is there a difference between quoth2.2 on quaddicted and quoth2.2 on Preach's page
Yes there is. If you take a look at pak3.pak, it has different "last modified" date and filesize. The latest version is on Preach's site. The patch is identical to the full version on Quaddicted. 

Maybe this thing with Quoth versions should be touched upon in the update's readme? It would prevent this kind of mess. 

After a delay, I played some more:
-the start map has a loading error when it fails to find track09.mp3 - no problem, but where is the track?
-several maps do not load from the start map and just crash (freeze) FQm4. I have to exit back to Windows, close FQm4, and start again.
- one of the maps (maybe Mukor's?) has a screen shake at one point but no sound as the rumble3.wav is missing.
-breezeep's map has a track missing

I am playing through by loading the maps manually but even then Naitelveni's map still crashes.

One of the maps was too dark for me, so I used FB and realised what great architecture I was missing - there was a superb wooden vaulted ceiling (at least x2) that nobody will ever get to see in the dark; such a shame.

Anyway, I'll finish off playing what I can. Overall, it is good fun. 

Readme says you should use quoth 2.2 from Preach's site and the link 

Do you have preach's quoth update installed (2.2)? Did you launch jam9 with the -quoth command? Either way, I don't remember my map having a missing track when I was making it. Seems like you don't have the q1 music files installed. 

http://www.quaketastic.com/files/demos/sham9_skackychewsballs.zip 

I downloaded and installed all files from the links at the top of this thread. How do I tell if I have the 'correct' 2.2 version?

My bat file is: fitzquake_mark_v.exe -heapsize 256000 -quoth -game jam9 +map start

And no, I don't have Q1 music files installed. They were never installed with the original game; they played direct from the CD. 

*If you are not sure what version of Quoth you have, rename the directory to Old_Quoth.

*Download and install the FULL Quoth 2.2 from Preach's site.

*Ensure this new folder is called Quoth and lives in your Quake directory (it needs to be named Quoth to work!! Not Quoth2 or NewQuoth)

*Install jam9 files under your Quake directory

*Do not use Quakespasm-Spiked r7 to run the mod

*Launch game with this:

-hipnotic -quoth -game jam9

If you have followed these steps the mod should work. 

If you take a look at pak3.pak, it has different "last modified" date and filesize

There is no pak3.pak in the quoth2pt2full.zip download from the link shown in the first post above? Have I got the wrong download? 

There's an update coming for jam9 ? When is it to be expected, approximately ? 

I thought it was pak3 and I won't be able to check on my computer until tomorrow. The quoth2pt2full.zip from TomeofPreach IS the correct version anyway. 

I think 

You STILL need to follow the directions above. The update has little or nothing to do with any trouble people are having with goofy installs/wrong versions. 

The jam9 readme does not mention -hipnotic.

-heapsize 65536 -quoth -game jam9

Are you saying that it is an absolute requirement to have -hipnotic as part of the loading script (I do not have anything in my Quake folder that relates to Hipnotic)?

Are you saying that I cannot have the +map start in my .bat file, because surely that is simple convention? 

I'm sure they could be trained. I want a real one as a pet.

It would be usefull to scratch my back when I need it, and would be fun watching when thrown at the mail guy.

Come on boy, sit ! 

it just changes the hud a bit to display new powerups and weapons afaik 

and you don't need -heapsize for QS or Mark V. readme will be updated with it. 

PuLSaR is correct you don't need it but it's the correct way to run Quoth. From the Quoth readme:

The -hipnotic option enables the Scourge Of Armagon HUD layout that we have utilized for our powerups and weapons. You do not need to have Scourge Of Armagon installed for this to work.

I don't see why +map start.bsp would be an issue either but I would omit it. It should default to the Start map IIRC.

One other note: The earthquake sound in Mukor's map is a known issue and will be fixed in the update.

I want to restate that the update will not fix these compatibility issues. 

I will wait for the update and have another go then. 

Quakespasm (and other modern game engines) will implicitly enable -hipnotic if you specify -quoth. 

You map is so cool. Fantastic work. Saw this yesterday in a architecture book and then played your map today!

A few maps before bedtime.

I kinda hoped Haunters map would have been longer 

The archive has been updated (Download 1), the mirror will be updated soon.

Patch note in readme.
