great!

cant wait to see 

I'm not at my editing setup or a copy of Quake or even the internet at the moment... thanks to negke for a LOT of last-minute testing, I hope there are no remaining issues (since I wasn't able to test myself after the last few entity tweaks). And thanks to PM who put a ton of work into having the progs/code ready on time. Sorry it wasn't quite in time for QEXPO 2011. 

thanks for this one tronyn. still downloading, but sshots are promising. looking for the new version of arcanum - hope i'll have a new pc by that time so i 'll be able to play these monster maps via darkplaces without any fps drops.

as for your plan to re-release your previous maps/mods again with drake mod.... that's ambitious, but there's no doubt you'll succeed. you have never let us down :-)

downloading finished. i've just started and there's one thing i'd like to ask .... that "palm" holding one of the skill teleports seems quite familiar t ome. i'm sure i have seen it in some vip picture years ago. 

If your Quake engine of choice is FitzQuake or Quakespasm, max_edicts MUST BE RAISED TO 2000 or higher! This is because the snow effect in unf2 raises edicts used to a number above 1000.

Impulse 17 = Music toggle
Impulse 72 = Corpse removal (disables snow too)

I just found a few minor bugs in unf3. One of the bosses is missing a spawnflag, and another is missing a sound precache. The pack is still playable, but there will be a progs update soon. 

Tronyn you and Necros are Quake GODS, if I was John Carmack your ass�s whould be mine :p.

what a talent and dedication!

will play very soon and leave the comments, thanks again :) 

So can Dry Sorrow and Sludge factory be played under this?

Also, if the new Arcanum is going to be rebalanced, maybe it will be good to have the old but vised version of the arcanum maps to download. You said it was on your computer, right Tronyn? 

Thank you Tronyn and PM for another highly enjoyable pack - a fitting finisher for this year's expo indeed.

Each of the maps felt like a different experience altogether. The first one is the most Quake-y of the three and works great as an introduction. Unfortunately, it also suffers from overpopulation. The second map is my favourite. Offering a balanced mix of exploration and action, packed with an always welcome snowy theme and fitting music, it's just like beloved Hexen sans the monsters - top-notch stuff. The last one returns to the horde combat of the first, but this time serves it in on a much bigger scale and comes out a more satisfying experience in the end. It's on par with classic Doom levels, both thematically and gameplay wise.

What's more, with a little care and ammo conservation, the whole package is beatable on skill2 without frustration. Sure, it feels like 'work' from time to time but that happens with every map out there that comes packed with 400+ monsters.

Notes
Second secret of unf2, underwater 'weapons stash' turns out to be empty? / The actual monster counts and the ones mentioned in the readme don't match.

Demos (sk2)
unf1 30m 5/5s 411/411k
unf2 31m 2/3s 321/344k
unf3 44m 4/6s 458/464k 

I have not tried the pak and progs with all of Tronyn's other maps, but it should work. The precache bug in Arcanum should be gone. 

but pretty unplayable to me, wich settings & engine are most recommended? used fitzquake with a pretty large heapsize and higher max edicts but still very choppy 

Try directq or Aguirre Quake with -nomtex 

Loving those screenshots Tronyn, really creative work, great atmosphere. Looking forward to playing it. 

skill 3 , and i must say this version is much easier than an original beta was. but still great
no demo though

stealing textures from other games is a no no. i see doom and q3 textures there man.
