Creative and atmospheric. Some proportions don't seem quite right but already as a beta version it's inspiring. Nice one.
I was just trying to find this the other night since I remembered the screenshots. Didn't realize it wasn't released yet.
Love the upsidedownness. I need to test this later if I have time but...too many releases lately (not a bad thing!). has put up a page for his beta here.
Here are you better look at those chasm monsters

It's about a 10-15 minute playthrough map. I am very close to finishing it. Need to refine skill 2 and 3 then some cosmetic things. So close!
They're looking good, yhe1!
I'm playing though the first levels, and it is quiet an atractive mod. Looking at the packed file, I think I'm not the first one who wonders, how to get grip on these rather unusual bin files? If you are talking about the models, I am not sure they can be extracted because they are in an unknown format.
The following link is the closes I found https://www.doomworld.com/vb/xwe/52039-xwe-and-chasm-the-rift/ That's a hint in the good direction.
I didn't realize using dosbox had already created an extra map with further info about the game. It looks as if this mod is more for win98, or better MSDOS. Most of the addons won't like winxp. The mapeditor looks like an early version of the first doom editors I remember. Rather kinky because there are no faq's. Transferring all to my old computer, see how far I can get. I didn't know they made addons for this mods too. I wonder what I can extract. While trying to unzip the chasmmap editor I chunked on an error.
Just tinkering a bit with the ventilation shaft. Hard to get the velocity right, as quake uses 0.1 sec /frame. Not bad afterall, see what I can do. ventilator wadfile The wad is just the start of the ventilation shaft. It is slow, I know. You can get 0.05s frames with this trick: https://tomeofpreach.wordpress.com/2016/02/10/high-fps-texture-animations/
Nice vent. I messed with it and the problem is there are too many blades. With less blades it would not be a big deal to make it go faster but, with so many tiny blades anything past this speed is either going to look like it's moving backwards or moving very slowly forward.
I also removed your "lump" in the spin. Well, as much as possible considering the center is not round. vent.wad vent.gif If you want to make this yourself due to some anomaly or whatever that my version may contain but like the fan speed....
I rotated the blade from 0 to 50 degrees over 5 frames at 10 frames a second. Up to 53 degrees still looked pretty smooth. Anything less than 50 or more than 53 started creating problems. Trying to use less than 5 frames and capture only a blade width of spin was too obvious. Using more than 5 frames produced results that were no better than the 5 frame way. I'm pretty confident I got it about as good as you can expect considering the graphic and the FPS. work Gypsy. That is a lot better.
I used three animated pares of frames to influence the velocity, but with Qmaster's hint I'll try out Preach concept. As I dived into the Chasm game further, I decided to redraw the whole texture file into a wad file. Some textures become pale as the chasm pal is different to Quake, but the most come out good. Another thing is quake hasn't transparant textures, or I have to change them to sprites which is ugly. Better to fill them up to a better content. The map editor is more stubborn, I never got Doom maps right. As the monsters they're quiet hard to purchase. But I like a challenge.
