Thank you for giving feedback. This end up being just weird piece of map, but at least I had fun mapping it. There was intended to be story where player starts in a cage in black void and talks with the old one, player must found the contract that is held in giant building (some twisted business man)... But that never happened, it was too risky for this time frame.
Then I started an another red brick castle map, with nasty traps and darkness.. had a bit of feeling of American McGee Alice castle maps.. but I think it is better appreciation comes later in a different form, I wouldn't release this one ever otherwise if mjb wouldn't have motivated me to finish it. Well I'm glad you finished it because it's a great map, probably my favorite of yours. Strikes a good balance between difficulty and fun.
I was playing around on Kell's map and found several possible quick routes to the exit! This one seems fastest (7 seconds):

Another gorgeous map. Rather amazing how much the big copper ring/stargate adds to the atmosphere by simply rotating. Very imposing architecture. Loving the classic gothic openings in the walls - if I had the time to explore the outside of my map I would have gone for a very similar look. The aesthetic reminded me of Q3A quite a lot, with the focus on spires, spikes, and flesh (and the orange skybox of course). Found the beginning of the map somewhat frustrating but the gameplay improved past that by a fair bit. I messed up and completely wasted the RA so had the cheese the final fight on my second attempt. It was also pretty dark on gamma 1 somehow. All in all a highly enjoyable map! You may want to look around the start map carefully though.
#134: Do you have the latest versions of Quakespasm/Mark V? If not, update. This may have been reported already, but I have encountered a glitch, seemingly with the change level trigger on Shotros map. It seems the player is supposed to gather a series of runes in order to progress. I collect the first rune from the Chthon battle and jump in the void and the map ends, 14/200 some odd kills.
My demos are here. Note: I found the Chthon battle impossible, endlessly killed or knocked into the lava, so the 2nd demo picks up after the fight and then the map ends almost right after. http://www.quaketastic.com/files/demos/redfield_shotrodems.zip There also seems to be a lot of unfortunate bleeding of rooms through the skybox but I'm not sure if that is fixable. Otherwise the really trippy vibes and crazy Austin Powers teleporter were cool. I have Preach's Quoth 2.2 full release. I have the latest QS. I am missing several CD tracks apparently, but I do have the
That last message is because Mandel's demo was recorded on the old version of the map bundled with the first release.
Good thinking. What's up with the CD tracks then? I've noticed CD tracks missing on a lot of maps I play, but I can still hear global ambient noise. I guess that's built into whatever theme is set for the map in worldspawn? I forget how that works in Quake.
I'm not too sure. The tracks should be placed inside id1/music and named trackXX.ogg (or mp3), from 02 to 11. Jam 9 features two new tracks inside quoth/music, named track13 and track128 respectively.
Starts in twenty minutes. Continuing forward, with Mukor's map on deck.
https://www.twitch.tv/ionous Yup, that's how my files look. Maybe the message is wrong and it does actually read them? Not sure.
The particular maps that don't play a track, delusional bears comes to mind, are because the author did not specify a track. It defaults to track 0 and nothing plays as track 0 is data and does not exist. You see this in the console. You can simply command it to play a track of your own at this point.
Gonna go through the maps real quick and see which maps give me CD errors. To clarify, this is the error message I get: "CDAudio_Play: Bad track number xx".

dbear dumptruck giftmacher haunter ionous kell mjb mukor naitelveni newhouse otp pulsar shotro skacky All of the demos have been recorded using QuakeSpasm 0.92.1 (Aug 23 2016) and been compressed through 7-Zip 15.14 (x64)'s LZMA2 method. I've played the maps following the filename order - maps from the original package was used for the first seven, and the ones from the updated package was used for the rest (since the update came right in the midst of my session). All demos are more-or-less complete first-runs on skill2: expect wandering for secrets, gazing for screenshots and dying here and there. Have to mention that ShoTro's is an exception - not a first run since it took sometime to get the idea behind the map, not a complete run since I couldn't find a newly opened-up area after getting hold of the second rune and going for the third run. Comments will follow. The ones with track 0 errors also give an additional error about how it couldn't find track 0; makes sense.
Breezeep: track 6 DelusionalBear: track 0 Dumptruck: track 1 (track 1 is not audio) Haunter: track 7 Ionous: track 4 Kell: track 11 Giftmacher: track 0 OK, you get the point. On some of them - like track 4 and track 7 - I still hear music, but track 11 in Kell's map just sounds like the ambient noise. I'm confused. Some of the authors may deliberately not specify a track because they may assume the player is going to have there itunes (or whatever those kids use today) playing anyways.
Dumptrucks map uses a new track that must be in your jam9/music folder. It is track 128. It is a very good original track by Mugwump. It seems from your error messages you aren't using Quakespasm. I don't know how music works in your engine of choice, but if installed correctly Mugwump's track will play on Dumptruck's map, at least in Quakespasm. I did check out the new music tracks already, they are both very cool and sound appropriate for Quake. Which map uses track 12?
I am using Quakespasm 0.92.1. I am hearing track 128 in dumptruck's map.
