------------IMPORTANT------------------------------
If you are gonna play this map take this into account:
*Dont pause the game in any way while you are in the map, this desyncs events timed to the music.
*Dont quickload a save of the map, You have to always start on the begining of it, as the music will also start from the begining too.
*This map ONLY AND EXCLUSIVE WORKS WITH Quoth 2.2. It it isnt played in quoth, the map breaks(This goes to you Barnak)
*If you cant get the music to work...get it to work
*This map contains flashing lights so look out for that.
*This is more of a recomendation but turn the music up before playing it.
---------------------------------------------------
This version adds some health and replaces edies with dogs. If you are gonna play this map play it in Quoth 2.2. It doesnt work properly if its played on something else.

Hey all -
I'm getting close to releasing my first map in 20 years. It's really incredible to see that the Q1 scene is still thriving and so many passionate people helping it grow. Exciting to get back into it.

If anyone would like to check out my map, The Lost Tomb, here are some shots:

And here's the pre-release version (I haven't written the readme yet...let me know if that's not kosher):

Still need to tweak some lighting and stuff like that but please fire away with any feedback you have. I'm particularly interested in weapon/monster placement/balance. I'm sort of thinking the last bit might be a little too ridiculous, but please give me your thoughts. 

Proper Id style and harmonious theme. 

Very good. 

wooden caskets in a flooded room -- those won't last long :) 

Two options: either that room hadn't been previously flooded, or it has, and those caskets were never meant to last long :)

OP: I strongly recommend you set gl_anisotropy to the highest value you can, it will make your linear filtered look much crisper (no more blurring into nonsense towards the horizon). 

This map is a bit too retro for my taste, but it's okay (it's just me anyway).

I got stuck (ie "glued") on a moving wall, under water (the first secret in the start room). I had to use noclip to get away from that funny position.

I feel that the map is too "rectangular", too old school. It needs more broken parts, random bits, rocks or traps here and there. More "out of this world" details and weird decorations on the walls.

But hey, I'm a moron of epic level, so ... 

Thanks all!

@Barnak - was that inside of the secret area, I'm guessing? I'll try hitting it with some clip brushes to see if that helps. 

Here is a demo with comments if you wanna check it out:

Downloaded, watched, and took notes! I noticed a few things that I hadn't before as well! Thanks a bunch! 

Thank you so much for all of the great feedback! I've released the map here: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/single_player/maps/losttomb.zip 

First screenshot of the project that is at a point where I feel I've done something worth the effort: http://www.quaketastic.com/files/jrbase1_map.png 

That's pretty cool. Need a tester? I use Macs at work and would be happy to help on occasion. 

That would be great! I'll work on bringing up a release as soon as possible. There is still some code that needs to be reenabled, tool views and command-line tools to finish porting. But I'm confident I will be able to do it soon enough. 

But happy to help when you are ready. 

Just wanted to post some screenshots of what i have been working on so you can tell me what you think.

that ladder out of the lava looks useful. :)

This is obviously wrong. Yet, this is proof that QuakeEd for MacOS actually works - all strange things you see happen only because 1) I'm using fake, wrongly built textures and 2) I exported a map with entities randomly taken out.

At some point today I'll be posting v 1.0.1 of the application, the test_maps folder and the engine executable, so you can also create and run an instance of this... masterpiece ;D 

This is a test map I created using QuakeEd and a modified qbsp to allow more than 256 entities to be generated:

http://quaketastic.com/files/lotsofdoors.zip

It's a plain floor, with about 240 doors, of the common, run-of-the-mill "approach to open" variety.

This, obviously, won't run on vanilla, unmodified Quake. I was, however, curious about the other engines. Can I convince you guys to open this map and tell me if it works as expected? 

Works just fine in Quakespasm. 

My first attempt to create a forcefield for Quake1. It is still a bit chunky, it needs more variety in surface. So far it is more checking out what works, size and appearance. 

I won't force youtube to field my access!

You may want to make the particles little crosses with a dark, medium and light variance. Similar to this.
