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:

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. 

is this a finger in low res? 

I thought someone might see that. No offence intended. It's a sprite from extras_r4 particles. 

Some particles are a bit shattered, but it is getting close to what I intented to. The fine structure gets lost in the copying proces.
I started with four splined vertices, but some of them stick together.
So it is wrenching like a spike in a haystack. 

Some new screenshots of my work in progress.
I would say 1/3 has been done.
There's a story that conects all the id-fps and some easter eggs, related to them and other oldschool games too.
Still there's a lot to do and I'm trying to don't play to much with progs_dump. It's such an amazing tool. Thanks to dumptruck again.
Hope I can make some progress in the near future. Theres a prison level to do and that means a much of logical work.

best wishes.

Those neon lights labelling the control room/quarters are hella cool and you should get as many of them into the level as you can get away with.... 

Pretty epic shots. Looking forward to this bad boy. 

I especially like the vibes in the prison screenshot and the preceding screenshot. 

Thanks for the positiv comments.
More neon labells are in work. :) 

i'm mapping, adding a thousand shortcuts and broken tiles along the way.

Looks amazing mfx. Can't wait to play, your maps so far have been some of my favorites of all time.
