Please do. The pack is extremely badly put together last minute, spoiling the ~16 months I put in.
There are several broken external textures and sprites. The first version I uploaded doesn't have the .bsps in it. The second version does.
Luckily the external textures I left in an seperate pack from the main one, so the second patch (hangs head) will just replace that.
For those that downloaded the broken first pack here are the .bsps:

The fixed version will be ready by tonight.
I Had The Luck
...To betatest these maps(too little, to tell the truth, sorry again, Ijed), and gentlemen, you're in for a real treat...
Enjoy!
Packfile Changes

I'll release the exttex pack seperately, so not to have too many fullsize downloads. Its a simple replace of the packfile in the main download, and most won't notice any difference in the original pack anyhow. As well as this the exttex pack is pretty much standalone as well - it'll work for any engine supporting external textures.
I considered pulling the release, but at least its out there.
Spirit:
Unfortunately there's no way to change the volume of the music without modifying the wav's since I used the standard Quoth ambient_generalpurpose code.
nitin:
The engines are modified versions of AguirRe's that include some beta features, namely pack handling alongside the Quoth mod and a few other features mentioned in the readmes.
the silent:
No worries :)
Hope you like the pack.

IMO Spirit is right: scrap the re-releases/updates, get it right and update the original post, there should be only one download to not make things confusing.
Congrats for the release. :P
(I also had the opportunity to test this pack, it�s surely on a scale and quality never seen before in Quake)
And as I�m sure some SDA guys are reading this forum, it�ll be great to honor this release with some nice demos ?!
Yes

I'm waiting for the final version before I start to play this pack. The screenshots look very interesting. I will also try to record some first try demos (if I don't get killed too fast :)
Err.

I've followed the installation instructions to the letter, but when I open GLWarp or Winwarp the following error message pops up:
Quake Error
You must have the registered version to use modified games
and when I try Nehwarp I get this error:
Unable to locate component
This application has failed to start because fmod.dll was not fond. Re-installing the application may fix this problem
Anybody else got this problem?
Ok

The link in the newspost is the file to get now.
If you downloaded it earlier (the non _01.7z), you will need to grab the maps http://shub-hub.quaddicted.com/files/mods_singleplayer/warpbsps.7z if I am correct.
Just wait a night, ijed will upload everything nice tonight. :)
Text_Fish: Are you using the right folder and commandline? the engines must be in /quake, not /quake/folder

The NehWarp fmod.dll issue is my fault, I forgot that the dll is also required to make the engine work. I've uploaded it here: http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k/fmod.7z . Unzip to the same dir as the exes.
The other error I don't know, it appears as if you don't have the registered Quake (pak1).
Minor Clarification
#15 posted by aguirRe on 2007/05/10 22:45:11
The above dll is of course only necessary if you don't have full Nehahra installed: http://nehahra.planetquake.gamespy.com .

It does sound like exactly the error you'd get if the exes weren't in the base quake directory, as they'd be unable to find that text document that tell the engine quake is registered.
I've played some of the pack today, although I've had to ration it to get some revision done. It's been top notch work so far! There are a scary number of spawn about on hard though...
Oh! I See Now.

I was being a twit. I placed the shortcuts in /quake but left the original .exe's in /warp. Dur. :)
Cheers for the help!

SDA is not supporting Quoth based maps.
UPDATE
#19 posted by Spirit on 2007/05/11 10:01:26
A fully fixed and final version is now up. Same link as in the first post: warpspasm.7z
If you downloaded any version before, there were some skins missing. Get this archive: http://shub-hub.quaddicted.com/files/mods_singleplayer/warpskins.7z
I'm gonna play the third map now, really enjoyed it so far (saving often, heh)!
Cheers Spirit

I was putting Quake on hold until I got caught up on some important things, but this I have to see. :)

is another instant classic.
this is amazing stuff, you can see the 16 mths of effort. Lovely work.

shame it won't work in fitzquake. I hate the lighting in regular gl engines (of all maps, not just this) and winquake looks and runs very poorly.
I did play through the first map though. Seems like good stuff so far, and the music is quite spooky. Liking it :)
By the way, the bind for the plasma gun is impulse 250, in case anyone else is having the same problem I was :)

seriously, level one is no indication of what is to come. just keep playing.
Hmm....
#26 posted by metlslime on 2007/05/13 10:47:51
it seems like there's a bug in these gl engines... if the video resolution you choose is not 4:3 ratio, it still sets the vertical fov as if it was ... the result is that everyone looks short and fat when i play at 1680x1050.
I don't have glquake installed at the moment, but it seems like this was not a bug in the original glquake. But I could be wrong...
#27 posted by Trinca on 2007/05/13 11:28:12
ye than first level for me is a litle borring becouse gameplay is very slowed becouse of to much shambers in my opinion... but after that... are level for us not forget good quality and a size of maps real huge
WideScreen
#28 posted by aguirRe on 2007/05/13 11:29:25
There's no explicit support for it in my engines, AFAIK there never was any such support. In GLQuake 0.97, it looks the same and you can't even change fov at all ...
I'd suggest using std 4:3 resolution.

3 instant classics now, nightmare tangent is also fantastic.

bit of a mixed bag for me. the maps are pretty nice for the most part, but 500+ monsters are just far too many to be enjoyable - it became boring, sometimes even annoying after a while (it's ok for one map, not for an entire episode). and it was very, i mean VERY hard on skill 2 - i was constantly low on health and sometimes even ran out of ammo. each map took me about an hour, maybe more, and LOTS of quickloading. switched to skill 1 after three maps and it became much better.
warpa could have been more detailed, still ok.
warpb conveyed a certain atmosphere i can't put my finger on. low lightlevel, fog, gritty textures and vast repetitive environment, the industrial juggernaut i would never want to end up in. by repetitive i mean there weren't many clearly distinct areas, or rather areas that really stood out - at least i had the impression. some bits were pretty bland.
warpc was cool (knave trims are a bitch to align properly). so were warpd and warpe, which had a very cool theme (also an insane amount of secrets, but i hardly found any).
the shortcut teleporters in all of the maps were very handy.
the sleeping player gibbing looked buggy: one could see the telefrag zombie.
what's up with the items' bounding boxes? they are like in qw or something - it's harder to pick them up, requires the player to really touch their center/origin.
quoth: being killed by polyp gibs prints a "fell to this death" message. i still don't like the plasmagun sound - and why did it emit a red light when hitting a wall?
Item Pickups Etc
#31 posted by aguirRe on 2007/05/13 13:54:18
I think it's because ijed rotates the boxes slightly to make it look more realistic, I've seen that before in other maps. It's a nice touch, but annoying.
The polyp gib obituary seems like a QC bug. The red light from PG is just how NehQuake displays that type of effect.
As for boring/hard/easy gameplay, check out the extra coop modes ...
