If you want to use AD, you can try darkplaces (sock mentioned it works), map will crash with AD + quakespasm combination.
Should run fine with QS without any mods too. Haven't played it, but I think it crashes, because the map uses sounds in combination with the trigger hack. Each sound needs to be precached, which can only be done by regular entities that have the specific sound set. Quite possibly such triggers may not even have a sound effect at all.
You are right. I'm using 'noise' keys in fake buttons. Had some problems with it myself while building.
I'm sure I set other real buttons to use this sounds and that solved it for me. Yep, just checked it and there is definitely regular entities using that same sounds in the map. Precache happens on map load and not on actually playing that sound, right? Yes, on map load.
If properly precached, "noise" may be fine then. Setting "sounds" won't work. I skipped the part where AAS mentioned playing with AD. It might just be the case that AD treats those sounds/precaches differently. I quite liked the start of the map, wandering around with no enemies in sight. Don't know if it's the feel you were going for, but perhaps omitting the rotfish and delaying any other enemy encounters even longer would have made the buildup to the inevitable ambush even more suspenseful.
I'm generally not a fan of huge maps with hundreds of enemies and tens of secrets. One reason is simply personal preference, I tend to prefer smaller maps that take less time to complete. But an even bigger reason is the tendency to get lost, which did happen to me on several occasions in this map. Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention at certain points, but some areas seemed to be maybe a bit too interconnected, in that the correct way to proceed was too obtuse. Another factor that detracts from my enjoyment of huge maps is that looking for secrets becomes somewhat of a chore, as there's so much more ground to cover. I missed quite a lot of secrets, and subsequently kills, in the map, even though I feel like I searched quite carefully. Anyway, it's not that I didn't enjoy the map at all, I did. Just setting personal preferences aside, I think if the layout had been more streamlined and less confusing, I'd enjoyed it even more. skill 3, 192/211 kills, 11/18 secrets demo You are a victim of your own skill, mate.
Most players have fewer places to search for secrets because they can't reach those spots. Several jumps was quite surprising and overall demo is highly educational on movement. Thank you. I can only guess that near the end you got tired of the map, since before that search-method had astonishing thoroughness and it shows. You found a lot of secrets. Also 4 or 5 of them was nested so it's more like 11/14. Was pretty cool and very rewarding. The end secret was wierd.
Oh...PS, everyone checks under plats nowadays. Some of you clever mappers are being quite tauntingly mean by putting messages under lifts saying "Nothing under here". You have to play this one to get it ;)
https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/dwmtf.html such type of maps with a lot of secrets and unforgettable atmosphere of abandoned base where you need explore to proceed. Matroshka secrets are great. When to expect a continuation?
Yes, I know of course about it and even about this:
