Yeah 
I thought I fixed them all :(

Each step (at least the fixed) isn't a block but a trapezoid beveled in 2 units on the lower rectangle.

I'll do another pass on that as well. 
About Coop 
Something fun to try ...

If you play coop, Mark V shows per player scores in coop if you press TAB. 
Just Playing These Maps Now... 
A bit late to the game I know...

Man, that telefragged map is brutal. So long. And I got so lost! 
Telefragged 
Played through it again a few days ago, this time on skill 2. What really stood out this time were the giant shoggoths. In several instances because of the game engine it looked like they were melting through the walls and protruding out, making for a very disturing and surreal FPS experience. Like I said in a previous post it reminds me a lot of AvP2 or some sort of Gigeresque nightmare. All that's missing are Droles and Vorelings bursting through the walls randomly and swarming the Iron Hand soldiers :) 
The Big Limitation 
In Quake are the models.

I know how to model but my animation is very weak.

The concept of the Iron Hand was to expand the Enforcer enemy into an entire culture. They've been reskinned a tonne and some interesting variations have been made (Rubicon, Mexx) but there's a lot of room in the Quake universe for a technology / eldritch mix.

Quake2 wasn't it. For me it was the game version of the film Virus.

Maybe one day I'll develop the concept and browbeat / bribe enough talented people to actually put it together.

I humbly link some stuff:

The Iron Hand version of a Drole would be a lot more terrifying.

For those of you waiting for the RRP patch, it is in progress, current version is 1.02. 1.03 should be the release candidate, made possible by Eric, MFX and Parabaru.

All the known bugs were fixed and I added EricW's dirtmapping why not (thanks Eric).

Great Patch 
Thanks, ijed, and jakub.

Though I personally have never noticed any bug in RRP... Guess I can never be a good tester.

Thanks for the file inclusion Jakub - I'm kind of surprised it runs at all in DP, just for the custom gameplay Qc - mainly the ammo boxes. 
 
dirtmapping tends to lower the overall brightness of the map quite a lot... 
I Tried To Make 
The corners more shadowed but not affect the gameplay areas.

Some secrets are a bit darker now. 
Dirtmap Screens? 
 
Darkplaces Compatility 
i tested the whole pack and even monster level like telefragged works fine in darkplaces. i encountered noticeble fps slowdown only in the incenerator area. other parts of the level were ok.
-
there was only one bug i found. in telefragged, there is a secret quaddamage behind the glass door that can be opened by shooting the button on the floor through the crack in the nearby window pane. the button is inaccesible behind the glass under the crate at first and when the crate explodes the explosion cracks the glass so that you can shoot the red button on the floor. the crate explodes and cracks the glass, but the button doesn't work. it worked in the original version, but doesn't work in the updated version released a few weeks ago. i haven't tried the new version yet. 
Oops.. Typo 
incenerator = incinerator :-) 
Screens 
Will take some today.

As to that secret - I tested it last night and it was fine, but in Quakespasm. 
Bug 
i'll try it again with the new version when i get home. the button is already in the "pushed" state when the glass cracks so that you can't shoot it again. 
Is The Crosshair Illuminated? 
It turns off when activated (receives damage) and opens the door. 
 
"incenerator = incinerator :-) "

Thanks for that correction. I had NO idea what you were trying to say there ... 
Bug Is Dead 
i've just tested version 1.03 and button works it's supposed to. 
Thanks 
 
Shit I Forgot The Screenshots 
Coming soon :) 
 
ijed, nice! Going to have to replay with the patch soon. Sorry I copped out on playtesting 
Well 
Without your tools and engine support this pack wouldn't have happened at all :)
