right, from what little i can gather from googling, i type playdemo [name of map] then hit enter.
i have tried dropping the extracted demo file into: 1) quake directory 2) id1 directory 3) ad directory so far nothing. the only thing i can think of is that the demo file is only compatible with the original horde of zendar mod, but somehow not with the version included with the arcane dimensions pack? i've been wanting to try out MaxED's simple quake launcher, so i will try the original mod and the demo file before clocking some zee's tonight. if i don't manage that in the meantime, hopefully someone can put me straight! MaxED's launcer works like a charm, i'm glad to say!
booted up the original horde of zendar mod no problems, bit the following command seems wrong. playdemo zendarnightmareisforpussies That demo from http://celephais.net/board/view_thread.php?id=60985&start=67&end=67#67 is for the original release of the map (not AD):
http://www.simonoc.com/files/maps/sp/zendar1d.zip I just extracted that, and put the skill 3 demo for updated version of ad_e2m2
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CFFpwr12GnuU-XpAatCcRE9Yz7rPe0m4/view?usp=sharing one of the greatest remakes ever. a huge kudos to sock 96/96 kills 9 out of 10 secrets found Spy's demos are pretty entertaining if you haven't caught them I highly recommend a view. Haven't watched this one but will do once everyone in RL stops bugging me.

This is heavily modified and may only work properly in TB1/2. Most entities that allow you to supply a model will now display the model you choose. Most of them will switch skins. Most monsters will switch skins as well. It was hard to provided for every scenario. For example, zombies with a custom skin will display the default skin if they are also Crucified/On Floor. Keys wont switch models based on worldtype(but they will if you supply a new skin under exactskin), theyll only stay as medieval keys..etc... This also includes lots of things the current The AD map source files are not needed or viewed much
It's always handy to look at some things, the logic_gates and so on congrats the AD team and happy NY Why is the date of the first message is 2016/12/04 ? Should be 2017/12/31 instead.
Nice work on the FGD, Mukor! Super useful.
A question for the group Is there a way to launch AD without having the menu pop up? Like, in working a level, I'm constantly having to launch the game and then hit ESCAPE before I can actually play. Is there a way to just launch straight into gameplay using +map? Hey Sock.
ac_ad: While I still need to play the original map to get some further perspective, I'll give a few comments anyway regarding how I feel about it. The geometry was excellent, and had a very clean feel. It didn't feel very sock-ish, but I wonder if that was a homage to the original map. The button find was enjoyable for the most part and I didn't feel like any were too crazy out of the way. There was one portion underwater where the player runs out of air fairly easily. I didn't notice an envirosuit either, so it's kind of awkward as a gameplay mechanic, especially if the player is traversing over it multiple times looking for the buttons. *spoilers incoming* In terms of gameplay, the pre and post button find secret enemies lead to a very different gameplay experience. The first half being far more cautious, and the base enemies were far more "run and gun". I played on nightmare and felt that it was maybe a touch too easy. In the end I gave up hunting down all the enemies because the map is so big and maze like that it was difficult to find them all. I think I had maybe eight left when I exited the level. If I were to suggest an improvement it would be to close off portions of the map when you open up the button find secret, so that when the base enemies spawn the player can be directed to them better. Now having said all this, I thoroughly enjoyed the map. s1m1: A really nice little homage / remix of e1m1. It was nice to see your take on the iconic stuff we all know so well. Good job keeping the secrets so similar in feel to the originals too. Gameplay was nice, and had a very faithful vibe. It was nice to see a bite sized map come from you, it was a pleasant change :) Again, some great releases. Thanks for keeping working on this, even though you keep saying that it's finished and won't be worked on again XD I guess a workaround is just to leave Quakespasm running and bind a key to "restart"
Is this a bug?
My AD folder is called "ad", and is placed inside the same folder containing all my other mods. When I launch QS with the command "-game ad", it doesn't load the AD mod, and gives the default ID instead. Selecting the AD mod from within the QS MODS menu shows the name "ad. 7". (what is happening here!?). If I call my AD folder as "ad1.7", then using the command "-game ad1.7" works fine. What is happening here? Something is fishy with the AD name and/or version number. More AD goodness. Here is 100% Arcane Adamantine demo. Skill 2, first run, its a little long:
