Func_Msgboard: New Q1SP (AD) Forgotten Sepulcher

Posted by Giftmacher on 2017/06/17 10:06:40

Rejoice!

The next big release for Arcane Dimensions is finally here! This a technical masterpiece and a monster of a map with roughly 60k brushes. All beautifully realized by Simon, and made possible through the engine updates by Eric. Please take note that you need AD 1.5 and the new engine provided in this thread to play the map. I would also recommend reading the ad_sepulcher readme for further information.

** this map requires a new engine and AD 1.5 **

That the AD download link should be updated with 1.6.

Or is it already ?

I appreciate ... but it still doesn't work! :-(

both the engines (admod and spike-admod) give the error message "You must have the registered version to use modified games". No error message with Quakespasm 92.1, but obviously it crashes when I enter the Forgotten Sepulchre's gate.

Do I need other original files other than PAK0.PAK and PAK1.PAK in ID1?

..It works now! sorry for the mess!
I've just copied and pasted the engines!

Thanks!

I had the same problem as Icaro. Regular QS works fine. I had to supply -basedir /Applications/Quake to make it work.

"Do I need other original files other than PAK0.PAK and PAK1.PAK in ID1?"

I have a clean copy of Quake I use as a starting point. It contains 5 files and one folder. Fitzquake085.exe is in the root folder and in the ID1 folder there is only pak0.pak, pak1.pak, autoexec.cfg and config.cfg

autoexec.cfg is a custom file and not needed. config.cfg is created the first time the game is run if not already present.

Note that I use Windows 7, I have no idea if it works the same on other operating systems.

Going To Be Playing Through The Rest Of This

Starts in an hour. Played two hours, and I'm about halfway through. To the finish!

When I go to your Twitch page, select the videos tab and click the Forgotten Sepulcher video, it plays the Jam 9 mapping video instead. WTF?

I map for about five minutes before I start playing.

Oh, OK. Thanks.

Two things :

1. While I can launch the sepulcher map from the console, I'm unable to find its portal from the start map. Where is it ?

2. Just at the start of sepulcher (that part is soooo amazing, by the way), I'm getting several sound not loading warning in the opper-left corner :

"sound/ambience/windgust1, 2, 3, ..."

What is happening here ?

#47 posted by Mugwump on 2017/06/19 03:31:14

1. In the Chapters start map, first portal to the right.

And Where Is The Entrance To The Chapters Start Map ?

#48 posted by Barnak on 2017/06/19 03:38:11

hmm, I'm lost here.

And What About The Sounds Not Found ?

#49 posted by Barnak on 2017/06/19 03:39:15

I don't have any files called windgust in my ambience folder... something's fishy here.

#50 posted by Mugwump on 2017/06/19 03:41:54

To the right of the entrance to ad_crucial.

Ok, I Think I Got The Sounds Back.

#51 posted by Barnak on 2017/06/19 03:42:41

WTF happened to my sound files ? I hade to redownload AD1.5...

No Nightmare Skill In The Chapters Start Map ?

#52 posted by Barnak on 2017/06/19 04:02:03

I'm looking for the nightmare skill in the chapters start map. Even with noclip, can't find any ? FTW ?

Secret Button For Nightmare...

Is by ad_zendar entrance, walk up to the non-entrance door and turn around ;)

Thanks Damage_corp !

In the new c
sepulcher map, I love thos exploding balloon-like bastards. Funny as hell !

This map is really awesome.

And the new visual effects are really great too. They add alot to the atmosphere.

Impossibly Good

...when the size of an uncompressed demo for a single map exceeds 5gb :D

Awesome, as expected. Got 33 or so secrets, missed less than 30 monsters, I guess it's a success... Some buttons behind wooden bars seemed impossible to press, that was confusing, wonder if something was broken. Not completely sure about what did I accomplish by finishing the sacrifice, killing all the kraken children and unleashing the lich fiend :D

Playthrough -
