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:

S1M1 - beautiful design, structures and detailing, great execution of Idbase. I felt like it could have done with an extra 50% monsters, there's loads of space and room to move etc, it would still have been quite easy but maybe more satisfying. ADACABAA - another great design, so much curvature and intricacy. The areas kinda blended into one but when the theme's this strong that's all good, just really consistent meaty Quakecture throughout. Meaty gameplay too, well balanced and fun, start was a teeny bit hard depending on route but later on it was spot on. I failed dismally at secrets. Two very sweet releases to end the year on :) Makes me want a full re-imagining of OG episode one in AD even more now.
First jam of 2018? :P ADAC: and my car hasn't even broken down, yet!
Very nice remix. Looks amazing of course, and visually a bit more varied than the orginal, at least as far as I remember it. Gameplay was fun and less of a grind thanks to the widow maker and general balance/pacing. The super secret is still cool. Took me a while to find all the buttons, though. Rewarding base carnage as a bonus; however, my enjoyment of that was lessened by the fact that I already had backtracked through the entire map several times in search for the buttons. The watcher secret is particularly hilarious in this sense, as I could imagine him dying of extreme bordom watching me. Demo with smooth gameplay up until the end, followed by a skippable search part. GJ Sockdur Got 5/6 this time. Demo from a quicksave near the end. The supersecret is fucking dope as fuck :)
http://www.quaketastic.com/files/demos/sham_adacfuckingsecrets.7z I've chatted with Sock about this recently. He doesn't have time to update the FGD for each release. However he does update the

May have some questions soon, but I'll wait until I have it completed and fully functional. There are some things I don't understand yet, so even though they work in the editor it's not clear what you are setting and why! I will put it up on quaketastic and/or email it to sock when finished.
