The Beta Testers +++ 
That was faster than I expected. I haven't even finished my beer.

This is an incredible community and it showed as I got very close to getting things release quality -- tons of beta testing help with great detail, made it so I could solve remaining issues quickly!

Ericw provided a key assist with something I was struggling with regarding the German keyboard.

I hope Gunter (co-op server operator) sticks around sees how great this place is! 
Nehraha Fog 
Thanks for putting the nehahra fog in! 
 
I read the thread for every issue ever reported.

Might as well do everything right, even if it meant somewhere in the world, a puppy must die.

Better engine coders than myself would have Quaked in fear.

Me? I just wanted it to work perfect so I could finally play it ;-) And when I got it right a couple of weeks ago, I played it for 3 hours. 
 
lol If you want Mark V to be able to play everything, you can try to support that old version of Industri. The Maps are nice even if the shadows can't be supported 
Congrats! 
Great that you decided to resume working on this before next year after all! Just hoping that it isn't the end of the road yet. I am still dreaming of vanilla-style underwater warping! :P
Anyway, thanks a lot for your continued work on this port and your determination to turn it into the best way to play Quake for fans of its retro look (while still offering/allowing many nice visual enhancements)! 
Ne_ruins? 
The engine crashes for me somewhere half way through ne_ruins second level, shortly before or after obtaining the gold key (not in a specific area). I recall this issue existed in previous versions as well, since the mod demands a very specific amount of edicts or something.

Other than that, the engine seems to be really awesome, I especially appreciate the faithful software renderer with proper resolution upscaling. Thanks a lot for all the effort! 
 
In Malice, +attack doesn't move the probe. Quaskespasm has the same problem.

The probe is an inventory item, it can be found at the end of the first (tutorial) level.

It works in vanilla Winquake. 
LAN Co-op Example 
Co-Operative Play Example

Computer 1:
- Type "install travail" (Downloads from Quaddicted)
- Type "game travail; maxplayers 4; coop 1; teamplay 1; map start"

Computer 2:
- Type "install travail"
- Type "connect lan"

BOOM! Your done. And you have a per-player monster kills scoreboard. Mark V clients auto-switch gamedir and detect LAN severs.

Maps without co-op spawns --- for the first 5 seconds after spawn, players are transparent and can walk through other players. Feature can be turned off via sv_coopenhancements 0.

The Undergate is an example of a map without co-op spawns. 
@pathogen, Dwere And (mandel If He Ever Sees This Thread) 
@mandel if you see this thread -- dwere had an issue with cl_autodemo. Mark V now defaults it to 0, but you may need to set it manually. Mark V has had autodemo on for years and about no one had a problem with it, but nevertheless now defaults off.

@dwere - Malice. Thanks for the info.

@pathogen - Mark V uses 8192 edicts. I've played ne_ruins through to the end multiple times, but not lately. Sounds like something to check out when the time comes for the next version.
