Hi,

This demo includes single player released early?

[golden_boy]

Nope, it doesn't include the e3m1rq map, but you can use this demo to play singleplayer on the normal Quake maps (and Scourge of Armagon, I think).

You could probably take e3m1rq.bsp from the earlier demo, and put it into quake/id1/maps, and then load it under this demo - should work.

If you feel like some testing you could try playing it in Quoth and Nehahra maps as well. We added wrappers that would swap their enemies for our own. It's not foolproof since supporting all the entities of those combined mods is probably impossible.

Basic maps should work though.

I can make a singular download of e3m1rq if you want.

I would appreciate that. Thanks.

There you go:

It's had no fixes, so it's just as-is, with all the previous errors unaddressed.

From the few minutes I spent playing around, I have to say the deathmatch beta (or alpha or preview) is very impressive.

Bots, observer mode, motd ... it's very nice.

I was however trying it on my laptop essentially keyboarding it as a result so I couldn't get much of a feel for anything except the atmosphere of the map.

But reading through the readme and everything, it does seem different.

I think the best thing about this project is the "alternate perspective".

What I mean by this is that this is really is a "new retro mod". It is old school and doesn't cater to fads and that is very appealing.

Case in point, some comments about the Quake Remake YouTube video expect a "skin-deep" project with "shiny new models" and, in fact, it is quite the opposite -- it 1996 Quake in a new light and something not quite Quake 1 or Quake 2 and not quite between them either.

Almost a contrarian point of view. I love that.
