  • The Gateway to Hell

    After 20 months of work (I admit, I made a half part time effort... as I have been very busy the past year) here is my latest map.
    This is the sequel of "Castle of the Dark Ages", hence some areas will look familiar...
    This map requires Quoth2 and enhanced Quake engine (e.g FitzQuake0.85) as some standard limits have been broken

      Great map, my full comment is at func_. To those who haven't played this yet: grab it now, and don't forget to play "Castle of the Dark Ages" before this one if you never played it.

        All I have to say is wow. Beautiful detail and great gameplay (that goes for both maps). Something seems broken when I played with DirectQ though... I had to rocket jump to get at the portal back to the start area and when I got there, no guards ever appeared. Not to mention that the exit was visible from the start, which I doubt was intentional. Is this actually a problem with the port? Or is the map somehow broken?

        Edit: I forgot to mention that nothing happens when you fall into a void... you just fall and get hurt with normal falling damage and you're stuck there unless you fly or noclip out.

          The map is great!

          Interesting about falling into the void. I did it and died
          If you see 427 playing Quake thats me.

            Make sure you have Quoth installed and turned [On]

            Unzip The Gateway to Hell into it's own subfolder and select it with the
            "change gamedir" option in menu like so:



            Then set your preferred skill level with the skill command (0=Easy, 1=Normal, 2=Hard, 3=Nightmare)
            and start the map with: map gatetohell

              @ChronoSeth: I didn't have these issues. I played using fitzquake 0.85 the way =peg= explained it:

              Code:
              fitzquake085.exe -game quoth -heapsize 64000 +skill 0 +map gatetohell

                JPL, if you don't mind I will probably edit your post starting this thread to better maximize use the of QuakeOne front page layout (i.e. embed the images, etc, etc.).

                So while you guys all have to fight your anti-matter counterparts, me and my evil twin will be drinking a beer laughing at you guys ...

                    Make sure to use
                    Code:
                    -hipnotic -game quoth
                    or even better if your engine supports it out of the box
                    Code:
                    -quoth
                    I think Fitz 085 does so

                      Ah, I forgot to turn Quoth on. Still a wonderful map.

                        Got it working with Darkplaces engine...I think I have the version just before the current release, so far no problems. Thanks for the map, I have not played Quake in months.
