Phen, looks like you have a follower and he's giving us a warning that you cause some negative side effects?

Thanks Phenom for editing the news article for the front page format.

Greatly appreciated.

Not a problem

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.

[ChronoSeth]

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

[Spirit]

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

Make sure to use

-hipnotic -game quoth

or even better if your engine supports it out of the box

-quoth

I think Fitz 085 does so

I am glad everybody enjoyed playing the map: thanks guys !

@Baker: Please do, I don't mind... and afterall, this is your forum website right ? I am just an humble "post-er" here

[Baker]

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.).

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

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

[=peg=]

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

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

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.

[ChronoSeth]

Wow, those screenshots look great. I'll have to download this tonight.
