i think having it scale by level would be good. that way theres a skill/challenge change between skill levels.

The "shooting the air next to them and hitting them" thing is caused by a combination of things in the qc:
1. monsters have FL_MONSTER in their .flags.
2. MOVETYPE_FLYMISSILE (as opposed to MOVETYPE_FLY) hits FL_MONSTER flagged entities with a box 15 units larger in all directions.

So if you fire missiles with MOVETYPE_FLY instead of MOVETYPE_FLYMISSILE, you hit the real box.

You might notice the big box behavior (hitting the air near a monster) only applies to these missiles, not shotgun blasts and the like (though if desired you can actually get that to happen by passing 2 as the nomonsters parameter (which as dpextensions.qc explains is actually the movement type, like MOVE_NORMAL = 0, MOVE_NOMONSTERS = 1, MOVE_MISSILE = 2, those all work in stock Quake, however DP adds two more: MOVE_WORLDONLY = 3, MOVE_HITMODEL = 4 (actual per poly hit detection).

I was short on time this week to map and decided to do a lighting pass in the small hours of the morning. At the time it looked good but in the morning it felt like I was looking through a drunken haze on my screen. The screenshots did require a large amount of PS work to look reasonable and they should give a good impression of what to expect in the South East Tower of Baramous Keep.

New Location, The Chapel of Saint Corthright



New player weapon model, The Shadow Axe

... with 5 sets of animations, 5 different skins to show amulet status, new swipe/amulet sounds and various blade particle effects.

THAT AXE IS AWESOME! <3

"You have my sword."
"And my bow."
"And SOCK'S AXE!"

Looks very nice, very in keeping with Quake's slightly more elegant medieval feel.

Every game needs swinging blades of death. Marvellous.

I am glad people like the Axe, it took a long time to work out something that had the Quake vibe but also felt different from the original axe. Been experimenting with transitions lately and here is a quick large to small brick interlude on the way to the crypt ...
