Abyss of Pandemonium: new, improved and reforged!

[Blood Vengeance]

Hello bmw850,

did you even download the file that Blood Vengeance uploaded ?
It is the wrong file. It is not the successor file to "AOP - The Final Mission v2.0_extended_20140623" that you asked for.
It only adds "Previous weapon" (impulse 12) support. And has nothing to do with SMC.

The current/latest Abyss of Pandemonium mod from march 2016 is very different to that one. Go back 1 page to find all details/features and a youtube wip clip as well as some screenshots about it.
Here is the post with the link to the mod that you requested: click
And here is the post with the WIP youtube clip: click

It covers all points/features from Blood Vengenace�s wish list and some more. Ironically he never posted it on the opening post of this thread.
But who cares…

You say you played through original Quake and mission packs with the SMC ?
Interesting, because I never saw any post of you in the SMC thread.
Yes, the click & download generation... No need to post anything. Only when a file is down.
How nice.

Lol totally forgot to put the link! What an ass I am anyway it's included in the complete pack. I've linked the wrong file, here's the REAL link with the compilation you've made https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5tac9jp6j...60330.pk3?dl=0 and I've updated first post of the page to include the link as well for those who want to have it separately

Hi Seven and BloodVengeance

I've finally had a chance to get back on the computer and visit the
forums, I did download and try the first provided link but ofcourse the
file was not the most current SMC based version, as Seven has noted.

I will try the latest provided SMC release ASAP. BloodVengeance,
thankyou again for your efforts in keeping the site, forums and game
updated and uprated. They are definitely appreciated!

And Seven, all I can do is thank you also, as I am a very limited
programmer, all I can do at this minute is provide feedback and enjoy the
programming talent and nous of the real pro's. I would say alot of us care
for SMC for the quality work and enormous fun that it is, in fact, we
could not go back to original quake afterwards!

You have breathed alot of new life and features into a 20 year old
classic, that is enjoyed even further than the original, whilst still
feeling like the source material, like something from the original
programmers, I.D themselves. SMC's customisation through the .cfg files is
also a excellent utility for gamers who like to tinker with gameplay
mechanics and want to uprate the difficulty, but don't yet understand
QuakeC or decompiling/compiling progs.dat without errors!

Best regards!
Sam

All files moved to a single archive that can be download on modd.com (link and info on page 1 of this thread)

It's me again, the Mark V fanboy.

I was wondering if you guys were able to provide a small patch file for non-DP players which only address the following from Seven's compilation:

- Legond�s lightning attack spawns too low
- Footstep sounds when walking with low speed
- Nail position correction for nailguns
- "Previous weapon" (impulse 12) support

Would be absolutely awesome!

There is some great work here.

All the floor/wall/ceiling textures are replaced and this looks great. You've got pretty water and effects.

However, the new weapons have low resolution textures that really stick out compared to the HD textures for stock weapons.

Has anyone else made weapons textures for the 3 AoP weapons, or would they be willing to make some?

Likewise, Pringlesman made fantastic Blud and Grenling textures. But I'd love to see nicer or alternate textures for a few of the other AoP monsters as well.

i have the aop source,but the qv file names are strange.

I tried to use diff to compare the AOP source to vanilla Quake 1.06 source to see what was changed. However, there are style differences with line breaks, tabs, brackets, etc. that mean pretty much every line of code looks different and I can't produce a reasonable patch/diff.

I was going to try and create an updated effects add-on, or maybe even a SMC port for AOP but at a glance it looks like it would be a major pain.

Omfg.......metamorphosis on moddb.com used (without asking permission) contents from AoP reforged for his AoP Epsilon.....what a mess! First map don't have rtlights (he said he "improved" my rtlights), I hope he fixes that bug soon...
