This is the new Discussion Topic for CQTLQ.
Anyways I'm almost done with E1M4. ;D
Screenshots!

I was about to finally download this, but if E1M4 can be finished by like tonight, I'll wait.
EDIT: lol, I put E4M1. :p
Nah, Beta 18 will come out next weekend so you might as well download the current beta.

Wow, how much more do you need to do for it? It says on Status that E1M4 is 90% done.

I have some stuff to fix in the DECOARTE and some bugs I found in the other levels.
after my incredibly long yet random abscence i have decided to play cq mods again
do you have chex.wad? my computer had a hard-drive crash.
wait nvm xbolt is awesome and i hate vista
beautiful archtitecture, terrible gimmick in E1M2. i hate those conveyer belt platforms.

Thanks I'm glad you like it. ^^
Anyways about those conveyor belts, I was thinking of putting a secret passage making able to skip the conveyor belts completely, but for some reason I didn't. Would that help you Zorchdude or anyone else that has trouble at that part if I did something like that?
A secret passageway would probably be cooler than using the "fly" cheat. And secrets are awesome! :)

Yeah, Vista can be a pain sometimes, but I have it, and haven't found anything too wrong.
Don't make it secret. Outright replace that part! =(
I'm serious!!
Theres occasional [very] annoying glitches, but nothing that makes me want to tear my hair off or anything like that.

Mind telling me more about them, I can't help if I don't know whats the problem.
I've finished adding the secret passage in E1M2 and I've got some work done on E1M5.

I realized it been awhile since I have posted any progress so here is some new screens. As you can see I have made good use of my new texture set. :whale
I found out what was causing CQTLQ to crash when trying too load a saved game, when beta 19 comes out you will be able to save again! :whale
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
E1M5 is almost done! ^^

I check out every post in the Fan Projects section. ;)
Sorry for the inactivity, I was working on my Doom project FFCPII, I got a new beta out for it so now I can get back to work on CQTLQ. It's going to take some time to plan out what I have in mind for E1M7. <_<

Screenshot of E1M6 cause of lack of progress from January up until yesterday.
Yeah, that's pretty awesome level design, once again.

Thanks, but the room is not near done yet.
AWESOME
Get that beta out soon!
I seriously need to try and get Dynamic Lighting working...that subtle shading makes what was otherwise a simple map (an unfinished room, even!) seem amazingly detailed.
yeah...
How on earth do you do that?
To get Dynamic Lighting you need object number 9800 and edit the action arguments, also I'm petty sure this is only for GZDoom.
Speaking of Dynamic Lighting...

I use GZDoom.
You seriously need to point me to really good tutorial on how to do that so that I can do it.
Speaking of dynamic lighting, I've got some in one of the levels of my mod (if I ever get around to working on it), and I have a ton in the Stryper Room I made for the lounge (it's on one of the more recent pages). It looks pretty Robert Sweet.
soo...
can anyone point me to a tutorial?
plz?
;D

I wish I could, but I can't find any. The way I leaned using them was just tinkering with them on my own.
I only got it to work once, and it actually went pretty well...but I've yet to get it working since. (though I haven't tried much, since...)

Epic. That is all.
Ok..
Can you explain it in supereasy terms? For Doom Builder 2 preferably?
I thought we had a GZDoom tut. If youre looking for specifics, try YouTube or just Google it.
GZDoom dynamic lighting or something like that.
Anyway... :whale
Just returning the favor.
Those are some pretty awesome screenshots. I've really missed this project, you know. =:-D
whoah thats cool!
I think I'm almost ready for the next release, E1M6 is kinda short especially in comparison too the level before it.
just release it! o_0

ah that's not so bad, I've seen worse. He's got a plasmagun and there aren't any cyberdemons, after all.
No, that map is nothing compared to The Slimeinator's secret level in TNCQ G2. WAAAAY worse.
I don't think I've played that level, but yeah, Slime's stuff is way more insane...
That actually looks fun... like in some level in some other mod I can't remember the name of that has twenty maximuses or so, and I had fun just circle-strafing around them while continually firing. XD

That's what I do when I'm playing invasion by myself... it works every time. Doom isn't known for great monster AI. Wolfenstein 3d on the other hand...
So...
When's the next beta?

Yeah... I'm kinda busy at the moment, I have collage, my book, and my Doom wad taking up most of my creative free time. Once I get a new beta out for my Doom wad I'll try to get some work on CQTLQ again.
[spoiler](http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/3108/tip.png)[/spoiler]
Guess what I'm working on?
Good to see you're working on this again, it's one of my favorite mods :)
I know I've said this multiple times before, but for some reason I totally love this mod. Were it not for my OpenGL problems, I would play it more.
Hmm... I think I've said it before, but this mod is very well done. You have some really nice architecture in E1M1 and E1M2, and you did really well with the outdoors areas, they're clean, pretty, and vaguely oriental... maybe that's just the music.
A couple music tracks really get on my nerves, but some of them
possible spoiler:
[spoiler]like the song that plays after you defeat the E1 boss,[/spoiler]
D_E1M1, D_E1M2, or D_E1M5 fit really well, and sound great in game. Although, I wonder if D_E1M5 and D_E1M2 can be even better.
There's a couple texture problems I've noticed, for example, the cabinets' sides don't look like cabinets (I can give you a good set of cabinet textures if you're interested). I noticed a couple other texture bugs, but I'd have to give you a list.
Also, the large Siamese twin zorcher thing's pickup sprite is pretty messy, I can clean that up for you if you like.
If you want a full, detailed review, I'd be happy to do it, let me know. I'll point out texture problems, bugs, and whatever else I see that I like or don't like.
Don't worry, I'm not going to give you non-free music this time, the only music I use now is either Chex original music, freeware music, remixes of chex music, or my own music.
I hope you keep going on this, and I really should finish my Brano deathmatch map, too.

Sure thing, I'll start on it this weekend.
I am very picky! Expect a long review ;)
I'm extremely picky as well, but I think I'm better at finding the glitches on the maps that I originally made and were then modified by someone else. ;)
you made some of these maps in Chex Quest : The Lost Quest? I didn't know that.
No I think he's talking about another project. To my knowledge only Arch has worked on this.
Hmm... well, if it involves me, take to PMs or post it in my subforum, this topic isn't the place for that
EDIT - Note: I post a picture, then talk about it, so the text talks about the picture above it
E1M1:
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_161242.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_161242.png)
Hmm... this isn't really a bug, but this passageway behind the cabin in E1M1 where you find the red key might look cooler with sloped ceilings
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_161353.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_161353.png)
here's the sides of the cabinets I was talking about. I'll upload my cabinet textures and post them here in a bit.
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_161537.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_161537.png)
this crate's side doesn't match the rest of it
E1M2- part of E1M3:
I like your big box room, and that secret you put in there
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_162014.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_162014.png)
It's kind of strage to just have the line horizon in the distance, maybe add something out here?
There's a serious shortage of bullets and shells on this level in the second hardest difficulty. Before I found the Super large zorcher thing and the big ammo boxes there, I only had phasing ammo, without a phasing zorcher, meaning it was LAZ or spork. I had fun with it, though.
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_162045.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_162045.png)

I really like these areas ^-^
The jumpmaze at the end of E1M2 is hard for me but I managed after a couple tries.
Oh, something I wanted to mention about the conveyors, they might be pretty hard if you're not using always mouselook.
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_162412.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_162412.png)
The red/yellow color combination on that thing in front of the door is kind of weird. The building looks great from the outside
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_162551.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_162551.png)
I had an idea for this room, what if you made it so the entire wall moved? You could add some bumpy floor and ceilings with slope things, and use WARP2 on the whole thing
E1M4 - nice gameplay, looks pretty good
However, there isn't very much health in this map at all.
When you pick up the green key it says "Picked up a yellow skull key'
it also says "<playername> melted" when the player dies in the slime
I really like those mine areas, this is a great map, the only thing I don't like about it is the music.
The Loricatus - hmm... would you like to use my flem micro missiles? that would make more sense than propulsor shots
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_170558.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_170558.png)

It's really hard to see the stairs in this area, the first time I went through this map I wasn't sure which direction to go, I lost a lot of health
The jumpmaze in this level is crazy, I've only been able to do it once. Did you raise the gravity in this mod or something?
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_165726.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_165726.png)
graphical glitch - this slime is a little cut off in parts, other than that it looks neat
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_174855.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_174855.png)

what's the story behind this place? Just curious, why are there so many holes in the ceiling?
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_175643.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_175643.png)
This looks awesome, like it's right out of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.
Some of these 64 wide platform jumps (from one 64 square to another) are really tough, I try to back up to get a running start and end up backing right off the platform.
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_180533.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_180533.png)
this part was way beyond my jumpmaze skills, I ended up flying over it.
One thing I noticed - I kept hearing water drip sounds really loudly in here, which is weird. It's not really a cave, and there's water in the bottom, that would be kind of a splashing sound.
I had a hard time finding health in this one too... I had to use "Give Health" because I was going into E1M6 with 14 health
E1M6:
Same with the cybermaximus, if you want to use my flem micro missiles, they might make a little more sense.

this part was really, really cheap. Good thing you have a save right before it, the only way I got out was to spam the LAZ
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/th_Screenshot_Chex_20110311_181144.png) (http://s446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/?action=view¤t=Screenshot_Chex_20110311_181144.png)
I can skip that part of the level if I time my jump right :)
E1M7 - the version I downloaded didn't have anything in E1M7... huh, I must have grabbed the wrong one.
Overall, a long, hard, but great mod. It has lots of nice places to explore and move through, and it didn't feel repetitive or boring like some Doom mods feel after a while. The locations were varied enough to make me want to go through the whole thing. Nice job :)

I said
if it does, not that it does. It sounded similar to what him and I have been doing in the Skulltag Pack, so I just wanted to tell him that if it does involve me, I'd rather not talk about it here.
EDIT - No offense, but I think that falls under backseat moderation, CC. This is between me and LAZ, and why are you calling me out for it anyway? I didn't insult him.

you made some of these maps in Chex Quest : The Lost Quest? I didn't know that.
All the maps in CQTLQ are my own.
Anyways thanks for you're long bug post, I'll try to fix or improve most of your suggestions.
oh, here's the cabinet textures I was talking about
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/Longcab.png)
(http://i446.photobucket.com/albums/qq189/Jwaffe/blankcab.png)
for the jumpmaze- it's easier with the jump boots. or is that another level...?
I'm still slowly working, but I should mention that this update will have three new Flemoids.
Of course these new Flemoids will only have front sprites, no side or back ones until I have more time. I am having some trouble getting good looking 'death' frames. If any of you talented spriters are interested in helping with the zorched frames you can PM me.
Just a screenshot to make up for the long wait.

Very much a WIP, but at least your ship isn't a sprite anymore.
(http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/8875/screenshotchex201107130.png)
Oh hey, Arch, I was wondering if you could make a 64x64 texture with the IFOC logo to match your sewer ones. (If you already have one, then just point me in the right direction).
VERY nice job on the ship though. I tried doing that once, and it just turned out too blocky... XD

VERY nice job on the ship though. I tried doing that once, and it just turned out too blocky... XD
You want the IFOC logo...

...to be 64x64?

But what do you mean by my sewer ones?
Anyways thanks! I do think that my ship is too blocky ATM, I'm hoping with some new textures that I can make it look less stiff.
Towards the end of Episode 1 in CQTLQ you have a sewer area. I was wondering if you could take on of those textures (specifically CQGNMT13[put it in the middle]) and overlay the IFOC logo on it, and make it sewery looking.
Mainly, I was asking you because you made the textures in the first place and I figured you'd know how to make it look nice.

Exactly like that. Thanks alot arch! XD
I see you're still keeping up your great work, Arch. Just a suggestion: on the end episode message you said 'themselfs,' it should be 'themselves.'
/grammar n***
Anyway, great job, can't wait to see more! E1M7 was hard as heck, but a great ending. If only I coulda gone through that door in E1M1...

The new HUD is still a WIP.
I really like the ammo graphs! That's a great idea, it would be a good solution for the ammo section of my HUD too, since I have new ammo types.
