Tear of the False God rightly getting all the praise it deserves in this thread.
But don’t forget to check out Ak-Alakha by Pulsar - the other genuinely ‘new’ map in this update - it’s an absolute cracker, featuring lots of tricky jumping and cramped space (something Quake isn’t usually great at) - and combining them into an atmospheric, tight adventure with lots of juicy crossfire situations. Watch your footing!

Sorry for dumb question, but where are the portals to ad_akalakha and ad_scastle in the starting room? Do you enter them from some other maps, or am I missing something here? The same goes for ad_s1m1.
One more thing, playing chaos mode on ID1 maps. I believe there’s a bug: if you have (for example) E1 / E2 runes and then save the game, after loading E3 and completing it you will have the E3 rune, but you will lose E1 / E2 ones. To get all four runes, you would need to complete all ID1 episodes in one go. Bug, or an intended feature?
All in all, great mod.

Some of the maps in ad_chapters are sort of hidden. There’s a hidden-in-plain-sight “elevator” that takes you up to the rafters where there are some portals, but there are also easy-to-miss ladders that lead to a couple other portals.

Thanks, found them all.
Also regarding the losing runes issue, it happens only in chaos mode (regular mode works fine).

Lol- figured out what the problem is. AD no longer works with Darkplaces- I’d recommend using Quakespasm.
Now, this is truly amazing; Tears of a False God really blows everything out of the water.
I’m starting to think it might be a good idea to combine more AD maps and turn the initial (and secondary) hub maps from “level” hubs into an episode hub instead

Alright, something absurd happened today.
The books (tomes) that you collect in ad_swampy to obtain the rune won’t show up in the map anymore. It happens on any difficulty, both normal and chaos mode.
I haven’t changed my quake.rc, autoexec, engine - anything at all. The damn books just won’t show up any longer. This is definitely the weirdest bug I’ve ever encountered in Quake.

EDIT: I’m an idiot. You have to trigger the books to appear by visiting the rune room

Ak-Alakha (ad_akalakha) doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of love here, perhaps because Tears feels like a bigger deal, but I really enjoyed it. It’s a lovely example of how a relatively limited space — almost all of it visible from the outset — can be the venue for a lot of combat, most of it deely satisfying in that distinctively Arcane Dimensions way. Very nice Forgotten Sepulchre-like atmosphere, too. And the scrag-mother at the end was a fun and aproachable combat, rather than the sheer punishment that scrag-mothers can sometimes be. If this were a standalone release I’d already be giving it five stars.

In Ad Aspera Ex Inferi (ad_lavatomb) you can jump and then slowly slide through the bars blocking the exit.
Like everyone else, I love the beautiful new level Tears of the False God. But I am finding it infuriating that, having killed everything available, I am stuck on fifteen shards. Is there guide anywhere to tell me where the missing one is?
@MikeTaylor: You may have missed that some portals are two-way streets … in any case, the relevant func_msgboard thread may help (praying that the URL will be parsed correctly …):
