DM - House of Chthon Expanded

[skies912]

House of Chthon remade from scratch for modern sourceports! New entryway and corridors+extra rooms. Not sure how useful the new lightning trap is going to be in DM but I think it's pretty cool - activated through 4 buttons to "charge" it. As an added bonus, Chthon spawns in SP when you grab the RL.
Any feedback is welcome

Looks great!! It's been added to the CRx server at denver.crxquake.com:26000. Hopefully we'll play it sometime soon and let you know any feedback. I've also made a .rtlights file for it as well. Not sure if you know but there seems to be a missing texture as well up top(not a big deal as you can't see it anyway in normal conditions). Darkplaces also throws this error at map load: maps/dm-chthon.bsp: Texture "__TB_empty" is corrupt or incomplete.

Thanks for looking at it! Looking forward to the review.
The gray grid texture in the screenshot is my equivalent of Caulk. I adopted the "only texture [properly] the faces visible to player" method. Seems to make my brain happy. Since Q1 doesn't have caulk, I just used that - it's part of the prototype wad. As for the "__TB_empty" thing, it appears I completely forgot to fix that. Oops. In trenchbroom editor, any untextured face has that - must have untextured a brush by accident.

Thanks woods, will take a look. Not sure it's been fixed in qss-m but my old version 1.5.2, the texture is missing as well.

I didn't realize this was the proper way to do it, thanks! I posted this thread in the description of the resource post.

Ended up linking it all up to be proper. Map looks great by the way, reminds me of a specific Q3DM remake that was awesome also.
