Thank you for your attention.

The file to download was updated to correct some texts files.
Oh man, this is a surprise, gonna check it out soon!
This was a nice update! The biggest hitch for me was definitely the catacombs. They were very well detailed and unique but damn, finding breakable portions of walls and secrets took WAY too long to figure out. The destructible portions genuinely need more hints that they were breakable! I also had a hard time picking up some of the required objects to progress.
Well, to place hints or not were some procedures and options from the author.
So i think no chances to changes.
nice update..
Am I supposed to use this with RealRTCW? I can't get it load.
No, this released doesn't work with RealRTCW only pure RTCW.
I really didn't like it. Played the first and a bit of the second level. The scripts didn't feel right. Enemies unnaturaly spawning, runing around; game holding me in place for falling ceiling to kill me. The level design also wasn't particularly interesting. Would try it out again if some good changes were done.
