This tribute to Q3Tourney3 (one of my personal favourites) gets the job done. The main addition is that of a third level, adding some much needed vertical action to the original. The texturing is quite nice - with the noticeable exception of an over-used red trim that becomes overwhelming. Unfortunately, the lighting makes this map fall flat on the looks category; while some areas are fine, the main floor is monotonous. Bots navigate nicely and give you a run for your money. Some nice changes include the swapping in of the Battlesuit to a Regeneration, a better-suited powerup, and the reduction of hellfog.

If you liked the original it's definitely worth a go, just don't let the lighting get to you.

Patch - A small pak file can be downloaded right here that fixes the missing textures problem. (8.Dec.01)

Kit, quote from my previous post: "Figuring out all the bloody files I'd have to copy isn't worth it imho". I know what you mean, but that would drag all my baseq3 files and mods along. Anyways, on the subject of the map, I stand by my review, but am sorry for missing those errors. The clip brush one sounds nasty :-

Glad to see you in action again, old friend! Really like the map - it´s a cool tribute. And it´s quite dangerous in some places... Just how it should be!

Octovus: u don't need to install from CD, only copy and paste your quake3 folder.

Excelsiore: when i RocketJump over the jumpads i reach the top of the lateral NOCLIP brushes and i can move around like a bird:), your Clip brushes don't "touchin" the sky, i guess:)

As a mapper that definitely makes sense...and I would do it myself for testing, except I can't reaaaly afford the HD space (I know it's only half a gig or so but it still adds up), and my Q3 CD is broken. Figuring out all the bloody files I'd have to copy isn't worth it imho :- (Clarification, the CD isn't in two pieces or anything, but it's gotten scratched up from so much luvvin - and don't you dare take that the wrong way - that it can't install a certain file).

Well, it plays better than Tounrney3...but that's not really saying much now is it? (No offense to you Excelsiore) If you are a fan of tourney3, you should have this puppy on your HD.

mapmedia.pk3 is NOT part of the original or patched release of Q3A. Basically before releasing any pk3 to the public its a good idea to rename your scripts, levelshots and texture folders (an _ at the start is all that is needed) and move ALL pk3's except the pakX.pk3 and your own. This way you will find all problems :]

Hmm I didn't get missing textures, I don't think. But perhaps I had another map that had them attached or something. Sorry guys!
