@Tig: Thank you very much X3

@borntofrag3: To get the BFG.

Go to the MegaHealth.

Look at the three lights on the building (not the flames, the lights).

Shoot the middle one.

Can someone tell me how to get to the chamber with bfg?

@MBT thanks for the tip:) will try that:)
Edit: Manage to do it, but with the BFG:) with a Rocket launcher it's impossible:)

@Szaman: Thank you for the kind comment and the vote. I'm glad you like this map. To reach the regen you have to do a well timed rocket jump on one of the jump pads at both ends of the side corridors. I guarantee it works. ;)
cheers

One of the best maps i have played:D Great Skybox, architecture, etc... smart secrets, not that hard to find, but you have to think it to find it;) One problem is that i can't find a way to the regeneration booster:( that is on the roof, i have search everywhere, tried rocket jumps and no luck:(

WOW!
You people are awesome. Thank you for 1k+ downloads!!
=D

@dONKEY: Yeah, I tried botclip first, but it seems I used patches "a little" too enthusiastic, resulting in weird windings which where almost impossible (for me) to clip properly. I soon got stuck in purple piles of botclip... @_@
But once done, BSPC still crashed due max_mapfile_planes.

Next thing I tried was the "convert-patches-to-ase-models"-trick, which made my map a complete slide show, so I deleted that file.
Unfortunately I never bethought making the patches nonsolid by shader. Meh, I'm still rookie^^

Thank goodness Tig mentioned the botmap procedure so now me has bots in my map =)

Glad you worked it out.
I've made 'bot only' maps to generate aas a few times now. In my case it was the overuse of models killing bspc.exe.
Quite often with patches, botclip solves the problem, or try making the texture/shader on the patch non-solid, then clipping.

@dONKEY: Hi!^^
Sock's way didn't work for me. I did it pretty much same way as a13n described it on qw.

I dunno either why Sock left out the hex edit. Kinda essential.

I had a hard time to figure why after the hex edit my aas -reach -optimize failed. I run win7 so my hex editor has to be run as admin >_<

Works fine now, but I need to tweak the botmap hell a lot more. Atm bots acting kinda goofy (which is really fun watching, on the other hand :D)

Thanks for lending a hand.

There is a step that isn't covered in that article.
I'm not really sure why to be honest. Unless Sock has a different set up to me (and the rest of us), you will find a bit of hexediting is required for the aas, because -fixass breaks it. When you get that far I can explain further.

@Tig: Sweet! Thank you very much for the tip. Seems to be very useful to me. Gonna fiddle around with that a lil...
:D
edit: @Tig: You made my day Sir! Thanks for advise =)

@MBT: You may want to check out the following link. www.simonoc.com/pa...mp/pom_bots.htm

It has a few tips for adding bot support to a map that does not want to support bots at all. The information may help.

@FragTastic: Ye, workin' on it =)
Only problem I have, is that BSPC says my curves suck donkeyballs... >:(
Pity it's almost 80% done. Guess it's time to start from scratch.
:/

@MBT: Your welcome ;D. Can't wait for more releases from you.

Hehe =)
thanks a lot!

I must say the lighting has actually had a huge impact on the map. Despite it all being the same, It's much clearer to play because last time I had sight problems but yeah nice work MBT! ;D

The download has been updated to the nicer lighting version.

@Tig: Yeah thanks. Done ;)

@MBT: Do you want to replace the current ..::LvL download with the update? If so, send me a submit request with a download link when you have a final compile and readme in a single zip file. Just mention that it is an update.

@MBT: Thanks for notifying us ;D

Hi there!^^

I finally managed to upload a "nicer-light"-compile ... only one year late >.<
sorry for the delay :/

New mbt_dm1.bsp and mbt_dm1.aas to replace the files inside the mbt_dm1.pk3/maps -folder for those who have downloaded the map already:
dl.dropbox.com/u/93229171/maps.zip

New mbt_dm1.pk3:
dl.dropbox.com/u/9...171/mbt_dm1.pk3

Cheers!

Edit: Now reading the review once again I must note, that playing against Uriel on Nightmare is less linear and shallow gameplay. The shortest way from the RL to the RAroom (which an "I-can-win-bot" will take) is a straight line w/o any cover a human player would probably avoid^^

¡gracias

@MBT: It's nice to see you making other maps which I am really looking forward to but make sure you dont use rich textures to much otherwise it will be a fail.

@FragTastic:
Yeah, good point.
I always use the stock textures as much as i can =) Love them^^
Bout gameplay... humm lets see if I am brilliant enough to create xD

@MBT: If your going to make a map with brilliant Gameplay, I suggest you shouldn't use rich textures a lot because the rich textures have so much detail plus with Bots In Gameplay It slows things down a lot. It's just like The 'Simpsons Map' That has 4 times the texels as any other map and Gameplay sucks on it.

I used every possible -fast option in the current version because I can never wait to see my stuff ingame. For me that's quiet good enough, but the audience deserves better^^ I'm relieved btw I got flamed less than expected ;)
I don't know yet the outcome, but this time I gonna go through this w/o a single -fast switch. The first bounce is done, and the second is at 10% atm. When it's done, I gonna upload it asap.
Meanwhile I'm breeding ideas and doing scribbles for a new project, trying to focus more on gameplay...

@themuffinatorrrrrr: Yes you are right, it's very good

If you're going to use radiosity it's much faster to use -fastbounce and it still gives very good results.

Edit: in fact -fast and -fastbounce = win. Personally I couldn't care to wait a week for my map to compile when the fast switches cut the compile time down considerably, with few noticable differences if any.

@MBT: Hey Man Np :)!

@FragTastic:
HI :)
THX for your view^^

@all:
Hi there!
I decided to bake a tasty final compile few days ago. So at the moment my toaster oven runs since 52hrs and shows:
--- Radiosity (bounce 1 of 8) ---
blah blah blah
--- IlluminateRawLightmap ---
0...1...2..._

I hope to be able to upload that thingy soon^^

The map shows a dark side of Quake III maps :). I love it.

@Takkie:
Hi!
Thank you for the great review. I really enjoy it :)

@all:
Hi there!
I officially apologize for the awkward lighting. I gonna post a tastier compiled one soon - promise^^
