@sedawkgrep
It only affects the player who is sucked into the coffin and gets teleported out.

Just played this today and had NO idea it was based on q3dm16...though I definitely see it now having read about it. A really great map. I found the absolutely bonkers secret afterwards while doing levelshots - does it affect all players or just the one unfortunate enough to try it?

Nice map, with cool selection of weapons. LG is very well placed in the middle. The only problem is that it is fairly easy to dominate the whole map by being on the upper floor, which gives easy control of the two armors, LG and, most importantly, GL. You can easily spam the bottom floor with granades. Maybe a better balance would have been achieved by having the RA hidden in the bottom floor.

@bloodshot: Yes! I'm working already on E1M1 as a CTF map.

Outstanding. It's strange seeing a Quake Base level with a purple sky though :P

Seems like your remake would be a perfect fit for Generations 1.0, you really know how to make faithful stuff.

Move this discussion to the forum people.. That is the best place for non-map related discussions.

@FistMarine; get in touch using the contact form - lvlworld.com/contact - if you are having an issue getting your old account back.

One time ago there was utility to add your own screenshots, though it was stopped pretty early since it was pretty abused for posting spam pics. You can post your own screenies using a contact form, still, Tig will check it and decide whatever will be added or not. Though the same would be also video (gameplay preview), but I'm not sure. Tig, will you accept video suggestion to be added? Meaning I will post you my demo recording and you will check it out?

Nice, another map from sst13! Too bad I wish I didn't removed my account 1-2 years ago because I still visit this site regularly and people wouldn't know if I'm real FM or not. Not to mention that when I was registered, I could vote a map or post comment on forum, etc. Might re-register sometime in future since I have interest in new Quake 3 maps and have an idea to record gameplay demos on many maps to be posted on site if people want to watch demos before playing a map, though there is already a gameplay video on every map. Just an idea. :)

Here is a little story about what happened to me while I was checking out the secret...

After a huge 'HOLY CRAP WTF?!' I wanted to at least try continue playing. So I began to tilt my head from side to side. Since that didn't work well, I got up from my chair and began bending my whole torso, trying to reach the keyboard at the same time having an overhead look at my screen. Suddenly, from the corner of my eye, I noticed my fiancee leaning against the doorframe, with her arms crossed, observing me with one eyebrow lifted. I immediately freezed and went 'How long you've been standing there?' - 'Long enough to be concerned' she answered. 'Honey, are you OK?' - 'Yeah, I'm fine. It's all him. Cthulus 13th tentacle turned me upside down...' She looked at me for like half a minute without saying a word. Then with mild voice she went 'OK darling, go to bed, I gonna make you some fine tea...'

Awesome work dude, plain awesome!
I can hardly believe the amount of high class maps you produce...
Right now I'm ecstatic and envious at the same time. Jeez!

Hör bitte bloß nie auf zu mappen, Alter!

@sst13: Ooo I'm looking forward to that! I remember playing Q1 with my brother a long time ago and we would always complain about how slow the game would be since we had a crap system to run it on. Brings back the memories though and playing your remake of E1M1 would be tremendous indeed. Looking forward to that ;).

Man, I love your Q1 remixes of these levels. Have you considered doing a Q1-architecture level but for CTF?

I must say the prank is almost unbelieveable and it's really hard to play it then :D Hopefully teleporters will abort this strange look :)

For other who do not know what I'm talking about: Find the secret, go behind the tomb, a message will appear, and wait :P

I've seen your maps before and think you're a master at this. A while ago work in gtkradiant. I tried creating some maps in particular, but I'm too novice. My Maps are never equal. I would like to see if you can do me this great little favor. Create one of these maps, I have tried to create for a while now and I could not. Ironic or Spirit of UT2004. Any of the 2. Hopefully not disturb. Thank you.

Agreeing with Vym here, The map is quite small and there are limited amount of guns placed on the map. But apart from that it's a good TDM in which is suitable for 2 - 4 bots per team. Nice Work SST!

Quite good for small TDMs. However, there is quite limited set of guns here. It would be nice to have one Plasmagun somewhere around.

Thanks for the review!

To find the secret, follow these steps:

locate the hidden shootable button, rocketjump and shoot the button
double rocketjump or grenade-rocketjump into one of the holes above the Rocketlaunchers
step on the button above the door and shoot the hidden shootable button again
collect the yellow armor to open the door

There is also a lightning shooter to annoy people trying to get the lightninggun. If you see someone going to use the teleporter, simply shoot one of the shootable buttons on the ceiling.
