This is one of those maps that make you look for the authors name to find more. I was not expecting this to be as good as it is... download this immediately.

@HelterSkeleton : Been using ioquake3 for years on Linux. There are a lot of great features that are hard to live without when I load up the official engine for testing a map, or making sure an experiment will function correctly with the default engine.

You can always have both engines (or more) and simply pick between them. Highly recommend spending a few minutes getting ioquake3 (or another engine) up and running.

i'd advise the sound to be converted to mono instead. Stereo sounds in the world are treated without any spatialization because it was for a hack to get music to work again with the streaming functionality gutted.

@Tig :
@HelterSkeleton : Which engine are you using? I get the error message once on the console, but that is all. Nothing annoying after that. You could try making a patch file...

thanks Tig, a null sound patch was exactly the solution I was going to use for now as the layout is great other than that. Will it work on ioQuake or steam Quake3? I've been holding off on ioQuake because I'm old and fear change now, but I have a copy on file and should bite the bullet and give it a whirl.

@leilei :
@HelterSkeleton : It's a stereo wave file which stock vanilla q3 can't load.

thanks leilei for pointing that out. i was thinking that might be the issue and points me in the direction of a fix.

You could try making a patch file with a null sound wave. That should resolve the issue.

Nobody has commented on it, but I keep getting an error message that q3 cant find spikerain.wav and loads default sound. I have tried loading it in a variety of mods and with clean install of baseq3 (so it can't be a conflict with another sound file in another pk3) but without a fix the issue makes the level unplayable in the long term for me. the layout if great though

Love this, played the heck out of it on duel with numerous people and it's one we keep callvoting for the next match. The amount of time that's gone into it has paid off and it's got one of the most coherent themes so far. Also Spike was completely fed up with working on it by the end, which is how you know it's had enough time put in :)

Unfortunately I ran out of time for the 25th pack, and have become so tired of working on this map that I threw my hat in when it came to bots. Appreciate the patch also, this is my first project including custom models and more fancy shaders so still learning. Thanks all! Big love xx

Fast and furious. Beautiful too. Love it! Minor problem: Bots do not to go for Quad, MH or RA.
