Description : My first Quake III map attempts to stay away
from the style of the standard maps and has
more of a Quake / Quake II feel to it. Iikka
"Fingers" Keränen's excellent IKBASE textures
are used in abundance (thus the pun in the map
title :-) and really look great with the new
engine in my opinion.
The layout is a fairly standard afair with
three closely connected, multiple level, open
air atria. There are plenty of weapons to go
around and the map plays well with up to five
bots.
Hope you have as much fun playing the map as I
have had making it. Thanks for reading.
Credits : Most importantly thanks to Iikka "Fingers"
Keränen for creating the IKBASEQ3 texture set
which is used in this map. Check out his site

Also thanks to Maj, Than, Paul and SpiderGEC
for testing the map and offering suggestions.
Much appreciated :-)

* Construction *
Base : New map from scratch
Build Time : About 4 weeks
Brush Count : 2093 (of which 360 are entities)
Compile Machine : Celeron 300A @ 450MHz with 128 Mb RAM
Compile Time : 18 minutes

Known Bugs : There are a few nasty VIS errors (near the
Lightning Gun and the two large healths on the
ground floor) which are due to bugs in the
compiler. There was nothing I could do, maybe
subsequent releases of the tools will allow me
to fix them.
* How to Use *
Simply extract the mkfingers.pk3 file and this text file into
your Quake III "baseq3" directory. So for me this would be
"C:\quake3\baseq3". Once installed the map will appear in the
Single Player Skirmish menu.
