Description : After a long period of mappers block I decided
to take the easy option and convert one of my
Quake II maps to Quake III. This map is a
personal favourite and I'm glad to say that I
think it plays as well in Quake III as it did
in Quake II.
It is pretty much a direct conversion but with
optimised brushwork and better detailing and
lighting. Item placement is also pretty much
identical to the original but tweaked to suit
the new item set.
Hope you enjoy the map, feel free to drop me
a line if you have any comments about it.
Thanks for reading.
Credits : The greatest thanks go out to Lunaran who
provided me with a set of excellently
converted Quake II waste textures. He also put
up with my requests for additional textures to
complete the map. I can't thank him enough,
check out his site (and fantastic maps) at:
lunaran.fragland.net
Thanks also to Iikka "Fingers" Keränen whose
custom IKBASE sky texture and shader I used.
Check out his site (also with cool maps and
textures) at:

Finally thanks to Lunaran, Than and Alcatraz
and his team for testing the map and offering
suggestions. Much appreciated :-)
