I figure I owe myself and the Q3A
community as a whole a deathmatch
environment that can push players
to excell. Right now I'm reading
quite a bit about CPMA and how to
optimize maps for it. This time,
I can't say that version 1.1 of
Burning Reminders will be my very
last. Being laid off certainly
can jog your creative mind to go
and create something. That's all
I can really say.
A lot of you have sent me e-mails
wanting to know how to access the
BFG secret room. Included is the
demo file showing the "how-to" of
getting there, granted there are
some variations. :)
---------------------------------
Here's the list of fixes for 1.1:
- Increased light values in halls
- Adjustment of many bad brushes
- Re-botclipped the entire map
- Added more spawn points
- Re-hinted many areas
- changed clusterportals (lots of
bot optimization, many thanks
to Cardigan)
- Fixed some "floating" models
- Re-compiled with q3map2
Here is what's been added to 1.1:
- Demo showing off how to attain
the BFG secret room (requested
by too many people to count)
- An extra route with goodies!
- A couple of extras thrown in
for good measure ;)

Description:
This map is something I started
over a year ago, but just until
a few months ago, I picked it up
again. I'm glad I did too, this
is the first large-sized level
I've made; and for a first hack
at really trying to balance out
gameplay over a large area, I'm
entitled to at least think I did
pretty well. There's no hidden
meaning in the title of this map
or within it's design, so I hope
no one thinks it's my way of
remembering the dead in some
sick twisted fashion. It's been
influenced a bit by pictures of
Ireland, mixed with volcanos and
Alice in Chains albums. It just
seemed like a cool name at the
time and it stuck. Hope you all
enjoy it.
Please send me lots of comments!
