Beta Testers : stor!acl, the bots and myself Mr. Lake, Tetzlaff, Shagz @ ..::LvL -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * LEVEL DESCRIPTION * -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fortress-themed Quake3 map in nightly setting, suitable for both tourney and deathmatch ( though it plays best in FFA ). Design Backgrounder The first concept was a very small, very compact, fast-paced duel map, about half the size of this. ( The included "nsn_lame" map is close to the original if you cut it in half paralel to the X axis... ) Then I started adding rooms, expanding existing ones and soon it grew this big. Don't let the symmetric layout fool you, learning to navigate the map may take some time... Lighting is designed with r_overbrightbits=1 and r_gamma=1.3 in mind. Vertex lighting looks butt-ugly but that shouldn't be much of a surprise. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * PLAY INFORMATION * -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Game Style : Tourney / FFA Number Of Players : 2 / 4-6 ( everything above six is overkill ) Default Bots : visor razor stripe keel Item List : RA YA / MH / RL GL RG 2xLG 3xSG Spawn Tweaks : RG --> 30 sec ( five slugs in weapon & ammo pack ) YA --> 30 sec RA --> 60 sec MH --> 120 sec -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * CONSTRUCTION * -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Base : sketch Texture Scheme : evil7 by evil lair ( **invalid URL** ) Colour Scheme : blue New Models : dmask and wallportal by Evil Lair New Shaders : yes ( mostly evil7, modified by me ) New Sounds : yes, ripped from RtCW but with increased volume Construction Time : started in April 2002, approx. 300 work hours Average R_Speeds : ~6k / ~9k ( indoor / outdoor ) Worst R_Speeds : ~13k ( looking from GL across the open area ) Geometry Brushes : ~3000 Total Entities : ~700 Point Lights : ~260 Editors Used : GtkRadiant 1.2.10-update Other Programs : GtkBuild 2.0 / ACDSee 3.0 / Paint Shop Pro 7 Known Issues : r_speeds are a little excessive for low-end systems -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * COMPILATION * -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q3MAP BSP Time : 30 seconds Q3MAP VIS Time : 285 seconds Q3MAP RAD Time : 676 seconds Extra Lighting : no BSPC Time : 136 seconds AAS Optimized : yes Compile Time : ~20 minutes Compile Machine : Celeron2 900MHz, 256 MB, GeForce4 TI4200, Win XP Pro -------------------------------------------------------------------------- * COPYRIGHT / PERMISSIONS * -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You MAY use the included custom textures & shaders, or modifications thereof, provided you give note of such in an attached readme.
