============================================================================================= Title: Last Minutes Of Pompeii Filenames: aveq3dm1.pk3, aveq3dm1.txt File size: Author: Xavier "aVe" Lardy Mail: **email removed** Description: While the Vesuvio was erupting and the crowd running for their lives, deathmatchers invested the place for a ultimate game. I choose Pompeii as a guideline for this map, that is the "first publishable" after 3 others attempts. It's halfway between learning project and "fun map", that I also geared toward competition after lengthy playtest. I bumped into the gameplay vs. architecture problem. Everybody has a first map :) Other maps: - a coupla old doom2 maps (Made with DoomEd & WinDEU) - directing the Doom3 machinima serie "Everlasting Dreams" Other level design work: - Jack The Ripper (DreamCatcher/Microids) ============================================================================================= Additional Credits: - Artists who took part of Mapcenter map contest #4 (Mediterranean) & #5 (Stones & Rocks). - !tequila for the dimming shader Thanks to: - you :) - dONKEY & Twisted for countless help on troubleshooting and misc. technical explanation - live beta testers : (vincoof, scaramanga, Bionic Gerbil) - Hex for putting LMOP on mhgaming.com beta servers - beta testers @ map_center : (kudos to starjmunnen & Anwulf) - alpha testers @ Q3W - [mr.] clan for support (bjorn, No, I owe you big) ============================================================================================= Map Instructions: Unzip aveq3dm1.pk3 into your Quake III Arena/baseq3/ directory. Launch game and go into the skirmish option and scan for levelshot. Better suited for TDM. ============================================================================================= Misc: Test Machine : PIII 933 / 512 RAM / Geforce2MX In game Support - YES BOT support - YES Deathmatch - YES New Textures - YES / MapCenter4 & MapCenter5 New Models - YES (Volcano & Altar) New Sounds - NO ============================================================================================= Construction: Base: New level from scratch.
