(1.32) ======================================================================================================================== Title: The Courtyard (V2) File: q3map_thecourtyard.pk3 Author: Martinus Email address: **email removed** URL: - Description: This map is playing in a city, in a manor house and it's outside area / courtyard. ======================================================================================================================== Play information Tourney: yes (1v1 will be boring...)

How to play: place q3map_thecourtyard.pk3 in your /baseq3/ folder start quake3 hit ~ type \map thecourtyard type \addbot <botname> <skill> hit ~ (to clear the console) OR select thecourtyard from the skrimish menu ======================================================================================================================== Construction base: from scratch. editor: GTKRadiant 1.6.3 (sometimes causes crashes, when I try to build up the terrain triangles... I was often being angry :) .) other progs: Adobe photoshop , Blender , Milkshape3D , Notepad , Audacity , Irfanview , QToolkit, Q3Ase , etc... know bugs or "anomalies": I don't know bugs, which can break the gameplay... (the map has full vis, and fine light's, stupid bot's play well, etc...) Yes... I know, the terrain is not the best... The shadows makes on it black lines... And not match for the skybox... (old style terrain, builded up whit triangle brushes like Team Arena terrain maps whit terrain blending technique...) I'm used lazy clipping on the terrain. When I'm making this map, I met a lot off error types and I met very often the engine limit's...(vis or leaf problem's) I ran out of my patience, but I did not give it up :). FINALLY the map was finished :). build time: about 1-2 months on and off... compile time / machine: Whit full stages (BSP, vis, light) it takes 3/4 of the day... Compile machine and testing machine was a shitty , bad and ugly HP435 laptop... ======================================================================================================================== Thanks to ... my family, lvlworld who will publishing my map (I hope so), Radiant developer team for the editor, Id Soft... , Google, etc.. The Jaeger's and it's pilot's who save us from the Kaiju's every day. Batman, because he is a hero (Superman and Ironman too.) Q3map2 who would comile my map without crashing (Radiant too)... and everyone who play and like my map :) ... ======================================================================================================================== Distribution / Copyright / Permissions / Bla bla bla...
