date: 10th of March 2000. Quake3Arena DM/Tourney level. ==================================================== title: Square To Seven file: square7.pk3 author: Laurent 'SillyCone' Cortier email address: **email removed** description: Small DM map, good for 1on1's and 2on2 teamplay. DM up to 5-6 ppl (frantic...) ==================================================== play information skills 0,1,2,3: no tourney: 1on1 and 2on2 is cool deathmatch: Small DM (up to 5 ppl) CTF: no Bot File (aas): yes other: no new sounds: no new graphics: no new music: no how to play: Square To Seven is in the in-game map list in both DM and Tournament ==================================================== info My first map ever... Certainly not my last, I'm hooked to mapping now ;) This map was done coz I loved to play the Doom II map07, as well as the quake1 modified version dm7. As the layout was simple, it allowed me to learn the principles of mapping and Q3Radiant (amazing tool !) I hesitated a lot to add a railgun in it, so I did it but with some complexity : precise timing and rocket jumping required to open the railgun cage, enter it and leave before it closes on you... The railgun is a hard to own candy ;) I personnally think it's a skillz map ; weapon or armor control is really hard. Instead, it creates a very psychological game, coz the layout is so simple but yet provides loads of possibilities. Try to play it with a good friend of your skills-level... I hope you'll have as fun playing it as I did making it :) ==================================================== construction base: none concept: Doom II map07 idea: dm7 for quake1 editor: Q3Radiant 181 by Id Software known bugs: none known build time: about 2 months of 1 hour here 1 hour there compile time: 19 minutes in FullVis (-light extra) on a Celeron 300A @ 450 Mhz (128 Megs) ==================================================== Thanks go to ... - id Software for making the first FPS I played (Wolfenstein) as well as all the others I played next ;) and for providing so much support to the community... you guys are the bests :) - PowZeR, an amazing and dedicated mapper.
