Some words : This map is the face lifted version of a so called "hybrid map"
which was available for Q3Test 1.05/1.08. The map was originally
done using a normal Quake2 editor. When Q3Radiant became available,
I used this map to learn the editor. I replaced all the "faked curves"
with real curve patches. I added new detail here and there and changed
architecture in some areas. Actually, I didn't plan to release this
map, because it has a framerate problem in one place. However, I got
alot of requests from people who just liked the gameplay back in the
old Q3Test days, so I decided to release it. Please, if you review this
map, keep in mind that the base was done using a Q2 editor!
If you have an older Video card (TNT1 for example), you will need to
lower the texture quality to have smooth gameplay. Newer cards
(TNT2 for example) should run fine. I didn't test this map on any
Voodoo card , but I believe it wouldn't run very good (By Voodoo cards
I mean cards which were available when I released this map, not the
upcoming V4 & V5 cards!) Let me know about the performance on Voodoo
cards if you own one.
Feedback is welcome!
Installation : Extract the contents of this zip archieve to x:\your_quake3_path\baseq3\
Start Quake 3 Arena and select the map from the multiplayer menu.
Have fun!
I used some textures from the ThreeWave CTF addon. If you don't have it,
you can get it here:

It's a huge download (about 7.5 MB), but it's worth it! Trust me.
