-------------------------------------------- < o > -------------------------------------------- Why I released another version: Some ppl have complained that the map missed the location entities. I managed to send the .map files to never never land and was to lazy to find a way of getting those entities in there. Keltic from **invalid URL** mailed me and told me that a certain Assembler Maniac <**email removed**> hade made a version of the map with the locators. You'll find more info on him at **invalid URL** and **invalid URL**. Thanks Assembler Maniac for helping me and all the fraggers out there with this one. Happy Days Pax -------------------------------------------- < o > -------------------------------------------- Title : Can I Take It To The Bridge? (2:nd Ed.) PK3 Name : mapel4b.pk3 (original mapel4.pk3) Date : 00/09/30 (original 00/04/04) Author : Pax (revision by AssemblerManiac) Email Address : **email removed** Home Page : **invalid URL** (not operative) Installation : To install, simply unzip and place mapel4.pk3 in the baseq3 directory inside your Quake3: Arena installation. Kick up Q3A and start a ctf multiplayer server. The map should then show up with the other levelshots. Additional map info. : The idea behind the map was to make it large and yet dead easy to learn and play. I always loved McKinley Base (Quake Classic Threewave ctf) because of its fast gameplay. I found Q3CTF1 had much of the same thing. Hopefully this map will deliver some of the same stuff but with the posibility to cram a much larger number of players in there. As matter of fact you need an absolute minimum of 4+4 to give it justice but I think the map could hold as much as a 8+8. Wont-dos : * Actually the middle area should be scaled down a bit to negotiate with the Q3A engines problem with large outdoor areas. * The bases exterior should need some more work. The front looks a bit flat and you can't see any roof or something like that. I was thinking about building it into a mountain or something but a: I'm lazy, b: I think it would kill the FPS totally in the middle area. * Add some more eye candy.
