how to play place tpalace.pk3 in your /baseq3/ folder
start quake3arena
hit ~
type /map tpalace
type /addbot <botname> <skill>
hit ~ (to clear the console)

sure you have the SV_PURE variable set to 0. I also included an arena

====================================================
info
My first offically released Q3A map.
I recommend that you choose bots which will use the
BFG like Slash or Xaero. I have included them on the
initial recommended bot list.
I spent a very long time getting the game flow and FPS right.
I hate laggy maps and believe more time should be spent on
getting the FPS at acceptable levels than producing eye candy
which does not play right at good high resolution settings
on MOST machines.
I used the following guidlines for construction of this map:
Tris value limit : 5500, Spikes : 6500
Only FPS problems noted was that the lower water section dropped
to 40fps using a V5500 with max detail and 2xFSAA.
On a GeForce DDR running at medium detail it was smooth as silk.
This map has been tested with TNT, TNT2, GeForce DDR, V5500 Graphic cards.
It has been tested on LAN's and various standalone machines.
If this level is hosted any Internet server, please, please let me know
because I would love to see how it works online.
If anybody does any reviews of this level please drop me a mail
to let me know. Good or bad still interested.
