ABOUT:
This map is a recreation of the Deck series of maps from the Unreal series. The layout and basic idea is a mix of DM-Deck16][ from Unreal Tournament (the teleporter to Redeemer/BFG, most of the layout) with some ideas from DM-Deck17 from Unreal Tournament 2004 thrown in (the Bio Rifle room -here it has the Grenade Launcher-) and the jumppad at the big pool, as there are no Jump Boots.
There's also a Battle Suit in place of the Shield Belt, a Haste where the Jump Boots usually are, and ammo packs were switched so as to make players travel the map in order to stay armed.
===========================================================================
INSTALLATION:
Extract the file q325_deck.pk3 into the [quake3dir]\baseq3 folder.
Open the game and select the map q325_deck from either the Skirmish (for solo play) or Create Server (for multiplayer) menus.
===========================================================================
CHANGELOG:
- Alpha 1: Initial release.
- Alpha 2: Scaled the map by 0.5x; added 2x +25 HP in the Lightning Gun slime pit; relit the level; modified the middle bridge in order to avoid head hits; added some minor details here and there.
- Alpha 3: Added more details to the map, added zone location names for team games, added "Nodrop" to the slime pits.
- Alpha 4: Added even more details (the most important being a pair of railings transporting toxic barrels above the main area), changed location names, added cake easter egg, added appropriate BGM.
- Alpha 5: Clipped the east corridor's wall, lowered the bridge, restored the middle bridge to its intended shape, replaced ramp to Railgun w/jumppad, reduced size of one of the boxes near Shotgun, raised the ceiling in the northeast curve and switched it with a sky texture, changed area names and locations to accomodate the new changes.
- Alpha 6: Even more cosmetic changes, switched 2x50 at Northeast curve with 4x Armor Shard.
- Alpha 6b: Fixed slight mistake in the middle bridge of the main area; added 1x50 back in the Northeast curve.
- Alpha 7: Lighting first pass, switched more baseq3 textures for Evillair's, replaced Haste with 4x Armor Shard, fixed grates near the lower pool being far from the wall, fixed south killfield in main area that wasn't playerclipped.
- Beta 1: Added ambient sounds, added clusterportals, added more details, made the outdoors area with the LG more bright, bots now go for the Battle Suit, made the BGM loopable.
