Map's description : IMPORTANT: This map will not run on vanilla Quake 3.
It exceeds the original engine’s memory and BSP limits and will
crash. Fully compatible with ioQuake3 and Quake3e only.
This is a complete overhaul of my first map, Spacial (2005).
The original version wasn’t great, and I wanted to rebuild it to
match my current standards. After many hours of work — frustration
and satisfaction both — this remake is finally done. I wasn’t even
sure I’d release it at first since I couldn’t get every detail
exactly how I wanted, but the result is a massive improvement over
the original. In my opinion it’s a beautiful upgrade, and I hope
players enjoy it as much as I enjoyed bringing it back to life.
Major Changes:
New_sky_and_lighting — High‑quality sky, improved lighting across the entire map.
Full_retexture_pass — Entire map retextured for a modern look.
Geometry_cleanup — Large amounts of bad brushwork deleted or fixed.
Trim_and_detail_updates — Added new trim; replaced curved trim with cleaner
straight trim.
Skybox_expanded — Increased skybox size on both ends.
Gameplay & Item Updates:
Weapon_balance_pass — Removed BFG + ammo; removed Quad and replaced with
Regeneration.
Improved_item_placement — Adjusted weapon and item layout for better balance.
Base_weapon_fixes — Plasma on red base replaced with shotgun.
Railgun_changes — Removed old railgun bases; added simple floating railguns.
4v4_layout_tuning — Map tuned and optimized for 4v4 CTF.
Teleporter_and_launchpad_updates — Improved teleporters, added floating lights,
and added launch pads to intercept mid‑teleporter routes for more chaos and flow.
Known Issues:
Bot_clip_on_rail_bounce — A botclip was added over the railgun bounce pad to
prevent gameplay issues; bots may hover if pushed onto it.
Bots_ignore_teleporters — Bots do not use teleporters but navigate the rest of
the map normally.
This map supports CTF game mode only.

The custom textures I used for this map are from the e8 set by the
one and only Yves Allaire aka "evil lair" which I upscaled x2 to
bring the quality up slightly from original.
The custom sky I used is from the Ultimate Skybox Pack (3700+ Skies
with Shaders) posted by quBit
on Quake3World. link here if interested as its an awesome mapping
resource.
