--------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************** Map Name: "A Cold Lonely Place" DM level for Quake 2 by Shon Shaffer "Maric" Files: marics12.zip /marics12.bsp /marics12.txt/Custom texture folder/env folder Contact: s-shaffer@home.com Version:1-05-00 *************************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- Additional Credit* * I have to give the bulk of the credit to the makers of TREAD, its an absolutely great program due to its accessibility and ease of use. * ID Software, of course, for Quake 2. * RUST- for the plethora of info provided : http://www.gamedesign.net * Thnx to Havok who lets me test every map on him =) oh yeah and my nephew "Duke" * Huge thanx go to these guys whos map "JumpBeach" and freely shared info about how to make the jump pads work and made their use for me possible : Monsto Brukes, MrHyde, Scampie : http://tarot.telefragged.com/ryo i can't thank them enough. * The custom textures are not mine so whoever put them in a map file and however they got into my machine is beyond my ability to discern, suffice it to say, they are pretty cool and credit goes to the unknown whoevers'. I've had as many as 1400 bsp maps on my hard drive at once so you can imagine the difficulty in nailing down just who did what out there in the Quake universe. I just don't want the credit due to others =) * The awsome env is called "iceworld4" and was made by Darc whos web site is at http://www.telefragged.com/soup/index2.html and can be reached at adarcjedi@ameritech.net go thank him for the beautiful work he has done and made available. *GAMEPLAY INFO* Single Player : nah Deathmatch : well, thats what i made it for Cooperative : nope, unless you gang up on some lpb in dm. Difficulty Settings: nope Base System: Celeron 333-not oc'd /128 RAM /Voodoo2 Blackmajic *BUILD INFO* Build Time: 40 hours Utilities Used: *Tread *more Tread *and even more Tread, it has it all. Build Machine(s): same as above Final Compile Machine: " " " QBSP3 : 15 secs QVIS3 : 1.2 hours QRAD3 : 2.1 hours Known Bugs: Most likely *INSTALLATION* if you got this zip file intact just aim this puppy at your baseq2 folder and let go. *NOTES* Ok heres the argument for the map - I again used jump pads for a means of connecting different levels of the map, they are a blast to play with. (if anyone knows how to change the whoosh sound please let me know) The textures are not of my making, they came with other maps that auto download on various servers, others get the credit for their excellence. I would include any and all text files but they don't get transfered, so if you made em' and read this let me know i wanna give you the credit. I was trying for a smaller map but alas it grew rather large,it seems reasonably playable with two people, 4-6 would be a much better load out though. The bad news is that the speeds do get high here and there but are not general to the whole map, there are "hot spots" mostly on the higher elevations. The quad is there, don't like it but if you ever play WoD it is the jetpack anyway, i also threw in the bfg for the times i play "Chaos mod" THIS MAP WAS MADE WITH THE RAIL-GUN IN MIND, OK OH YEAH please let me know what you think good or bad, i'm not overly sensitive either just go easy with the harsh language, remember we live in a "society". The two servers running this and my other maps are as follows : The Necromancers Lair @ 24.3.60.209 Backshooters Rail Lair @ 24.6.131.209 A few are at one of my clans WoD server at 24.113.104.178 You will need to install the WoD mod to benefit the most in there. Say "hey" to all the LOF members but take it easy on them they are all Old Farts.
