*** spirit3ctfduel1 - where fears collide *** for quake III arena / cpma by spirit GENEREAL MAP DATA ================== MAP NAME : spirit3ctfduel1 VERSION : final LONGNAME : where fears collide PK3.NAME : spirit3ctfduel1.pk3 GAME TYPES : ctf MODS : recommended: CPMA - http://www.promode.org/ MAP THEME : modern BASE : new map from scratch BUILD TIME : a few days COMPILE TIME : few minutes @ Pentium M-1500 STUFF USED : * qeradiant 1.5 * q3map2 * pakscape * mirix v2 RELEASE DATE : 18-jul-2007 COMPILATION : * map: q3map2 -meta -vis -light -fast -filter -super 2 -bounce 2 * bots: bspc -optimize -forcesidesvisible -bsp2aas spirit3ctfduel1.map FILE SIZE : ~ 2 MB NOTES : This map was made to have a map that plays well with fewer player then most CTF maps are designed for (usually 4vs4/5vs5). The map was initially designed for the idea of a 1vs1 CFT mappack over at q3w. It has evolved a bit and can handle more than 2 players though. I prefer 2vs2, but you have some real intense action at 3vs3. CPM is recommended.

Here is a short description of the files: * spirit3ctfduel1-work.map : half of the map (the blue part), I only edit this in Radiant * spirit3ctfduel1.map : the complete map (red and blue half), this file is generated by Mirix from the blue half by rotating the brushes and everything. textures, spawns, location messages etc are automatically replaced/adjusted. This file is compiled to the bsp file, spirit3ctfduel1.bsp * spirit3ctfduel1-center.map: the parts of the map in the very center of the map (the PG, SG and a launchpad) that do NOT need to be duplicated and rotated by Mirix. Other files of interest for Mirix: * textures.txt : my substitution list for textures * spirit3ctfduel1.mir : Mirix project file for the map, tells it what to rotate/replace/where to write output etc THANKS ======= * some friends I tested the map with, you know who you are * the guys over at the q3w and map-center forums for comments and feedback * q3w - http://www.quake3world.com/forum/ * mc - http://www.map-center.com/forums/ * lvl for hosting and feedback - http://www.lvlworld.com COPYRIGHT / PERMISSIONS ======================== This level is (c) by spirit (2007).
