=============================================================================== Title : AEon's Cyber Arena Filename : AEcyrena.BSP Version : 3/1/98 (r177) Author : Christoph AEon Loewe Email Address : AEon@astro.uni-bonn.de Other levels by author : None at present.. but I'm working on it ;) Download and more info about this map: http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~cloewe/q2/ Description : Here is my *first* Quake II map... It was specifically designed for GL Cards, like with Diamond Monster 3D (Voodoo 3Dfx), without such a card the level ill look plain indeed. A previous version of this map ran under Quake. I have completely reworked the map textures for Quake II, added colored light sources and a "secret" passage, better item and weapon placement. Overall it's a bit darker than the Quake beta version. Even though this is my first Quake I/II map, I have built 6 other maps for Duke Nukem 3D, so I'm not a complete newbie :) No thrills like teleporters, doors, platforms or other gimicks used for 2 reasons: First off most of these mess up the game flow (and I hate that), second I haven't gotten into that just yet :))) This map can be played on AEon's Quake II: 131.220.96.124 (on Linux Server soon 131.220.96.41) If you find anything really lacking or have some level building tips for me don't hesitate to send in an email :)) Additional Credits to : id, Mikey (QUAD) and some of the fluXes (M7, Atom,...) for testing the Quake I/II beta version... =============================================================================== * Play Information * Game : Quake 2 Single Player : No (1 single player start for CTH :) Cooperative : No Deathmatch : Yes, 11 DM starts Difficulty Settings : No New Sounds : No New Graphics : No Demos Replaced : No * Construction * Base : new map Build Time : 1.5 weeks under Quake I, 4-5 days to redo it for Quake II (I deparately hope with more practice this will be a lot faster to do... phew...) Known Bugs : Central room, aligns textures weirdly, not sure what's up here. (Texture choice M7 would say is a bug ;) Even under vis "-level 4" there are "missing walls" in the map if you run the level under non-GL... so don't do that ;) * How to use this level * Make a "maps" directory in ../quake2/baseq2 and copy the level into it. In Quake2, bring up the console and type in "map AEcyrena". To start a deathmatch game either start it as usual and type "map AEcyrena" in the server's console or start a multiplayer server from Quake 2 and type "map AEcyrena" in the console. * Copyright / Permissions * This level is (c) by Christoph A.
