March 3, 1998 Quake2 Deathmatch map ======================================================== Title Lava Pit Filename lavaroom.bsp, lavaroom.map included Author Keith Hersel Email krhers01@homer.louisville.edu Description One large room that fills with lava. Made for 2-3 people. Dark lower level and bright upper level. Other Levels by Author: The Killing Fields (thefield.bsp @ cdrom.com) Additional Credits: Id, Yahn Bernier, I got the idea from a map called WDWDM2.bsp by Wiebo de Wit ========================================================= * Play Information * Game: Quake2 Single Player: No Cooperative: I've never tried it Deathmatch: Yes, 2-4 players, 3 starts - very small. * Construction * Base: New map from scratch Editor used: BSP V0.93 Build time: hour/day for about 3 weeks Known bugs: For some reason, I always respawn at the same place. Once in 500 deaths I came up somewhere else. For an unknown reason, an area-portal shows through on one side of a door. I have not yet found out what causes it - very strange. Compile machine: P150, 48Mb ram QBSP3: 24 sec. QVIS3: about 11 hours QRAD3: 25 minutes * Notes * This is my first Quake2 map. The reason it is so small is that there is only one person on my LAN who will play quake so we needed a good two player map. The grayflashing, I'm sorry, but you'll just have to get used to it. Is there some way to get rid of it by compiling longer or something? I'd rather have large rooms than no graying anyway. Hints: See the bfg? The door is hidden in the wall somewhere above it and you have to shoot it. That place where the light comes out from under the door, that's invincibility. The button is in plain sight, but you have to crouch to get to the trigger field above it, so its not real noticible. * Copyright / Permission * CDROM.COM has to sell this map, so I don't really care what happens to it. Just give me credit if it's used in any way. The map file is included for educational purposes. I'll do this until the zip files get too large. If you want to modify it, go ahead but send me a copy.
