I'm already on one. Web Site : Visit http://lunaran.fragland.net Previous Releases : lun3dm1 - Coriolis Storm, Q3DM lun2dm1 - The Gridlock, Q2DM westfront - Westfront Facility, HLDM complex - The Complex, Q2DM Installation : To install, simply unzip and place lun3dm2.pk3 in your baseq3 directory wherever you installed Quake3: Arena. The map should now be accessible via the Multiplayer menu or by typing "\map lun3dm2" at the console without the quotes. Acknowledgements : Anyone who liked lun3dm1, id, everyone at QMap, Nug, and Bill Stuckey Facknowledgements : id for the wonderfully smart bots, and those wonderfully helpful attendees of the Q3World Level Editing Forum for answering all of my questions Beta Testers : than, Killer, Scampie, NotoriousRay, DeathMonger, Auhsan, "Barf Hubris," Alcatraz & his team - Play Information ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Player Base : Free-For-All, 1 on 1 Default Bots : Doom, Gorre, Razor, Wrack, Lucy Number of Players : 2-6 Item Load : 2 SGs, RL, RG, PG, LG, GL, 2 YAs, RA, MH, Haste. - Construction --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Base : New level from scratch (old unused Q2 level design) Texture Scheme : LunBase (blue) Construction Time : ~40 hours over 30 days Prefabs Used : None Average R_Speeds : 4200 world, entities, no players Worst Case R_Speeds : 5800 world, entities, no players Editor(s) used : QERadiant 197 Known Issues : The Quake3 bots are UNBELIEVABLY STUPID. ... so that isn't really an issue with the map as such, but it certainly affects solo play. Several items, including the RL, require a simple jump to reach. The Q3 bots are completely incapable of jumping to anything without the assistance of a jumppad, and henceforth none of them can get the RA without dropping onto it from above, none use the RL, and none go for the Regen or Megahealth. : I have tried several user add-on bots, and the only one that adds capability of jumping to an item is the RWG_BotAI tweak, (http://www.quotientsystems.com/q3), and even then performance is damn sorry. They do actually grab the RL and MH, but only once in a blue moon. : Henceforth, I strongly reccomend you play this map with living beings until some better bots come out (or you die, whichever comes first). If you are a diehard solo person like I am, use the RWG bot or, likely more enjoyably, play a different map altogether. : In an ideal world, the pulse of the lights would sync with the pulse of the sound, but Q3 apparently does not aggressively track what times things happen, and so the two can sometimes come out of sync after a teleportation or a visit to the MH. : The engine likes to apply a very light blue haze of fog to the cieling of the dome room. It's invisible if you aren't looking for it and doesn't affect gameplay. - Compilation ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q3Map BSP Time : 20 seconds Q3Map VIS Time : 12 seconds Q3Map LIGHT Time : 1 hour, 40 minutes Lighting Params : -extra Compile Computer : PII 300mhz, 128 megs of RAM, Win98 - Copyright / Permissions ---------------------------------------------------------------- Authors May Not decompile the BSP as a base to build additional levels.
