--------------------------------------------------22.Nov.2000-- ..::LvL pack - the cream off the top i, what to do ii, single play support iii, authors and maps iv, running a server v, who did this? vi, some info vii, thanx, credits viii, copyright info ----what to do------------------------------------------------- Extract the contents of lvl-pack.zip to your baseq3 folder. Start a game as per normal. Some levels will only appear in the Tourney menu, others only in the Free For All. If you wish to play the maps as a 4 Teir single player mission see below for more info. ----single play support---------------------------------------- Included with this pack is a file called lvl-pack-sp.zip. This file contains "lvl-creamontop.pk3" which will create a 4 Tier single player game of all of the maps. Extract (with directory structure) to your main Quake III Arena folder. Once this is done there will be a "lvl-pack-sp" folder under your main Q3A folder. In the "lvl-pack-sp" folder you should find the following files: - lvl-creamontop.pk3 - lvl-pack.txt (a copy of this file) - lvl-pack.bat - lvl-pack-ioquake3.x86.bat If you want to "record" your stats and progress through the 4 tiers, you need to start the game with "+set fs_game lvl-pack-sp". For Windows users, you can use the included "lvl-pack.bat" (for standard Quake3) or "lvl-pack-ioquake3.x86.bat" for IOQuake3 users. Mac and Linux users will need work out how to do this. While you can use the Quake 3 menu system to select the "lvl-pack-sp" mod and start the single player mission, your "stats" and tier progress is NOT recorded this way. Bot play is not great on all the maps, but its better than nothing :] ----authors and maps------------------------------------------- * Natestah's Beotch by Nathan Silvers (natedm2) * Future Brownie by Fingers (ik3dm1) * Japanese Castles by g1zm0 (japandm) * Heavy Duty by Mr.CleaN (mrcq3t3) * Beatbox by ztn (ztn3dm2) * Let's Drink Beer and Shoot Things by Lunaran (lun3dm2) * Golconda by Bal (bal3dm2) * Blood Run by ztn (ztn3dm1) * The BackStab by Auhsan (auh3dm2) * Short Circuit by Binaryshi (shortcircuit) * Clowning Around by FxR|jude (cpm8) * OverWhelming Hostility by Auhsan (auh3dm1) * fff by stecki (fff) * Infernal Genesis by DeV (devdm3) * Up Close and Personal by DruZli (d3xf1) * Tig's Den by Tigger-oN (tig_den) ----running a server------------------------------------------- Also included are three map cycle files for server admins; * lvl-pack.cfg - contains all the maps, suits 2 to 6 players * lvl-pack-sm.cfg - targeted at 2 to 4 players games * lvl-pack-big.cfg - optimal for 4 to 6 player games If you currently run a server you will know what to do with these. If your new to it all, start your server and type the following at the console; \exec lvl-pack.cfg (or lvl-pack-sm.cfg or lvl-pack-big.cfg) This will start the map cycle and set the timelimit at 15 minutes with a fraglimit of 50. After a lot of play testing I've found this to be a very comfortable set-up for a LAN or online server. ----who did this?---------------------------------------------- The ..::LvL pack was put together by Tigger-oN with full permission given by the level authors. For more info check out - http://lvlworld.com/ ----some info-------------------------------------------------- After 11 months of map reviews at ..::LvL I've decided to put together some of the best maps in one big fat download. The maps included are some of my favourites. I've included levels that I feel are great for playing humans on a small LAN or online server. Bots files are included however the maps are best against humans. For practical reasons there are only 16 maps included. Challenge Pro Mode comes highly recommended with this pack. You can grab the latest build from http://www.promode.org/ lvl-pack-textures.pk3 contains a few missing textures and scripts from the maps included in the pack. ----thanx, credits--------------------------------------------- Big fat thanx with a huge cherry on top goes out to all the mappers who have work in this pack. Another big fat thanx goes out to all the mappers that have submitted work to ..::LvL over the last 11 months, its you lot that has kept ..::LvL going strong. And one more big fat thanx goes out to all the people that drop by ..::LvL and leave a comment about the maps (or just drop to check out what's new) ----copyright info--------------------------------------------- Copyright is held by the level authors individual.
