=================================================================================== June 8, 1998 =================================================================================== Title : Bubbling Water Filename : bubwater.zip Author : Barry Walker "Jethro" Email Address : barry@icom.net WWW Homepage: : http://idt.net/~diba/ Date : June 8, 1998 Description : My third Q2 map. It's a CTF "mirror" map, as all of mine are likely to be. I'd appreciate your feedback, but keep in mind that "your map stinks" won't help me make better maps. Be sure to tell my WHY it stinks and what I could do better. Additional Credits to: id - without whom I would never have made a map. Lithium (for QOOLE, my editor). RUST: for his excellent and useful tutorial. Quake 2 workshop: the guys who monitor qworkshop@quake.com, also for great tutorials and E-Mail assistance. Ridah (Ryan Feltrin): author of the amazing ERASER BOT, which is how I test these maps out. Colin ("funkyassmime"): my son, whose patience and assistance in play testing is invaluable. Diane (my wife): A Q2 widow, who puts up with this absorbing pastime of mine. ========================================================================================= * Play Information * Game : Quake II/CTF Level Name : Bubbling Water File name : bubwater.bsp, bubwater.rtz (ERASER BOT routes) Single Player : No. Cooperative : No. Deathmatch 2-8 Players : Yes.

Apparently, the trainees were expected to perform time critical missions, and the Stroggs dealt fairly severly with failure to keep up. If you wonder why this is called "Bubbling" water, hang out for a while on the other side of the air locks... -------------------------------------------------------------- * Loading information * To load this Q2 map: Unzip the bubwater.bsp in the archive to c:\quake2\baseq2\maps\ Start Quake 2/CTF normally. When the game starts, hit the tilde (~) key to bring down the console and type: "map bubwater" If you have the ERASER BOT, I've included my routes for this map. It's easier to test with BOTs, but I'd like to hear of human/human interactions as well. The routes file is bubwater.rtz. Unzip this to ERASER's ROUTES directory to use it. For whatever, just email me at barry@icom.net. * Copyright / Permissions * (c) by Barry Walker, 1998. The author's written permission is required for commercial use.
