Welcome back to ID Softwares best map ever!   q2dm1 (The Edge)

By Elroacho 

They truely get all of the credit for this map. I simply re-surfaced it
and changed very minor things to keep the map playable in quake3. I was very sad to see that the "double jump" was lost in q3. So while making this map, my main goal was to keep the structural intergity of the map the same as the original. I also wanted as many of the jumps from quake2 to be able to be done in quake3. 

There for a few double jump placements had to be improvised without changeing the map drastically. I would say that 75% of the jumps could be done in just a conversion of q2dm1 with out changing anything. I wanted more than that to keep the playabality flowing. I belive that about 90% of the jumps can be done on this conversion, while 10% are lost forever (unles a mod comes out with double jump as one of it's features). 

---------------------------ABOUT THE MAP-------------------------------

I used all stock textures except for one, a water texture. I added five small jumpads where you where able to double jump in quake 2. Not all of the double jumps have been changed, just the very important ones. I added an angled brush by the lower rocket launcher because you can no longer use ramps to jump higher than normal. Another one of my main goals was to keep the frames per second as high as possible. So this map isn't extremly fancy, But i did add some shaders to give it the q3 feel. And yes this map was made from scratch. Since there is no chaingun in q3 and since the cahingun and the machinegun used the same ammo, i mixed them as evenly as possible.

Blaster------------------Gone
Shotgun------------------Double Barrel Shotgun
Machinegun---------------Machinegun
Super Shotgun------------Double Barrel Shotgun
Chaingun-----------------Lightning Gun
Grenade Launcher---------Grenade Launcher
Rocket Launcher----------Rocket Launcher
Hyper Blaster------------Plasma Gun
Railgun------------------Railgun

It took about a 2 month's to get everything together and ready to be played on. 

-------------------------------BUGS------------------------------------

The only bug i noticed is the elevators. Unfortunality the elevators don't work exactly the same as in quake2. When some one rides the elevator up they can camp there and it won't came back down until they walk off it. But you can shoot them from underneath with a rocket launcher and hurt them, making them move from the elevator. I have a means to fix this problem but the bots won't use the big elevator at all. It could be done for a multiplayer map only..no bots.(if enough people ask me to:)

------------------------------CREDITS----------------------------------

ID Software for the original quake 2 map...q2dm1 (The Edge) The Best :)

Weedo for the use of his PC for compiling means (I have a slow pc in other words) and for many ideas on structural and entity placement.

Thanx to everyone at the Quake3World.com forums for tips and tricks about editing with q3radient.

Members of the BTC Clan for helping me test it.

And to any one else that helped that i've forgotton about. (bad memory)

---------------------------HOW TO PLAY---------------------------------

Put the q3edge.pk3 file in your quake3\baseq3\ directory
Make sure that sv_pure is set to 0 or no maps other than the originals can be played. You can do this by typing this into the console

/sv_pure 0

then the map name

/map q3edge

(you can also make an autoexec.cfg and add set sv_pure "0" into it so you don't have to type that into the console everytime) To do this, make a COPY of q3config (q3config.cfg) and rename it to autoexec (autoexec.cfg) Erase all the text in it and add the line
seta sv_pure "0"      Save it and play away.

-------------------------------MODS------------------------------------

This map is designed for team deathmatch, free for all, tourney, and 
capture the flag.
