Snow Base - Action Quake2 Map

[Paril]

*==================
Creator: Paril
Name: Snow Base
Mod: Action Quake2 LTK 1.26 (Single player/COOP support!)
*==================
Description:
---------------
Snow Base is my first released map for Quake 2. Surprise!

It is a small map, best for a 4 player DM or 8 player Teamplay. There are monsters included, this map will be the first official map to support Action Quake2 LTK 1.26's Single Player/Cooperative gamemode!

Snow Base is NOT officially my map. It is a DAPP (Direct as Possible Port) of a map off of a freeware game (X Operations). Their formats are incompatible with eachother, so I had to do it all by hand.
-----------------
Technical Info:
-----------------
Players: 2-8, rec. 4-8
Gamemodes: Deathmatch, Teamplay, Single Player, Cooperative
Build time: -BSP: 0.7 seconds
-VIS: None, didn't do lights.
-RAD: None, didn't do lights.

This map contains no lighting whatsoever (fullbright) to replicate the X Operations feeling.

Known Bugs
================
- A few faces on some brushes are mis-faced. If you find one, screenshot it and show it to me. I will release a better version another day.

- The snow and the texture inside the north-west building's holds are very white. Depending on your settings they can hurt your eyes. Take note of this!

- Some brushes overlap other brushes. It's hardly noticable...

Sneaking in the back way

I knew I heard something over here...

Wow, a conveniently placed plank that connects these two buildings, allowing me to transfer myself up higher!

[Paril]

Sorry.. I couldn't find a snow texture that Quake2 wouldn't eff up with it's goddanged color palette...!

;D

"The Armaggedon Device" (TAD) has some snow, maybe you should have a look at this.

and you might also look for a skybox which fits to the snow.
btw, what kind of lighting do you use ?




PS:

(ah, didn't see that ... )

This map contains no lighting whatsoever (fullbright) to replicate the X Operations feeling.

[Paril]

Ah, that's right.

I should know, I have all three mission packs (StroggDM has their monsters )..
Thanks.

I didn't bother with skybox. Not my thing. You can change it with the sky var.

Note, if you're using an engine that supports TGAs, it most probably converts pcxs to tgas before using them and it won't look so bright.

Google "Q2CP" engine
