Need help finding maps..

[-TraV-]

So I just got back into playing Quake 2 (it's been a while) I was trying to find a couple of maps I liked...

The first one I'm pretty sure is called "The Good, the Bad, and the Gibbed" (don't know the file name) it was a small/medium size map and had colored light strips running across the walls, I don't believe there was any custom textures used.

The other is going to be tough because I have no clue what its called, it's where you're inside of a tall sky scrapper at night, looks a lot like "What is the Matrix" map here maps.clanwos.org/maponserver/q2map_m.htm (33rd map on the page) but it was bigger and not from the matrix movie of course.

I know this is a long shot, but I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks.

Hi Trav and welcome back. And Happy B-Day
The first map..do you remember the author or maybe how old the map is?, was it a dm map only?

The second one..was this map very clean and sharp about 2 floors with a lobby as a centre and some soda machines every here and there and quite alot of glasses/windows?

Haha thanks, yeah it just happens to be my birthday today lol.

To answer your first question, I do not know who the author was unfortunately. It was DM only and it was very well done, nice clean looking map. This map must be at least 6 years old. I googled the hell out of trying to find this map but came up with nothing

Second question, yes that does sound about right!..

[Wixen1 [Q2C]]

Well, I did some google on the first one and did not find anything.

Could the second one be something like this one:

Yeah I'll probably have to face the fact that I won't be able to find the first map.

That screenshot does look like the 2nd map I'm looking for ;D Where did you get it from?


-UPDATE-
Haha I don't give up that easy, found the first one

It's actually called 'Good the Bad & Gibble' and it's by Mark "Slyde" Ruocco. I eventually found it through Google, here's the link www.gamefreaks.net/defrag/reviews/goodbad.html of course the download link was broken, but since I had the .bsp file name it didn't take long to find a working link elsewhere (found one on Gamefront)

-UPDATE 2-
Found the 2nd one

I checked the image source of your screenshot which was called silit.jpg, so I went to maps.clanwos.org/maponserver/ (best place for a wide selection of Q2 maps) and found a map called 'Silitex2' and the screenshot for that map looked about right

[Wixen1 [Q2C]]

Hehe..you sneaky little... I named the screenshot myself for reference and you are right, it is the silitex2, download link here:

www.deaconstomb.org/pub/q2/maps/silitex2.zip

if you want the txt.file included then use this link:

www.pondscum.tv/olafsmaps/silitex2.zip

The author Spear[C.A.P] also made the map silitex, which was a bit harder to find. Download link here:

Iam happy you found the first one, I did a 1-2 hour search again today without any results..

[Wixen1 [Q2C]]

The first one, Good the Bad & Gibble, what is the bsp name? or can you provide the link, so all of us don't need to search anymore...lol..

Sure here ya go www.gamefront.com/files/3147151/sldm5.bsp.zip/ it's definitely a small size DM map. I love when you're walking down some of the light strip hallways, it's like something out of Tron

Thanks for the txt file and the other silitex map, I checked it out, it's not quite as nice as silitex2 but still pretty cool looking.

Thanks TraV. Thats a need map and I think it may have a good gameplay to it.
Le Ray made a map in 2004, Neonopolis. This map also have some great neon effects. DL. here:

Thanks, that's a pretty cool map as well. Much larger map than the one I have and I like the use of the neon colored lights
