The Forgotten Place (q3dm5) Conversion for Quake 2

[grieve[Q2C]]

has high r_speeds in some places, but runs well.

additionally you can download this, a version that plays the music automatically and looped:

Wait, you put music in the map, but only as a .wav that's looped globally?

You really should have it as a 44KHz .ogg file under baseq2/music/ and specify its filename (without the .ogg extension, at least 3 chars long) under the "musictrack" worldspawn key. My v3.24 patch and KMQ2 will play it on a separate channel, where you can adjust the music volume directly.

pretty cool feature, will remember it next time I use music in a map.

[knightmare]

Why wait until your next map? You could release another variant with the music in .ogg format.

[grieve[Q2C]]

well, I also want this to be compatible with other ports, at least for Q2pro ....

[knightmare]

It won't break compatibility. There will just be a "musictrack is not a field" message in the console if the game DLL doesn't support that.

[grieve[Q2C]]

yep, but music just wouldn't work with other ports.

there are already 3 versions of the map around, q2_q3dm5.bsp (without music), q2_q3dm5b.bsp (with switcheable music, like in *Beethoviana* or Maric's *Spirit Wind*), and as an addition, q2_q3dm5c.bsp which starts with the music looped.
