================================================================ Title : MINDGAME Filename : mindg Author(s) : Kenny Fong (no relation to Dennis Fong aka Thresh!!) lol Email Address : kenny.f@hwcn.org Description : A deathmatch level for one-on-one duels. THe file size is pretty small because of limited textures, so expect it to be bland but hopefully smooth and fast.(fingers crossed there) :-) Additional Credits to : Awesome dudes at Id Software! i've been addicted since Wolfenstein3D! Ben Morris for Worldcraft Steven Polge for THE Reaperbots ================================================================ * Play Information * Level Name : Mindgame Single Player : no Cooperative 1-32 Player : no Deathmatch : YES but only 2-4 players unless you want chaotic carnage (8 respawn points) Difficulty Settings : no New Sounds : no New Graphics : no Sound Track : track 1 on Quake CD Demos Replaced : none .map Included : no Software needed to play : just registered Quake preferably version 1.06 and up (ctf, normal quake etc.) Comments : i'm trying to capture the small and 'just-right' feel of e1m1 and e1m2 for one-on-one deathmatch here. Warning...there are no rocket launchers in this map, only double-barrelled shotguns, super nailguns and grenade launchers(hidden). This lvl is NOT for folks who don't like maps with a lot of sounds (thereby giving away your location to opponents). In fact, it's designed for extremely cunning deathmatching, making sounds is a way to confuse and trick other players who rely on listening, hence the name MINDGAME. Oh yeah, please send feedback if you think it sucks, but PLEASE, tell me WHY it sucks...eh? * Construction * Base : from scratch Build Time : 2 weeks System Used : P133 with 32Megs RAM Qbsp : the version that comes with Worldcraft shareware Vis (-level 4) : lvl 4 Light (-extra) : extra Brushes : darn, remind me to write down bsp's output file next time.. 253 solids, 1595 faces entities : 67 pointentities, 16 solidentities miptex : err, wassat? anyone care to 'enlighten' a newbie here? :-) Texture WAD used: Quake's original Editor(s) used : Worldcraft, qbsp, vis, light Known Bugs : none, unless ugly is a bug! :-) (i promise my single player lvls will look much better!) * How to use this level * In your Quake/Id1 directory create a directory called "maps" and copy the level into it.

A small balding man storms into a local bar and demands "Gimme a double of the strongest whiskey you got! I'm so pissed I can't even see straight!" The bartender, noticing that the little man is a bit the worse for wear, pours him a DOUBLE of Southern Comfort. The man swills down the drink and says, "Gimme another ONE!". The bartender pours the drink, but says "Now, before I give you this, why don't you let off a little steam and tell me WHY you're so upset?" So the man begins his tale: "Well, I was sitting in the bar next door when this gorgeous blonde slinks in, and actually sits beside ME at the bar. I thought WOW, this has never happened before. You know, it was kind of a fantasy come TRUE. Well, a couple of minutes later I feel this hand moving around in my lap and the blonde leans over, licks my ear, and asks if I'm INTERESTED? I couldn't believe this was happening! I managed to nod my head YES, so she grabs my hand, and starts walking out of the bar. So of course I went with her. This was just too good to be true!" "She took me down the street here to a nice hotel and up to her room. As soon as she shut the door she slips out of her dress. That was all she was wearing! I tell you it didn't take me much longer to get out of my clothes! But as soon as I jumped into the bed, I hear some keys jingling, and SOMEONE starts fumbling with the door." "The blonde says 'Oh my god, it's my BOYFRIEND. He must have lost his WRESTLING match tonight, he's gonna be REAL MAD! Quick, HIDE!'" "So, I opened at the CLOSET, but I figured that was probably the FIRST place he would look, so I didn't hide there. Then I looked under the bed, but no, I figured he's bound to look there, TOO. By now I could hear the key in the lock. I noticed the window was open, so I climbed out and was hanging there by my FINGERS praying that the guy WOULDN'T see me." The bartender says "Well I can see how you might be a BIT FRUSTRATED at this point." "Well, yeah, but I hear the guy finally get the door open and he yells out 'Who you been sleeping with now, bitch?' The girl says 'Nobody, honey, now come to bed and calm down.' Well the guy starts TEARING up the room. I hear him tear the door off the closet and throw it across the room. I'm thinking 'Boy, I'm glad I didn't hide in there.' Then I hear him lift up the bed and throw it across the room. Good thing I didn't hide under there either. Then I heard him say 'What's that over there by the WINDOW?' I think 'Oh Shit, I'm dead meat now'. But the blond by now is trying real hard to distract him and convince him to stop looking." "Well, I hear the guy go into the bathroom, and I hear water running for a long time, and I figure maybe he's gonna take a bath or something, when all of a sudden the asshole pours a pitcher of scalding HOT WATER out of the window right on top of my head! I mean look at this, I got second degree burns all over my scalp and shoulders!" The bartender says, "Oh man, that would have pissed me off for SURE." "No, that didn't really BOTHER me. Next the guy starts slamming the window shut over and over on my hands. I mean, look at my fingers. They're a bloody mess, I can hardly hold onto this glass." The bartender looks at the guy's hands and says "Yeah, buddy, I can understand why you are so UPSET." "No, that WASN'T what really pissed me off." The bartender then asks in exasperation, "Well, then, what DID finally piss you off?" "Well I was hanging there, and I turned around and looked down, and I WAS ONLY ABOUT 6 INCHES OFF THE GROUND!"
