================================================================= Title : King of the Hill Quake Arena Filename : qarena.bsp Author : James Smallwood (MrBoots) Email Address : mrboots@hotmail.com or mrboots@geocities.com E-mail any comment or suggestions. Description : A small, enclosed arena with all weapons except the Thunderbolt. Small amount of health and only one suit of Red Armor. Health and armor can be reached only by rocket jumping, and those who do are sitting ducks for rockets and grenades. Beware. Story : Okay, here's the story behind the KOTHQArena. After destroying Shub-Niggurath, you return home to find that all the marines are slacking off and have become pansies. To remedy this, you devised an "arena" style building to pit two to four of your comrades against each other in a firefight. You brought back all the weapons you used in your previous mission except the Thunderbolt (who knows why). In the center of the arena is a floating platform with the only health and armor available, and can only be reached by rocket jumping (this was to develop better tactical use with weapons amongst your fellow marines). Also, in a small arena next to one of the walls is the Quad Damage rune, wide open for all to see. Unfortunately, to get the power-up, a marine must enter a small enclosed area, making him an excellent target for a rocket :). Future Plans : More "king of the hill" style Deathmatch arenas. Once I learn the program (Thred) and master it, I hope to make some single player maps as well. Additional Credits to : id Software and Thred ================================================================= * Play Information * Game : Quake Single Player : Not bloody likely Cooperative : Hmmm... Deathmatch : Yep. The map was specifically designed for two to four players and any more than this can cause some major slowdown and is WAY too crowded. Oh yeah, I haven't added anymore than four deathmatch spawn entities, so it's not even possible. :) Difficulty Settings : Nope New Sounds : Nope New Graphics : Hell no Demos Replaced : None * Construction * Build Date : November 9, 1997 Build Time : About 30 or 40 minutes Editor(s) used : Thred (this thing kicks ass!) Known Bugs : Besides the fact that it's my first map and there isn't a variety of textures, I haven't found any bugs. If you find one (or ten), e-mail me the bug and any suggestions for fixing it. Also, if you have any ideas for new arenas (king of the hill style), let me know and I'll try to encorporate it into my next map. * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may NOT (!) use this level as a base to build additional levels.
