5/12/98 ================================================================ Title : Glitch Filename : rcdm5.bsp Author : Robert "Fat Controller" Cruickshank Email Address : crescendo@xtra.co.nz Homepage : http://come.to/cruickro Description : Sandstorm cubed, with a few new textures. Consists of three atria arranged in a triangle connected by stairs, teleports and wind tunnels. Player Load : 6 in FFA max, good too for 1-on-1. Additional Credits : - The dudes behind the Omicron Bots - Flying Nun Records (www.flyingnun.co.nz) - NRA for the eponymous song, off their albums "Mud Babies" and "Hold On to Your Face" - axl and Rogue for the original textures - Mister Fribbles and Gonzo for testing and advice - Iikka Keränen for IKLITE - Jasc for Paint Shop Pro - Ben Morris for Worldcraft shareware - I'll register, I pwomise! :*) ================================================================ * Play Information * Single Player : No (except for testing) Cooperative : No Deathmatch : Yes (8) Difficulty Settings : No New Sounds : No New Graphics : Yes; modified/combined Keränen, axl and id textures. Spawn Point Marking : Weapon, armour and teleport destination only New QuakeC Stuff : No Demos Replaced : No Transparent Water : Yes (well, lava anyway) * Item Mix * Super Shotguns : 0 Pentagram of Protection : 0 Nailguns : 0 Quad Damage : 0 Perforators : 2 Ring of Shadows : 1 Grenade Launchers : 1 Megahealth : 1 Rocket Launchers : 2 Yellow Armor : 0 Thunderbolts : 1 Red Armor : 0 * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor(s) used : Worldcraft shareware; MipDip (wad); IKLITE; RVIS; pencil and paper, cheap whiteboard and markers, Paint Shop Pro 4.1 Known Bugs : Shiny shiny textures. Build Time : About half a month. I have other things on the boil. Compile machine : Compaq Presario 2200 (Cyrix MGX-166, 30MB RAM) (That's right: *30* megs! Compaq dedicates 2 megs for video, but it still manages to get away with saying 16 megs in the ads. In short: I ain't no Bario.) QBSP Time : 2 minutes 43 seconds Light Time : 54 minutes 34 seconds. IKLITE's timer isn't very precise. VIS (-level 4) Time : 7 minutes 53 seconds on RVIS Brushes : 784 Entities : 401 Models : 4 average leafs visible : 101 * Notes * Some spotlights aren't the normal "light targeting info_null" sort, due to aesthetics. The ones in the hallways are actually two lights: a normal light up top, and a quickly fading one at the bottom. This way I can get a decent spread of light without fiddling with extra lights. * History * v0.x: Constructed as mix of Biohazard and Messy Base architecture. Really sucked though. v1.0: Wholly new layout, some weapons, one spawnpoint. Really a walkthrough for tweaking architecture. v1.1: More weaponry and spawnpoints. A playable, fully vised and lit tester. Added MH room. v1.2: Widened bottom level walkways, added SNGs, more armour, ammo and healthkits, modified spotlights on middle level in the atria, added ambient noises, closed off "murder hole" above stair running from bottom to middle level, changed lighting from lava. v1.3: Added two wind tunnels either side of one atrium to reduce camping on top level, with "landing pads" to prevent you falling back to ground level. Changed teleport surrounds. * How to Use * Extract the BSP to ID1/MAPS as per usual, and run it from the console a la MAP RCDM5. After this disgusting soiree you will be slipped over to DM5.
