<> Released: 08/03/98 ================================================================ Title : The Nexus Filename : nexus1.bsp Author : Peter "Shadowdane" Weatherby WardSix Level Designer - www.wardsix.com Email Address : shadowdane@ntr.net Description : A remake of my level 'Nexus01' from Duke3d.. I always thought this level was great in Duke3d, hey it's even better in Quake2!! This is a medium sized DM level for a really fun 2 player match. And when you throw in more players it becomes a real frag-fest!! I found it to be really fun with 6 or more players or some bots. This level is Eraser-Bot ready!! The route file (nexus1.rtz) should be unzipped into your \eraser\routes\ folder and then you will be ready to go! Installation : This is pretty simply but some people manage to mess it up!! This level contains 2 custom textures so if you don't do this right you are going to have some errors when you try to run the map. The ZIP file is set up so be unzipped into x:/Quake2/ using the -d option for you PKUNZIP users, or 'use Folder Names' for the WinZip users. If for some reason this doesn't work this is where the files need to go... x:\Quake2\ -- \baseq2\maps\ -- nexus1.bsp -- nexus1.txt (You can put this anywhere) \baseq2\textures\sd\ -- clight1.wal -- wlight1.wal \eraser\routes\ -- nexus1.rtz (Optional - Only for the Eraser Bot) If you need help getting this to work e-mail me at the above address. Additional Credits to : ID Software. Ben Caston for providing a server for us to playtest, and ToadEater, Banichi, BowB4God, Byzard, Tim, and Paul Bullman for help playtesting. And of course all the guys at WardSix!! Thanks to SubHuman of the 'Quake2 Bot Outpost' for Providing the Eraser Bot Route File. (http://www.planetquake.com/outpost/) Notes : Well I hate to have levels that might run a little slower on some computers, but to recreate this level as well as possible and still keep it looking good I had to sacrifice r_speeds a little. There are 2 areas where it can get up to 700! : ( But the level averages about 300-350. ================================================================ * Play Information * Single Player : Just for checking things Cooperative : No.. why would you want to do that!!
