[Q3A DM] pmk1 (Alpha 3)

[mazk1985]

Hello.

This is my first proper attempt at a semi decent Q3A map. I'm mainly posting this for item placement, path flow and structure play testing. It's in a very early stage with basic lighting and no details so theres definately room for small to medium sized alterations to the structure.

I've played around with different configurations between the big pickups. Originally the RA was in the center but found it more fun to put the RG instead. Please let us know how you feel about the placements.

Changes:

-Made outside areas a bit bigger
-Changed locations of several items
-Several changes to structure

-Fixed temporary skybrushes that engulfed the entire map (each outside area is now properly sectioned off)
-Experimented with hints and area portals but need to learn more (bad things happened)

Alpha 2

-Packed into a .pk3

It's 2011. I doubt theres anyone that still has a computer that needs to have low quality textures in Quake 3.

The low quality textures were for clarity mainly while testing out the map with bots but true I should use high quality for screenshots. I'll take a few screenies in high quality with the hud and draw weapon hidden.

Cheers for that mate.

Mmm, it looks nice... But doesn't have an AAS file to play with bots...

Sorry about that. I'll fix and repost. cheers
