Quake3World

Hello guys,

Not too long ago I purchased both expansions to Quake 2 on Steam. This brought back memories about the fun I had with Quake 2 MP. There was a specific map that I was really fond of. The problem is, I don't know who made it, what it was called or when it was released. Needless to say, I haven't found it yet. I was hoping that someone here might have the answer.

The map was basically a big cylinder with different tiers and lifts. There was lava or water on the bottom and it was quite popular back then. I know it's little to go on, but it's all I have.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

It's a custom Quake 2 SP map or a MP map?

For SP maps you might wanna start looking here : http://quake2.com/bestq2maps/sp_archives.htm

or here :

Good luck in your research, you'll need it :P

Thanks for the links. It's a MP map btw!

That help as an indicator.... Tokay's Tower is the first one that come to my mind :

It's a lot like that but I remember it as a single atrium map. This one has two. I also remember a different textureset. The color was green I think. Maybe it was an different take on this one or perphaps your right. I mean, it's been 13 years ago

Have a look here. Lots of maps with screens of each.

q2dm2 was also the first thing that came into my mind. But if it's just a single atrium then I can't say I've seen it.

Make a thread over at tastyspleen.net forums - they've seen thousands of weird and wonderful maps over the years so they might be able to help.

Thanks for all the help. Very usefull links. I've been browsing a lot of maps and I haven't found it yet but atleast I got enough places to look now.

Thanks again!

Sounds like one of the Dreamcast maps. I don't have a link to them at hand.

maybe psx or n64

There is a map in the N64 version of Q2 called "Agony" which does have a single cylindrical atrium layout, though there is no water or lava.

That could be. But I played this on the PC so if it's from an console, it had already been ported over back then.

They've been converted over to the PC by peewee_rota, although they're only 3 years old, so if it's an older map then it is most likely something else.

Speaking of Q2 custom maps, does anyone know where I can find the Eraser bot mod in a zip that is in the form of the mod in it's folder, rather than it being the 1.01 installer. That 1.01 installer doesn't work on the new computer that I bought. I had the mod on my last computer before it died ... I just never burnt it off because the disc drive on that computer was shot before it died. Custom maps aren't all that entertaining without a bot...

I do have the Eraser bot on my old cd of custom Quake 2 stuff, but it's in the form of an .exe, here' what I got for bots for Quake 2 :

acesetup.exe
crbot114.zip
cujo.zip
Eraser0320.exe
ice_10.zip
ogrebot.zip
qs-ebw_232full_msp.zip
rambot_v48a.zip
reaper.zip
shooter.zip
Tangential_160_Win32.zip

The 3rd-Zigock Bot is a much better bot for Q2. You can find it here: http://users.jp.tri6.net/~ponpoko/3zb2097.zip

Gladiator bot is the way to go imo. It's what Q3's bot code is based on.

Eraser bot is where I got my name from. My bro and a friend would mock me for playing the Eraser bot because unlike them, I didn't have a (good) internet connection. Their Mr Eraser bot diss stuck when I started playing online. Unfortunately it quickly turned out Eraser is a very, very common nickname, hence my regular use of the intentionally misspelled "Eraesr".

Damn NIN for making the nick Eraser too popular..

Thx for the mod!

Doh! My brain translated that to 3.
