@monaster, umm I say at the top of the thread 'This map is designed for Quake 3 Arena 1.32 and IOQuake 3' so I am not sure why you are running an old version?

Just me being conservative and anxious. I usually tend to interpret "designed for" in terms of "tested with that version but might as well work with an older one", my bad. That's why I proposed adding an "only" to your description so in case there are other people as stupid as me, that they won't fall for 1.30 and keep wondering why they can't get your great map to work. By the way, just played through it, I only found one misaligned texture to be quite obvious the rest is -as said- great. Took me about 30 minutes to restore power everywhere and find 6 skulls, 40 minutes to find 9 skulls, and 1:20 h to find that damn last skull!
Don't let yourself get hired by id the community would miss your maps.

@monaster, I am still surprised you were using version 1.3 but I am glad you finally upgraded. The latest pointrelease is certainly much better on limits but I still found a way of breaking things. Did you get a chance to record any demo's? Also what was the last skull you were stuck on?

@zihaben, this map will ONLY work with point release 1.32b+. It really needs to be mentioned in this review.

Astonishing Map, in a positive way, of course.
Always wanted to create something like this myself. Of course it is hard if you don't know this shader/texture replacing stuff. The puzzles are cool, but still don't have all skulls. I will find them, but without the tube link. Like Pat I also turned off cg_draw2d. Didn't know that there is text included. Solved the puzzles myself anyway. I love adventures!

@sock: Defraggers even put start and stop timers into test_bigbox...

its lacking in reward effects, its the most complex q3map ive ever seen puzzle wize, and wow yeah the youtube run through was pretty amazing, but at the same time,it seems to lack something...... not sure though, it makes a great trial, but it has no prizes.... or pretty stage completion effects or something that would entity up in another manner, like youve done very complex things with buttons and triggers, hows about transferring some of that complexity into effects of some kind interactive...

been playing wizard101 a lot lately and ADMIRE their magical effects and environmentals and par tickle effects.

aside from that, it feels missing a bit of rough contrast, like a stark stone color contrast or something, it feels very full of one color, which is not bad or anything, im volun tear-ing my open yawn
