bunch of my maps

Post by mapperfapper »

Hi there!

Over the years I developed many maps just for me. They are....unusual as I guess. They are PUNK. Dont expect anything.
They are primary made for botplay. But Im more a designer than a gamer. So the challange here are the maps itself. They were created for Q3. In Openarena textures may be missing.
Some are inspired by other maps.
I did not include a txt.-file. Im too lazy therefore. Instead the map-files are there as a giveaway. Do with them whatever you want. Feel free to share, spread, delete or to develop them further
If you want to give me a feedback, do it here. I will not share my email adress.

Here comes the link:

Just downloading the ZIP file to check out. Now I am gonna to say you that your maps probably won't be accepted on LvLworld because of missing readme files. That you don't want to share your email address, just make another that you will use only for Quake 3 stuff, if you are worried about any spy? I would not recommend you to include fake email address as it is in most cases illegal and you then can't read emails sent to you by downloaders as they won't arrive to your non-existing inbox. First I perform antivirus scan (local and online) on your ZIP file to see if it does not offer some kind of malware scam. This should be anyway applied EVERYTIME when you download something from Internet, especialy from untrusted person. I did not see you there any time before, nor anybody with nick Thor. Your registered nick there is actualy a bit violating local rules - no sexual content, but I will be honest and see it as a way of compensation :p

I will post more informations later after all checking out. If antivirus scan will be OK, I will try out your maps in Quake 3 :)

My email adress I registered with is no fake. But its not my primary one also. I just wanted to say no readme file- no included contact given with the pk3-files.
Futher I dont think my maps are acepteable for LVL anyway, cause they follow hardly any standards.

Yes, scan them all for virus. Cause I didnt. I use linux now.

My nickname......I will lash myself. But this will make it even worse, I guess....

My maps are a gift to those who like. Before they drown in my grave....

Have a nice day, everyone

Well, no shame on you. Maps that do not contain contact informations are acceptable, but you should add at least some informations oabout your maps. At least what editor did you use, what compiler, how long it took to build the map, compile, do it include bot support? Is it completely original map or is it a remake? These informations should be contained in readme files at least...

Ok. new try.

I added a readme file to every pk3.
I hope u like it more now. But I cant give all information as wished, cause I do not have them (like the compiling time).

Here the link to the new map-pack:

I understand. It is just a standard to give some information on how the map was built and how long it took (to make clear how much effort and time you gave to the building)... If it is so long w/out readme informations, that may explain these informations missing. You simply forgot. If I take my very first maps (they are on Worldspawn, not LvL, though), it also lacks these informations. And these maps look pretty silly :D If you search for maps by me on http://ws.q3df.org/ - you will see :D

You may have noticed -- mapperfapper updated packs based on my readme notice.

You're being fussy about nothing, CZghost. In the end, mapperfapper actually created and released maps. That's more than you can say.

Sooooooooooooooo...
pls calm down everyone. ;)
I was never involved in that gameworld that became "professional". world championships, sponsors, rules, standards.
To me creating maps is like playing with LEGO! The radiant is LEGO for grown ups, my opinion.
Extra cool LEGO to walk, jump, swim and fly through.

All this standardisation,commercialisation is killing creativity and fun. I dont give a fuck for fame.
The radiant and Quake can be illiberal officialism or an inspiring laboratory and madhouse.
I prefer the second aspect.
Some people paint pictures. I do maps. Less fighting arenas, than surreal worlds.

relax and enjoy.
