Looking for an old Q3 map which was greyscale

Looking for an old Q3 map which was greyscale.

I remember there was a Q3 map where all the textures were greyscale and it included some greyscale character skins for the bots that it had set for it. It was pretty good. I asked in a mapping IRC channel before and no-one seemed to know about it. A forum post can get read by more people, though, so I'm asking it here :)

I think it used a little colour for the "electric effect" on some things, but that effect was primarily white.

I remember it had a mirror that you walked through and it was a teleporter, and it had a moving platform floating in the air elsewhere in the level (in approximately the middle, I think).

Anyway, it doesn't have to be just that map. Any Q3 map that uses all greyscale textures I'm interested in.

Thanks that is quite a good map aswell as being in greyscale :)
I'm still hoping someone knows the one I played before, though.

That's not what I meant, that's brown and cream cel-shaded. That's not greyscale.

There's one for Geocomp as well, but I don't remember the name or author.

:eek: That's what I call some impressive design!

That looks terrific.
The lack of colour really emphasizes the great design, imo.
Also makes colored opponents/items stand out, so fuck you picmip 10.
