The info:

Three maps (one DM, one CTF, one Tourney). DM map is a remix of Q3DM6. CTF and Tourney are brand new maps. The CTF map is quite large, suitable for very large games.

Nice

Well done id/Raven.

- Solid 63 on dm6 with q4max.
- Railed is certainly an apt description of what the gameplay is going to be for tourney1.

Rail + 70 total armour?
- CTF looks nice as well, cant wait to play them.

Thanks guys. :]

Nice, looks good. However I dont know if it is a good option to remake all these maps from the previous Quakes. Because they seem to be remaking them very early on, basically Q4 just got released. Dont they have any other fresh ideas?

Post by **xchaser** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 9:38 pm

riddla I am sure more to come, just look at what they called railed-tourney1. maybe tourney2,tourney3,tourney4..... id has not let us down.

I don't mean to be a buttmunch.. .really I don't. I'm a nice guy and these maps are GREAT! But.. Ummm.... We sure could use some MAJOR fixes more than new maps. Like the Downloading of custom maps and download redirection perhaps? :P

Yea Yea, I know, different folks doing the code fixes than the ones making maps but damnit... I need that fixed BADLY.

All that stuff (and more) is coming, I'm sorry I can't tell you anything more than that and that you'll just have to continue to be patient.

Post by **prince1000** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 4:04 am

there's some weird stuff going on with strafing off jumppad landings on dm6redux, jp to RG for instance, though you can immediately strafejump once you land from rl jumppad. also falling while strafing mid-air from bridge to mid-level = falling damage and no immediate strafejump.

was this intentional??

Holy cow. I actually got a response! That's all we've been looking for bro. Confirmation that these problems are definitely being fixed. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

hmm that's kind of bitter for o'dium (and everyone that is helping him out), now his q3dm6 remake won't quite have the punch it could have

Post by **iluvquake4** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 8:53 am

Silly people. Why did they distro it in .exe format?

Post by **Kypt** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 9:26 am

Thats exactly what I was going to say...jeez not everyone lives in Windows :/

Post by **jester!** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 6:21 pm

Second page or so on esr has just the pak. They put it in an exe because noobs need all the help they can get at this point.

Post by **alucardx** » Wed Dec 21, 2005 7:51 pm

also wanted to note.. it seems most purists don't like the q3dm6 remake because of item locations and certain jumps. i'm still at work and haven't had a chance to try it myself yet, but from what i read on ESR's comments page.. there's no ledges on the doorways to sit on, and the rail to bridge jump is either not possible, or only possible with some sort of crouch slide.
