09/03/2003 14:55 #3 anonymous Esque here I started this cause I couldn't find a version of it for q3 anywhere looked for ages but found nothing...So started to learn q3rad :-) Please give link to other version... anonymous

10/03/2003 00:25 #4 anonymous There's actually a bunch of qw maps remade for q3 Here they are: http://mapcenter.gamersrevolt.com/classic.htm t00nsy

10/03/2003 00:28 #5 anonymous I think this ultrav version is really faithfull to the orignal but would need a map config for the items as the author had the silly idea to put a railgun which is really a nonsense imho. Just my 2 cents t00nsy

10/03/2003 01:08 #6 anonymous Esque again ic cheers.. There's some screenies up of test2, which doesn't look like crap :-) Rail was mentioned as a possibility, as 3 RLs in q3 would be a bit odd, but I though a railgun would cripple the map...I replaced GL with PG cause I thought the q3 GL is a spammers delight from that position. My intention was to recreate the layout of ultrav, and the greatness of its gameplay, but not a brush by brush exact remake. anonymous

10/03/2003 15:25 #7 anonymous I don't think ur version look like crap but it ain't faithfull to the original which isn't a problem. As for the gameplay, i think it's possible to have the qw gameplay back just by not using a railgun. The GL is imho a must be on this map, maybe replacing one RL with a PG would be a good idea, but i think other weapons are very well placed. If u play CPMA u can make what is called a map config which is only an item layout for a given map, it gives u the possibility not to have to compile your map 5 times (try /callvote map cpm16 then !cpm16a or !cpm16b to see what i'm talking about). [Excuse my english mistakes but i'm french} t00nsy

11/03/2003 12:07 #8 Osiris Phill Kerins posts : 72 What you really want to achieve from a conversion is a map that remains faithful to the gamplay dynamic rather than the map itself. I have played a few direct conversion which were simply recompiled q1 maps and they were far too confined for quake3 due to the larger size of the player model and the different movement.
