(Which needs teamwork). Other Works : The DeadZone v1.0, Route32 (A 32 Player level for the QW32 level Project. Thanks to : The creators of Team Fortress, the creator of Quark (which in my opinion is the best Quake Level editor there is), and to ID Software, because without them, Quake wouldn't be here to edit. Extra Special Thanks to : [CG]Double_A, who provided the machine to do the compiling and the rest of the Clan Gangrene members for helping with some server testing. To be used with TEAM FORTRESS v2.5 or higher. http://www.planetquake.com/teamfortress Go to the Quake Army Knife HomePage and see why it's the Best: http://planetquake.com/quark ============================================================================= * Play Information * Single Player : If you want to look around.

New Graphics : Yes, two skins (one blue, one red) for the pack.mdl New Models : Yes, It's actually just the backpack model with two new skins, and renammed pack.mdl. New Demos : Nope. * Construction * Base : The DeadZone v1.0 (DZone) Editor(s) used : Quake Army Knife 3.1 Known Bugs : None that I know of. Build Time : I don't know, maybe 20 - 30 hours. Texture Wad Used : The one that came with Quark, the CTF4.0 wad. Compile machine : Pentiun 200 128M Ram QBSP, Light, Vis Time : Around 30 minutes. Brushes : Around 1600 Entities : Around 400 Models : Around 70 * Objective * The objective is fairly simple, you run to the enemy base, get down to the lower levels (by using the underwater teleporter) and steal their flag. Then you run back over to your base and down to the lower levels and bring it back to where your flag was. Your flag doesn't have to be there, you just have to bring the flag to the general area around where your flag was, simple huh? I also added another aspect to this map, I made a storeroom on the first lower level. In this storeroom are boxes, and a demoman has to set a detpack to blow the boxes up and the team scores 5 points. But the trick is, the demoman can't open the door himself, but any other player can and has to open the door for the demoman. I added this to promote teamplay, now a team of people have to rush the base and survive to allow the demoman to set the pack and get out of the room to get the five points. One last thing added to this map is that each team has two special rooms. One of these rooms is marked by a cross, and this is the medics room. In this room he can heal the entire team. The other room is marked by a hammer, and this is the engineers room. In this room he can give armor to the entire team. Both healing and protecting can be used once every 45 seconds. * Other Info * After making the first DeadZone, I took a break from making TF levels and joined on with the QW32 level project and that took a big chunk of my time. Then I almost completed a level for a TC, but dropped that. I didn't make another level for a month or so, and after seeing the popularity of the first DeadZone (which is #2 in the Top Ten at Kraq's when I wrote this txt file) I decided it was time to spruce the level up and expand the size. As you can see, this level has around 3 times as many brushes, which means it's more detailed, but still not lagged. * Comments * This will be my 2nd attempt at a Team Fortress level, and my 3rd level made overall. This will also be the last CTF Style map I'm going to make for Team Fortress, because you can do so much more with TF then capture the flag, and I have some ideas, but that's all I'll say for know. Also, if anyone finds any bugs, please report them to me and I'll see what I can do.
