02/10/97 JANITOR1.TXT ================================================================ TITLE: "OUTPOST" - episode 1 of the trilogy... "The Janitors of Shadowland" ================================================================ PLEASE TAKE NOTE: * Even EXPERIENCED Quake level players should read the following sections. * Outpost sets the needle of the framerate-o-meter a quivering in a couple areas but you should be OK if you have a fairly decent system. * I got a bit carried away with the messages in the level, sorry 'bout that. ================================================================ Setting/story: "Outpost" starts with you in a dark, secluded area (after finding a hidden path around the locked maingate). Through the cleft in the cliffs you can just see the lightly garrisoned Outpost, barricading a seldom used access road to Shadowland. As you peer through the shadows a smirk crosses your lips........piece of cake ;) ================================================================ * A couple "Outpost" pre-posting reviews.. "Den's Den" - soon to be "Quake Map of the Week" "ONLY the Best" - 87 % ================================================================ Filename(s) : janitor1.zip containing... - janitor1.bsp [1,161 KB] - janitor1.txt - outhints.txt Description : Quake single player level Author : Neil Manke - neil@mail.netshop.net Thanks To: - Ben Morris for creating Worldcraft - Id Software, of course - Mark Wheeler, for very helpful advice on graphics - Johan Dupont (Matrix), for testing Outpost * Another special thanks to Gyro Gearloose for being patient & answering my many questions. ================================================================ * Play information * Single Player : Yes Coop/deathmatch : No (perhaps next episode) Difficulty Settings : Yes New sound/music/graphics: Yes - Several graphics from markswad.wad (@cd.rom.com) by Mark Wheeler - Even some graphics by me :) Base : New level from scratch Tools used : Worldcraft 1.0a, QBSP256b, MipDip, Newwad14, Paint Shop Pro, Light, Vis-ts Known Bugs/nonbugs *** There are none provided, nor should you use rockets in this level. If you do, you run the risk of setting off game events before their time. Also, see during testing just below. * Fish are in the game so the max kills are: 52/63 Difficult 38/46 Medium 24/29 Easy ** During testing a "move type_push error..." was experienced in 2 areas of the map if discharging powerful weapons. Most of the cause of such error was eliminated but I do not have the time, nor the will to get it all. If that error occurs with you (unlikely), just avoid shooting what you did & where you did.
