March 25, 1999 ======================================================================== * General Information * Title : Lush Filename : Lush.bsp Author : Hafhead (Tony Hafner) Email Address : hafhead@planetquake.com Web Page : http://www.geocities.com/~hafhead Additional Credits to : id Software for such a great game Ben Morris and Valve for Worldcraft Argh! for arghrad The guys of Team 3 for their input Ridah's Eraser Bots for easy test runs Bod of the Bot Emporium for the route file Description : Deathmatch Quake II Level This map is a sort of temple with some pretty wonky architecture. Feel free to offer your prayers to the Strogg gods, but I'd recommend using actions instead of words. Your attendance to all the weapon and powerup stations will be richly rewarded with the Railgun, Rocket Launcher, Grenade Launcher, two Super Shotguns, Quad, and Megahealth. There is also a smattering of ammo and health just laying around for the taking. Use them wisely and the gods will bless you with many frags. The temple is best worshipped by 2 to 4 mortals at one time. Even more than usual, I recommend playing with "weapons stay" turned on. A 2-player game would probably be OK without it, but even 1 more player and there wouldn't be enough to go around. ======================================================================== * Running the Map * Put Lush.bsp into your maps directory (Quake2\baseq2\maps). Run Quake2 and bring down the console (by pressing ~). At the console, type "map lush". The game will start. For multiplayer games, start the game first. Then bring down the console and enter the map command. Each player must have the .bsp file in his/her map directory. I've also included the .rtz file in this release. If you don't have the Eraser Bot, you can delete this file. If you do have it, drop lush.rtz into your Quake2\eraser\routes directory before starting the map with bots. ======================================================================== * Play Information * Single Player : Don't bother- there's nothing to kill Cooperative : No Deathmatch : Yes- 7 starts, best with 2 to 4 players Difficulty Settings : No New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : No Demos Replaced : None * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor(s) used : Worldcraft Known Bugs : None Build Time : 10 days total Compile machine : PII/333 with 64Mb Qbsp Time : 7 seconds Vis Time : 95 seconds Arghrad Time : 656 seconds extra, bounce 64, chopsky 16, choplight 16 * Copyright / Permissions * This level may be distributed only over the Internet and/or BBS systems.

It must be kept together with this text file intact. * Other Info * I aimed once again for a 1-on-1 sized level, and I think I hit it pretty well this time. It may seem a bit on the large size, but the connectivity makes for very quick surveys of the entire level. If all else fails, go to the GL room and pop grenades every direction until you hear the sound of pain. My last few maps were a big step up with connectivity and level flow, but weren't very architecturally interesting. This one is where I tried to repeat their smooth flow, but add in the pretty lighting of Solid Fuel, the kind of cool texturing I did in Stellar Cow, plus some rather fanciful architectural elements. ======================================================================== * Plug Section * For more info about Team 3, visit our site: http://www.planetquake.com/3 For more info about the Eraser Bot, visit Impact's site: http://impact.frag.com For routes and generally-useful bot info, visit the Bot Emporium: http://www.planetquake.com/emporium * Past Projects * For my projects, visit my personal website: http://www.geocities.com/~hafhead Quake II Levels: Stellar Cow Solid Fuel Warhouses (CTF level for TW2) Spawn of Anklebiter Dark and Silly Warhouse II LaGrange Pt 1 Starbase Quake Levels: Merry Fraggin' X-Mas Warhouses Retro (CTF) Blood Feud (CTF) 4 Boats Storm the Castle Anklebiter Quake Mission Pack 1 Level: Weightfulness Quake Patches: Dance!
