"Strip" by Adam "SolarFlux" Kopcinski ================================================== GENERAL AND IMPORTANT INFO SECTION ================================================== Description: |The "world famous" Crazy Horse |strip club, located in San |Fransisco, California --------------------------------------------- Mapper: |Adam "SolarFlux" Kopcinski | Mapper Mail: |gem1@gte.net | Mapper page: |http://home1.gte.net/gem1/ |(Truly a great site) | Mapper Moto: |"To maximize performance, |minimize distortion"***(also |known as the Kopcinski |theory)*** --------------------------------------------- Compile Machine:|Pentium III, 96 megs of ram |2.8 gigger HD | Map Base: |No ripping off maps here | Qsb3 Time: |Less Time than it takes me |to wipe my arse. | Qvis3 Time: |More time than it takes me |to wax my "bikini zone." | Qrad3 TIme: |About the same amount of time |It takes me to wax my "bikini |zone" while wiping my arse. ================================================== USELESS INFO ================================================== Deathmatch: |You betcha' 1-8 (might get crowded) | Teamplay: |You better beleive it | Single Player: |Spawn yourself crazy | Cooperative: |What in the hell? Play Duke3d for |that kinda stuff ;-) (its on |my hardrive, mail me and well |get something goin') | Brushes: |paint brushes, hair brushes, oh |shyt, nevermind. | R-speeds: |Tried to keep em' low by placing |unneccessary brushes.... | Software Mode: |Use the textures in the "softext |zip. Alot of the textures are |transparent and wont work in Gl. |Unzipping the tex in the softext |zipfile into c:\quake2\action\ |will fix this. No colored lighting |bland and boring. Buy a video card like the rest of the world. ==================================================== EVEN MORE USELESS INFO ==================================================== New Textures: |Yes!!! Most of em were slapped in |by me. 1 texture from the "rhcity" |directory that i modded (modvent). Also |a normal quake2 texture(c_met5). 1 tex |from duel (glass). Some modded quake2's. | New Sounds: |a couple ambient sounds from some |free sound site. The music towards |the entrance is from Dimitri From Paris' |Sacreblue album, in stores now! | New Other poop: |Nothing you need to know about | Does the product|More than anything else i have done. reflect my |I did some neat-o textures. I would have Initial Vision? |liked to work on the outside area a |bit more but my ass was in a vice to get |it done in time for the "picture this" |map contest. | Build Time: |3 or so days of continous worldcraft |racing against time, lots of time in |wally and paint shop pro, and some |work induced dreams. | Bugs: |I guess the r_speeds are a little |high but i have found that if you |use a dial up modem the polly count |is the least of your troubles... |...besides, there not 1,000 |everywhere like in Action Halflife maps. |Your best bet is to play it on a Lan. |Some clipping problems. ==================================================== Legal Mumbo Jumbo ==================================================== You may not use this map as a base, if you do you may find yourself sleeping with the fishes. You may not distribute this map in any form, electronic or other- wise, unless this text document is included and the zip file remains intact AND permission has either been given or implied by me. If you do, you may find yourself waking with the donkeys. You may use the textures for other Action Quake maps, but if you do just remember that your map may be labled as "just another strip map." ===================================================== Tips ===================================================== This stuffs pretty much for new mappers, and consists mostly of stuff I had to figure out. * Use detail brushes every so often, it will save on your friggin' vis time. Oh yeah. *If you compile your map alot to see how it looks, you can cut qrad3 time by using the -chop XX command, were chop XX is the number you want to use. I use 128. The lower the number, the faster the Qrad, but the lower the quality. Max patches end at -chop 16, I think. * You don't need much ram, just enough room on your HardDrive for the swap file (qrad3) * Add more detail with textures. Do't try to make everything out of brushes. (r_speeds) * forget prefabs, do your own stuff. It will make your level more unique. * Try and build from reality. All your stuff will look more realistic. * If you use gigantic sized textures and then scale them, they will look sharper, even in glide. However, the engine can only map so much and in software mode it might slow the game to turtle crawl speed. Use wisely. * If you do colored lighting, make sure you tell the compile programs were your textures are, or else move them to someplace were it can find them. * Also if you do colored lighting, use a -bounce 1 or -bounce 0 in the qrad command line. Otherwise, sum stuff will be too colored and you'll get visual colored artifacts. ===================================================== Pimpin' Section ===================================================== To expand your mind, listen to these matter bloated bands: Propellerheads (Who got the props?) Bentley Rythum Ace (Bom Bom Diddley Bom) Esthero (We didn't have to kill her...) Dimitri From Paris (Sacrebleu!) Moby (Here we are now, going to the southside...) Jungle Brothers (down with the jbeez?) ===================================================== Quotes ===================================================== "Until you die its all just life, so make the most of it." - from the movie BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS "Pop culture isn't the devil, it just boring, most of the time." - Moby "The world could stand to lose a few a**holes. Unfortunatley, we all have one." - Adam Kopcinski ====================================================== Props ====================================================== Thanks to all the people who have made Action Maps. More specifically, thanks to those who showed us that Action meant more than cities and canyons. I'd also like to thank the guys at the AQMD for not releasing everymap that comes thier way. This probably improves the quality of the mod or something. ***begin ass kissing*** WetWired, Scuzzy, Mexican Radio, for making and breaking quality standards. A special exclusive thanks go out to some of the starlets that inspired this map. Specifically Raylene and Jenna... -Dedicated to Dinah, though we shall never speak- (damn, I used this quote im my last readme and still haven't spoken.) THE END
