Title: Can't remember map name
Post by: TRiLLeNNiuM on September 02, 2011, 01:46:32 PM
Hi all,

Last year i saw a really weird map and i wanna download it but i can't remember the name of it.
I'll describe how it looks, maybe someone knows.

It's a huge map with a city on one side and grass, water on the other side.
There is a train, a huge high pole with an elevator and cable cars...

Someone knows the name of that map???

Sounds a lot like a TargetQuake3 level, try checking maps specifically from the years 2000-2001 as mappers were novelty-driven back then so there's more creative stuff when you go older as there wasn't a "StopHavingFunGuys" point reached yet.

It reminds me of a Quake map I used to play.  It didn't have bot support, but was a really nice map...

I found some similar looking maps on http://lvlworld.com

Also this one: http://www.map-factory.org/quake-3/arena/danger-city-2-2100

What I think it is, however, is pILLCity: http://planetquake.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Quake3.Detail&id=1701

It just shows I've been playing Quake3 for WAY too long.

Searched under some servers, but no luck until now. Do you remember one?

There was once a very funny "rocket-rail"-server for it.

iirc this map is also on one of our god servers (should be the GoD|Rockets, but if needed, we can upload this map).
unfortunately you need many players for this map - otherwise it is some kind of seek and destroy...

Yes, GoD|Rockets has it (while God|RocketsAS not).

But it seems it is not the same version that is downloaded from the link posted before.
Pillcity.pk3 downloaded from here (http://planetquake.gamespy.com/View.php?view=Quake3.Detail&id=1701) is 12.568.604 bytes, while the one autodownloaded from that server is 12.628.626 bytes.

A little offtopic, but do you guys know mxl_school.pk3 (http://mxl.cz/q3maps)?

Some guy remodeled his school + surroundings and staged a ufo crash in front of the building. Not a super map to play, but great to walk through and admire the work (and find the awesome secrets). More than 66MB!

Be sure to watch the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrRwmvLNFGw) and see Nosferatu playing at the school cinema  >:D

Very cool map.  It would be neat if it had bot support, but I'm sure a map that size would be hard to put bot support in.

mxl_school's pretty kind of fun to play in Hunt's Save the Universe mode, same with Pill City (I get constant 140fps+ throughout btw)


mxl_school can't have AAS compiled due to MAX_MAPFILE_PLANES exceeded. Someone else should have better luck as I used a May 2001 BSPC


Title: Re: Can't remember map name
Post by: 7 on September 08, 2011, 10:42:52 AM
I get a lot of warnings and an "ERROR: Tried parent" with a freshly built bspc. Tried single threaded and multi threaded, breadth first and depth first, with and without optimizing... Any ideas?


Title: Re: Can't remember map name
Post by: TRiLLeNNiuM on September 09, 2011, 12:30:22 AM
I get the message coudn't load mxl_school.bsp
Is there something i'm doing wrong?

                  You have to set your com_hunkMegs at least
                  to 128 MB otherwise you won’t be able to load map.
                  You can do that by running game with parameters:

                  Example: quake3.exe +set com_hunkMegs 128

Changing quake3.exe to your openarena client of course.

Well, by changing the hunkmegs you can take a look on this:

RAM com_hunkmegs com_soundmegs com_zonemegs
--------------------------------------------------------------------
64MB, hunk: 56, sound: 8, zone: 16
128 MB, hunk: 64, sound: 16, zone: 24
256 MB, hunk: 128, sound: 16, zone: 24
512 MB, hunk: 256, sound: 32, zone: 32
1024 MB+ , hunk: 512, sound: 32, zone: 48

Looks like stuff for the "DO NOT LINK[/b]) h t t p s : / / openarena . wikia . com/wiki/Tweak]Tweak (http://([b)" page... what do you think about that?

Hey, i found this old thread on a internet search and tried to build a .aas for mxl_school:

http://openmafia.org/~thepanic/openarena/mxl_school-aas.pk3

theres only the .aas in the pk3 file. it works and i can add bots but they dont play quite well.  :)
