*** Q3A Deathmatch and Tourney maps to Capture the Flag ***

I am really suprised that someone else had not done this by now, I

have not seen anything like this posted on the major news sites yet.

So I decided to do it. Yes it was a big pain, and id probably

should have done this to begin with, but they didn't so here you go.

This is the first version so flag and itme placement might be off.

What you need to use this:

--------------------------

RETAIL version of Q3A.

Q3A Tools in the D:\quake3\tools dir (specifically q3map and bspc)

How to install/Get a server up quick:

-------------------------------------

1. Extract this ZIP to your quake dir (mine is D:\quake3).

You should now have D:\quake3\ctf\maps

2. UNZIP your original maps from pak0.pk3 into D:\quake3\ctf\maps

3. You should now have a bunch of files in the ctf/maps dir

D:\quake3\ctf\maps\q3dm*.bsp

D:\quake3\ctf\maps\q3tourney*.bsp

D:\quake3\ctf\maps\q3dm*.ent

and a couple .BAT files

4. RUN the ctfents.bat

5. When that is done it should open up notepad.

Check the document for any errors (you might have forgot to

extract a map or it might not find q3map.exe).

6. Run the file "all ctf maps single player.bat"

You should now be able to go to the menu and select

multiplayer->create->ctf and then any dm or tourney map

7. If you want to play single player with the bots you need to

run the other bat file called "ctfbots.bat"

This will take quite a while (between 30mins to over an hour)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

SIDENOTE: afaik you can't do entites like func_wall (in q1) or even

have working lasers (in q2) so I couldn't find a good way to block

doorways to direct the flow of the game. I tried doing several

entites but none were rendered with -onlyents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING: I take no responsibility for anything in this file or any

of the information contained in it. If you mess up your system its

your fault, not mine. Its just the standard disclaimer!

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Look for some nifty new things coming from me. I have a q1/q2->q3a

converter on the way, so if you have the cd for q1 or q2 you will

be able to play it under q3a! Its a blast playing oldschool ctf!
