Description : Deathmatch Quake II Level

The main room is filled with catwalks and open to space above and below.

At the bottom, there is a big fan and a ventilation intake that ensures

your safety should you be careless enough to fall off. Around this room

you will find some smaller side rooms that are well-connected to each

other and to the center room. The level sports 2 Rocket Launchers, a

Railgun, a Hyperblaster, a Super Shotgun, and a Chaingun. Topping off

the heavy artillery is a Quad, conveniently placed under a lift tube so

that you can quickly jump back into the action. Defensive equipment

includes a Body Armor, a Jacket Armor, and a Megahealth. Ammo isn't

exactly overstocked, but there is enough to keep everyone equipped with

what they need.

Yeah, I know that a big fan open to space below makes no sense

whatsoever, but hey- it looks cool (at least I think so).

As usual, I strongly recommend playing with "weapons stay" turned on.

And a special thanks goes out to Bod ([email protected]) for doing the

route file with no prior notice. And for giving me a couple of hints on

what to do to make the map more bot-friendly.

========================================================================

* Running the Map *

Put Stellar.bsp into your maps directory (Quake2\baseq2\maps). Run

Quake2 and bring down the console (by pressing ~). At the console,

type "map stellar". 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

stellar.rtz into your Quake2\eraser\routes directory before starting the

map with bots.

* Other Info *

Like my last map, Solid Fuel, I was aiming for a level sized for 1-on-1

games. However, this time it ended up a little larger than I intended.

It is a touch on the large size for 2 players, but 3 is enough to see

some good action. It's large enough that it should take up to 6 or so

players comfortably. 8-10 players might even work, but that would be

pretty full.
