Skyscraper

A 7 levels map pack for Quake 2. New graphics and new sounds for your enjoyment. Took place in a house and eventually, a skyscraper!!

***This map set would NOT function correctly in software mode. You must set

the video for Open GL. Therefore, like Quake 3, you must have a 3D

accelerator card installed in your computer.***

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

*Summary*

A house floats in mid-air with a surrounding force field whereas no

soldier can go in or get out. A new disciple of the Stroggos has taken

refugee in this house. He is possessed by the enemy, the Stroggos. He would

not give the "head" until his demands are made...

The Special Task Force (STF) comes in to clear things up....

*The Story after "GOT MILK?"*

Carmack: "Hello..."

You:

"You look 'terrible'..."

Carmack:

"Thanks... I feel terrible..

I like to thank

you for achieving my head..."

You: "No problem. Luckily, we have achieved the Stogg's technology to

reattach it."

Carmack: "How was it?"

You:

"It was like watching a bad Star Trek episode, 'Spock's

Brain.'"

Carmack: "Did you get the CD?"

You: "CD?"

Carmack: "That's what they were after. Apparently, they don't want me to

make that DOOM game.. since I kind've knew their secret weapon."

You: "Were you possessed?"

Carmack:

"Possibly. They accidently incorporated their plans into

my mind."

You: "Where is it?"

Carmack: "Must be at the convention."

You: "The SKYSCRAPER?"

Carmack: "Yes."

You: "It's well guarded and condemned."

Carmack: "Take the secret passage underneath the stairs. It used to be a

historical underground railroad for the slaves during the Civil

War. This would lead you to the SKYSCRAPER. And by all means,

get that CD."

You: "I will..."

New Graphics : Yes

* Construction *

Base : From scratch (By looking at the House and mind!)

Build Time : Way too damn long

Editor(s) used : retail version of qED (best one to understand!)

Found out about it when I bought the "Unoffical

QUAKE Level Design Handbook" written by Matt

Tagliaferri, SYBEX, Inc. (c) 1997.

Other Software(s) : Wally (Texture builder)

: qWAL (Pak organizer)

Known Bugs : The only bug I have found is shooting a grenade

on the top glass window of the back roof. You will

receive an error of an 'overflow'. Nothing will

explode like it suppose to do. And the windows

would not appear to be broken into.. but it has!!

You can enter these windows still even if the

textures are still there. I can't seem to find the

solution for this. Sorry.

: ***Special note*** Error in full compile, never

finish it at all?! Four maps, listed below, were

done -fast compile instead. This should not affect

the game in open GL but in software mode they would

* How to use this level *

Create a directory under your quake2 directory called skyscrap

(e.g. c:\quake2\skyscrap) and unzip Skyscrap.zip into this directory. WARNING:

DO NOT unzip the files into your baseq2 directory!

Run the game by entering e.g. "quake2 +game skyscrap +map intro +set skill 2"

at the command line (pressing ~).

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!!!

Thanks for downloading it.

P.S. If a door doesn't open, you must kill the enemy who has the ability to

open it. Even, if you don't see him but "hear" him. Try shooting grenades..
