Description : Here is my *first* Quake II map...

It was specifically designed for GL Cards, like with

Diamond Monster 3D (Voodoo 3Dfx), without such a card

the level ill look plain indeed.

A previous version of this map ran under Quake.

I have completely reworked the map textures for

Quake II, added colored light sources and a "secret"

passage, better item and weapon placement. Overall

it's a bit darker than the Quake beta version.

Even though this is my first Quake I/II map, I have

built 6 other maps for Duke Nukem 3D, so I'm not a

complete newbie :) No thrills like teleporters, doors,

platforms or other gimicks used for 2 reasons: First

off most of these mess up the game flow (and I hate

that), second I haven't gotten into that just yet :)))

This map can be played on

AEon's Quake II: 131.220.96.124

(on Linux Server soon 131.220.96.41)

If you find anything really lacking or have some level

building tips for me don't hesitate to send in an email

:))

Additional Credits to : id, Mikey (QUAD) and some of the fluXes (M7, Atom,...)

for testing the Quake I/II beta version...

Build Time : 1.5 weeks under Quake I, 4-5 days to redo it for

this will be a lot faster to do... phew...)

Known Bugs : Central room, aligns textures weirdly, not sure what's

up here. (Texture choice M7 would say is a bug ;)

Even under vis "-level 4" there are "missing walls" in

the map if you run the level under non-GL...

so don't do that ;)

* How to use this level *

Make a "maps" directory in ../quake2/baseq2 and copy the level into it.

In Quake2, bring up the console and type in "map AEcyrena".

To start a deathmatch game either start it as usual and type "map AEcyrena" in

the server's console or start a multiplayer server from Quake 2 and type

"map AEcyrena" in the console.
