A small level.  It's the first Quake level I've finished, despite editing the bloody

thing for nearly a year now.  All my other projects have fallen away, ie, I loose

interest, time or both.  So I sat down one day and restricted what I was going to do

to a small level - and here's the result.  It's not very big, it onlt has a few monsters,

but it looks great in Quake and georgeous in GL...  Oh, and it's also rather cool in DM.



Things you should know

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=



I've made a couple of Duke 3D levels in the past, and loved the way it could be set up

to blast holes in things.. and so this is what I've tried to bring into Quake.  However,

there's no explosions like in Duke 3D, so it doesn't look quite as good.  However, do

shoot the box to get the DB Shotgun, and in DM, try killing people with the spikes.



I've also watched the Quake Done Quick team at work and have designed the level with

them in mind - hopefully there's no rocket jumps that can be done to rip the level

totally apart... (as in E1M6 #:-)

Known Bugs	: QBSP reports 3 brushes with the same plane - and I can't find them.

		  Only possible one I can think of is that carve did something wrong

		  in the room with the silver key, but I can't see why it should have

		  (ie, it's never done anything wrong before).

		  Also, not really a bug, but the 'chair' to get to the switch is a door,

		  and hence has door properties (if you walk over it's path when it is

   		  trying to close it will open again).  The reason it's a door and not

		  a train is interesting - Quake wouldn't display it as a train, which

		  was strange.

		  Lastly, the train to take the player to the silver key is a bit dark

		  - I'll have to wait for real-time lighting to solve that one...
