Description:

I made 14 race maps from scratch. I also converted 6 boris maps from quake defrag with permission from Boris.

These maps were made ideally for CPM\spinmod, but some of them may work OK for vq3 as well.

The maps are: acrobat-redhallways, acrobat-redhallways2, acrobat-redhallways3, acrobat-greenhallways, acrobat-greenhallways2.

acrobat-greenhallways3, Acrobat-Blackhallways, Acrobat-Blackhallways2, acrobat-metal, acrobat-bridges, acrobat-dash,

acrobat-dash2, boris_daytime, boris_nighttime, boris_torture1, boris_torture2, boris_torture3, boris_torture4.

Note there are trigger multiples are the start and end of each race course for modders to use.

Credits:

The vast majority of the textures are ones I made from scratch in my previous maps.

I converted the Boris maps from Quake III Defrag with permission from Boris. His maps can be found here:

Loda converted boris_daytime, and bk helped with spacing on that one.

I used a skybox for map acrobat-yellowrace2 called DarkLand that is avaialble for use at this website:

http://www.redsorceress.com/skybox.html

Loda and BK made the basic spacing the strafe pads distancing, although I modified it,

and they made the "crete" textures."

The texture called "atl_wood" is Szico's Atlantica (got permission)

Physics notes: Some of the maps have yslaramis. If modders are around they can remap as follows.

In addition, if modders want to ad vertical overbounces (easybounce in twimod) they can do as follows:

Remapping the Ysalamiri:

{

"classname" "trigger_always"

"targetShaderName" "powerups/ysalimarishell"

"targetShaderNewName" "clear"

}

EasyBounce:

In "bg_pmove.c" at the bottom of "static void PM_CrashLand( void ) {" add:

//[boy] - Bounce!

if ( easyBounce.integer == 1 || (easyBounce.integer == 2 && pm->ps->fd.forceJumpZStart > pm->ps->origin[2]) )

{

vec3_t velocity;

float speed;

VectorCopy(pm->ps->velocity, velocity);

velocity[2] = 0;

speed = VectorLength(velocity);

if ( speed < 1 )

{ //Nearly 0 speed...

pm->ps->velocity[2] = -vel;

}

}

//[/boy] - Bounce!

As for the trigger_multiples for timers, I tried to make sure trigger #1 was at start and trigger #2 was

at the end. There are a few exceptions in this map pack though which are as follows:

Acrobat-greenhallways (#2 and #1)

boris_torture (#10 and #11)
