New Map added: 27.02.09
After looking through maps which has been released for Quake 4 we realized that most of them where really bad optimized even the FPS ones. So these releases are made from the original quake 4 versions or the FPS version of the current maps which has been optimized as good as possible along with re-doing of lightings.
Many have asked why it's seperat files and not a mappack and the reasons are these:
- If you have a mappack that is 70 mb big, alter 1 map you have to re-download 70mb which is kinda stupid and takes along time
- Second if you don't want every map on your server you got a problem, either you have to make a new pack or upload the 70 mb without using more then 2-3 maps which also is stupid.
So then every release is done in seperate files. Every map has a performance benefit else there wouldn't be a reason for these releases. Also the maps support the
ACTF mode.
The world editing is done by
wata_ and performance testing/texturing is done by
zhakal.
