There are plenty of issues with the map currently. I have a lot on my todo list for this map, so plenty of the issues you will encounter on this map are already known. I would like feedback, comments, criticism, tips, etc. on how to improve this.

I have reference shots of the original Quake map here.


What Still Needs Fixed/Implemented:

• Behemoths do not fit well anywhere except in the main bases
• Bots do not really use the underwater passage
• Bots get stuck in the water at the middle
• Optimize bot paths more
• Hidden door lighting needs blended more
• Lighting and shadows need tweaked
• Blue/Red Flag dynamic light leaks into hidden room underneath
• Underwater tunnels need a better material and material alignment
• Lightmaps for everything, except static meshes, are set to 16.0
• Lightmaps need optimized
• Create a flythrough
• Adjust audio reverb per room
• Find a way to disable portal exit sound
• Some of the music tracks will play, but eventually all music will stop playing altogether--even with the concurrent count set to 999
• Crates in lower-level of blue base still have red emissive glow
• Bots are retarded in Greed mode

History:

Beta 2 (2009 April 15):

• Added blocking along base walls
• Added more lights on the stairs
• Replaced jump pads with lifts
• Added doors for the hidden areas
• Added static mesh tiles to the Link Gun platform
• Shrunk the platform width that the Bio Rifle sits on
• Removed partial floor brush in the base and extended the large brush to cover it (Hopefully this removes the white line that appeared before)
• The music plays but there are issues; see below
• Fixed various texture alignment issues
• Optimized the bot paths some
• Adjusted color of the water to reflect the blue tint when underwater
• Shrunk almost all overhead lamps to 0.5
• Since the level is subtractive, I shrunk the outside brush to the level size
• Extended blocking brushes at both base entrances to prevent behemoth from roaming freely
• Added map preview image
• Added translocator paths to help bots find alternative routes to places

Beta 1 (2009 April 12):

• Initial Release

Feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
