Altered DM Maps

[BizarroEvade]

Does it bother anyone else when playing DM FFA that maps such as DM1 have been altered to include weapons that aren't there in the original DM version of the map? DM1 is not supposed to have a friggin RL and that just ruins it completely.

[PapaSmurf]

No, because that level was boring as hell without an RL. As far as I know, that's the only map that's been altered, and it's only altered on CRMOD servers.

[=peg=]

funny this one.. i never even played dm1 on a non-crmod server.. so when i did for the first time i was like "where the hell is the RL!"

I always kind of enjoyed that level back in the day, it really levelled everyone out. Not having the RL/LG or any red armour makes things very different. I wouldn't want to play it every time I fire up Quake, but every now and then it's alright.

DM1 is fine the way it is. It's way too claustrophobic for a RL anyways Try to show your domination without the RL or LG

[BizarroEvade]

Cool. I'm glad there are some that agree with me. DM1 is the only map I can think of off the top of my head that has been changed around. It also makes it fun when players have a RL when there is a map change to DM1. Then its a struggle to keep control of the RL pak.

That's what ended up happening in the whitehot test on idsdms. Some people with LG and RL spawned in DM1 when I restarted the map. Then there was always a pack passing on between player to player which had the RL in it. I think that pack eventually fell in the lava

I'll be at least one player tried to get it out

Yeah, I always wished there was more of that, like a level with the SNG but no LG/RL. Over 6 DM maps (and 20 odd episode maps) they could have done a lot more for weapon variety.

11 years too late to start bitching I guess.

1 death in lava to locate the pack , then grab yellow or red armour,and snag it. 2ez. I've seen some crazy ass lava diving for packs in my time haha

[Senban]

I didn't know you could get out of that lava, I thought the wall was high enough to catch you (and the bottom too deep to get the pack), nice info. Won't be trying it on DM2 or DM4 though!

There's no RA in DM1 But yes, you could grab the YA and the Mega to grab the pack in the lava and still have around 100 health (0 armour) to fight. That lava pool is deep

There is a way to rl out of lava in dm4.

Pretty sure I've seen people doing it too. Is there an easily-explainable knack to it?

I have done it before, but I am not that good with rl jumping so it may be easier to others. Works the same way all those idiots RL jump out of water on dm3 to the lower bridge (making themselves and easy kill in the process). Can't test it now but I think you just swim up while facing the wall and then RL off the wall as you are bobbing out of the lava.

[PapaSmurf]

The DM4 lava jump is not the same mechanic as rl jumping out of DM3 water, at least not the way i do it. I actually have my back towards the bridge and while facing down I fire a rocket as i crest out of the lava. There was an old demo of Sujoy peforming this very trick.
