The Undergate

[Baker]

What Garrison is it? I think there are 2 or 3 maps with that name.

I had downloaded it from FilePlanet from this link:

http://www.fileplanet.com/dl.aspx?/u...d/garrison.zip

And if I recall correctly, it didn't have a readme.txt. I believe the map was made by Biff_Debris (I think that's what it says in the map title when you play it -- not 100% certain at the moment).

It was on underworldfan's recommended maps page under Industrial Base. Maybe the link /file is the wrong map or maybe it is supposed to be used with a mod (? Guessing?)

[Spirit]

Ah, that one. Nah, Biff is a better mapper I think
That garrison.bsp is from http://www.quaddicted.com/filebase/mymap.zip
It is the second map in this "pack" and you should have better weapons.

Just let me know when you need my help for version 2...

[Bauul]

Ok thanks
I wait for the next version

[Baker]

Ok thanks
You can't replace Garrison for an another map, in the next version of Undergate ?

I'm not sure what I'll do. I might do that -- OR -- I might make a slight change to the QuakeC to cause a nail gun to exist somewhere on the map, probably somewhat near the end of the map.

I thought the Garrison map was a good map, and like you, I tried my best to finish the map with only the shotgun back in November or so (VERY HARD) only to fail at the end (since that's a ridiculously difficult task).

There are nails all over the map, I figure a nail gun about 2/3 thru the map would fix the issue and with QuakeC, you don't have to actually change the map to add a nail gun -- so the author's map does not need to be altered.

Holy snap.

My status bar doesn't show up when I run it through any version (Can't see health, weapons, etc.). How do I solve this?

console type --> viewsize 100

Sounds like you hit the + key

You should play some hardcore metal music right when you go into the level to raise the adrenaline

Just trying to illustrate what it is and how it works, like an educational video.

What is that "water" rectangle near the difficulty settings for that says something like "will be used in the future" for?

It might be used in the future for 1 one of several things:

1. Maybe a teleporter to a second Undergate style map.

2. Maybe a teleporter to a selector for the ID maps.

3. Maybe a teleporter to connect to an online coop server

A lot of possibilities. I don't know. It depends on what the future holds.

It technically is water, because it's a lava texture that's been renamed to make the engine think that it's a water texture (so that it doesn't hurt you if you walk through it)

Hey guys, back after many games on some wads for Doom2

It might be used in the future for 1 one of several things:

1. Maybe a teleporter to a second Undergate style map.

2. Maybe a teleporter to a selector for the ID maps.

3. Maybe a teleporter to connect to an online coop server

A lot of possibilities. I don't know. It depends on what the future holds.

4. Maybe a teleporter to a selector for Mission Paks like Insomnia or Contract Revoked (if it's technically possible) ?

5. Maybe a teleporter to a selector for maps like Once Upon Atrocity or The Marcher Fortress ?

Be the Quad with you Baker, the Undergate is my favorite "pak", because I'm a regular browser of the Underworldfan's website

Sometime I need to update this to fix a couple of the small flaws (RPGSMSE, add a couple of weapons to Garrison via QuakeC). It's easy enough to do.

4. Maybe a teleporter to a selector for Mission Paks like Insomnia or Contract Revoked (if it's technically possible) ?

It's not technically possible.

Well --- RocketGuy helped me with a sneaky way I can make that technically possible, but it would only work with JoeQuake and Qrack to my knowledge (and possibly FitzQuake).

I have been considering an "Undergate" with Gamedir switching capability (client specific, unfortunately) that would support this ... but I would have no way to cause the gamedir mods to return to the start map upon completion.

I have made something far more interesting (and not engine specific) ... a universal mod installer/launcher that turns all the b.s. into seamless newbie friendly bliss. I personally use it, heheh

But like a raccoon that is distracted by shiny objects, something else tends to catch my eye and I often jump from project to project.

Needless to say, my ultimate goal is nothing short of point and click "do anything" in Quake newbie friendliness and I do use the Undergate a hell of a lot
