Ultimate Map Collection (UMC)
« on: January 31, 2023, 12:17:34 PM »
Hey Ho!

There are 25 years worth of great level design out there lost in a sea of garbage maps. It's also a battle finding maps for a game with a diminishing online presence, with dead or archived links wherever you look. Once upon a time I started the concept of UMC, building a 'definitive' collection of maps. UMC attempts to conveniently gather most maps worth your time and enhance how you experience them. There are no doubt still dozens of maps worth adding, I barely touched on CTF or mission maps so far.

Features:
- roughly 500 maps, ranging from levels with redeeming qualities that deserve some recognition up to absolute masterpieces
- Gladiator bot support, some Eraser support
- fixed any missing textures/sounds issues
- removed unnecessary assets
- removed some annoying or loud ambient sounds
- added some subtle ambient sounds for a few maps
- fixed some entity bugs (ie: entity in solid, spawn point facing walls, etc.)
- intermission cams for all, work nicely up to 110 FOV
- levelshots
- arena files for KMQuake3
- consistent long map names
- author credits and readmes included
- some improved DM support in mission levels
- other minor improvements

The end goal was to have it all nicely tied up in a site similar in style to lvlworld.com, but one can only dream! There's still plenty of room for improvement and I'm open to any ideas or contributions from others.

This is great, thanks!

I've also been "working" on some kind of map collection website. Mostly just an index of the existing 3000+ maps available on the TS servers with searchable metadata (particular items, weapon counts, etc) and an intermission location screenshot. Nothing as in-detail as yours. One of these days I'll get around to finishing that.

good point. i was comtemplating replacing them with entity overrides because - as you said - it's only the entities that have changed. then again, i don't even know where the mod can be downloaded anymore... i definitely don't have it.

well, the mod is here:

http://q2cafefiles.com/files/index.php?dir=mods%2FAwaken%202

but if you want to count the people that play it, you can use the fingers of one hand ... given you miss some fingers.
