As promised, is delivered. My medium sized space/tourney map has turned into a small space tourney map pack! 

It contains two maps that structure wise are the same, but the way that they differ is in textures. Koolspace1.bsp has been made using only the standard quake II textures. and Koolspace2.bsp is done using only user created textures, in some cases making these maps look totally different. head over to the maps page to check it out.

Both are heavily influenced by quake 3 arena space maps. but 1 is much more "bland" due to quake 2's fairly shabby textures,

Shhh!, can you hear that??,..... No? neither can I, so back to the update.  I'm working. Consistently. on a map for Quake II or III, I don't know yet what game I'll make it for. Its a medium sized space/tourney style map that will have a metal based texture set. Maybe even one of the L337 metal texture sets from HFX. I'm thinking to make it for Quake II due to the low compile times and ease of the editor. Quake III takes ages to compile and making space maps in UT takes ages and is so hard!

Any mappers out there whom would like to help in making an Awesome Quake II map? it would be one of those maps where one person designs half and the other person designs the other half, then the first person builds the second persons half and vice versa, I'm hoping to make it extremely well and have it in either Gothic or Industrial/Tech style theme.

Ok that's all bye!

Ok people, today I am happy to say that this site will now be the home to 2 mappers. Phreaker creates Unreal Tournament levels and his works will be hosted here, no maps of his are currently on site but there is a brilliant UT Tactical Ops map coming soon. I also am going back to UT mapping as my slow PC doesn't seem to compile Quake III maps in less than 17Hrs, and frankly, I can't be bothered! Phreaker and I will also do a few combined efforts where I might design the map on paper, and he will build the map.

Still looking for Pics of the day people, I cant continiously provide the pics, sure i have a few good shots on my hard drive but damn! im sure you people have better PCs than me and can get much better image quality! so get out there and get some pics!

By the by, check out this link if you don't have UT tactical ops. you'll love it

Ah yes, next new site design, its sad that I'm doing so many designs but because of my new host, I can now use frames and also not annoy people with banners and pop-ups all over the place, I figure that you, the user of the site are the most important part of my projects, without you people downloading my maps they're basically useless, so this design is staying now and if u don't like it, then get over it. This new design is mostly just to get back at Mental Roadkill for his now, wicked site design, and his ever growing counter....

I have started Q3 mapping, it is much harder than Q2 mapping, but it will hopefully draw a better crowd, and maybe even some important people for better hosts... (This Means PlanetQuake.com) anyway I better let all u people look around and see if u like the new design, until the next update,
