lichtwärts (english: 'in light direction') is not built
as a really playable map but as a design study. when
i've tested the cel-shader fx, which was now possible
(thx 2 ydnar :), it blew me away - so i decided to
make a map with it. the map is highly inspired by
some screenshots from ydnar demonstrating the
cel-shader fx and charon's geocomp map.
as you may guess, the bots play pretty stupid in
this map (as if they won't always do ;). it was a
pain in the ass to get them even running.
the r_speeds are at 20k (doubled by the cel-shader fx)
so you may need a fast computer to play this map.
.installation:
make sure you have the quake III: arena point release
installed. for more information, visit quake3arena.com
unzip the pk3 file in your baseq3 folder.
run quake III arena and select single player then skirmish.
the map should appear somewhere on the list, usually at
the end.

I like the design on this one. It's interesting looking, particularly for Star Trek, but believable given the holodeck. :)
star trek ef is dead why even convert maps for it? a big waste
If you look at effiles.com you will find out that there is still activity. And converting maps for the community helps keeping it alive.
