* LEVEL DESCRIPTION *
A one-track subway station with a 3-car train in the center.
This level requires Urban Terror (Urbanterror.net) to be experienced
properly, although you can load the map and run around in regular Q3A.
The terrorists used too much C4 when they blew open the gates and the SWAT team
roped down through the glass when the front door was probably unlocked.
* INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS *
1. First delete or move any previous versions of ut_subway (A-L or rc1-2) from your X:\quake3\q3ut2\ directory.
2. Extract ut_subway.ZIP and place ut_subway.PK3 in X:\quake3\q3ut2\
3. Load UT and in the console type: "map ut_subway"
Or, if you'd like to play w/ bots:
1. Load UT and make sure bots are enabled (type "bot_enable 1" in the console)
2. Select "start server" from the main menu.
3. Select your gametype (CTF, TDM, TS, etc.), then select "Subway" from the map list
4. Select the bots you want for each team and any other settings I've left out.
5. Hit "next", join a team after the map loads, and enjoy.
Or, check and see if this server is running the latest version: 129.2.168.2:27963

* OTHER LEVELS BY THE AUTHOR *
See my 20+ other releases at Planetquake.com
* SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS / ADDITIONAL INFORMATION *
If the level is too dark for you, try increasing your r_gamma setting to 1.3 or 1.4
Thanks to ydnar's new additions and improvements to q3map
(Shaderlab.com), vertex lighting mode in
ut_subway looks very similar to lightmap and no longer gives the level an appearance
of fullbright lighting. If it is too dark for your tastes, crank up r_gamma.
If you are using a 32mb graphics card and you experience excessive texture
thrashing, try raising your r_picmip setting to 1 and tweak other graphic
settings in the System menu.
If you have suggestions for future improvements to the map, don't hesitate to
let me know.
