File name changed. 2. Outside area changed, ladders to get out of water. 3. Back rooms were removed and redone. 4. Basement textures redone. 5. Added upgradable upgrades. Can upgrade the 2nd to 6th upgrades into more powerful versions if you take a gem to the alcove. * Other Info * This is a two team capture-the-flag type map. Each team has their own base, at opposite ends of the map. You must get inside the enemy base, and take their power gem. Then you return it to the stained glass room in your basement. Ordered Upgrade system: When you capture the enemy power gem, your base will upgrade. There are 7 upgrades, after that, you just get the normal 10 points for captures. Upgrade list at end of file. When you take a gem to an upgrade alcove, you will swap the gem for that upgrade. Also, everyone will get 5 frags. If you die, everyone loses 5 frags. If you capture it, everyone gets an additional 5 frags and the teamscore is increased by 10. You capture it at the same place you capture powergems, but you will not get an upgrade this way. If you wish to get the updates that I make by email, just email me with the subject: Castlez Map I will add you to the growing list, and notify you about changes I am making and servers that are playing this map. How to use this map: Copy the 2castlez.bsp file into your quake\id1\maps or quake\fortress\maps directory. Then run quake. In the console, type "map 2castlez" (without the quotes) If you want to play on a QW server running this map, copy the 2castlez.bsp file into your quake\qw\maps directory or into one of the directories above. It will work either way. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. ******************************* Upgrades ******************************* These are the upgrades in order. There are 7 upgrades. 1. Extra sniper areas. When you get this upgrade, a door will apper at the top of the ramp in the capture room. Through this door are 4 other "exits". The teleport in front leads to the front of the base, at ground level. The two side teleports lead to ledges in the room with the spike and the water. Shoot the panel in the floor to reveal the 4th teleport. This leads to the ledge on the side of the center of the map. 2. Hand grenades. A panel in the computer-room (opposite of your flag) will open to reveal a floating grenade. Step into the alcove to max out your special TF grenades. GEM POWERUP-Regenerating ammo 3. Medikits/Regeneration. The next panel in the computer room will open to reveal a Quake rune. When you grab it, your health is maxed out, and if you are a Medic, you will max out your medikits. GEM POWERUP-Regenerating health 4. Detpacks. The center panel is removed to show you a detpack. Grab this for a detpack. No effect if you are not a Demoman. GEM POWERUP-Regenerating Detpacks. 1 every 30 seconds 5. Mega Armor. This is one of the best upgrades. When you grab it, you will get armor that is resistant to all types of attacks. GEM POWERUP-Regenerating armour 6. Enchantment. Last computer room upgrade, this one looks like the Pentegram on a chain. Grab it, and random number of seconds later it goes off and you get Quad Damage and Invisibilty for 10 seconds. GEM POWERUP-Multiple enchantment periods. 1 every 30 seconds for 5 seconds. 7. Cannon. This cannon is mounted at the top of your castle. When a demoman comes up behind it, it is triggered, and anything in it's cone is blasted for 50 points of damage. Even your teammates, so be careful. There is a red light placed on the cannon. When you can see it, you can fire the cannon. That's it for the upgrades. If you would like to see me put in any other upgrades, mail me. * Changes from Castlez3 * 1. The two main supply packs now provide special armour. One is kevlar(bullets) and the other is wooden(nails). 2. Cannon can now harm players standing behind the opposing balcony wall. 3. Cannon now has a red button at the back. You can fire it when the button is out. 3. Two .mdl files introduced. Amulet.mdl is the Enchantment model and powergem.mdl is the new flag model. 4. Enchantment power-up changed. Now when you get it, it is a delayed item. After a random number of seconds, it activates and gives you Quad Damage and Invisibility for 10 seconds. You can get them every 20 seconds. 5. The center altar upstairs can now be det-packed. The advantage to this besides the 5 points is that the owner of the altar can not spawn there until the engineer repairs the altar with his wrench. The engineer also gets 5 points for repairing the altar. 6. New startup menu. 7. Ceilings above two of the bridges in each "spike" room are higher up. This prevents players from sometimes getting stuck on them and going into the water. 8. Lighting changed in some areas. Makes for a darker environment. 9. The center sniper pit no longer is invisible. This turned out to be unfair for others because they couldn't see the people in there. The two sniper ledges on the side remain the same. * Changes from Castlez2 * 1. All supply packs supply even more ammo; everyone was complaining. 2. Architecture changes 3. Added access to roof and basement from the two main spawn rooms. 4. Added water grate. Only team members can pass it. Or you must detpack it from below. 5. Elevator in basement moves faster. Much faster! 6. Cannon REALLY works. It also has a wider spread. Only a demoman can fire it. And please be careful, the cannon can kill your teammates. 7. Only snipers can open the door in the capture room. 8. Added textures * Changes from Castlez1 * 1. All supply packs now supply twice the nails; medics were complaining. 2. Took out some blocks, and changed the texture on triggers to cut down on lag, and on people running GL. 3. The cannon now works. It does not use grenades. Instead, a demoman just "shoots" it (he walks up to the back), and it fires a 50 damage shot that hurts anyone (even teammates) that are in the effect cone from the cannon mouth.
