As I said earlier, I would love to look at Crescent, but I started a new map in 2015 and I want to finish that, but have so little time, sadly. I think the new map might be done in 2022-2023 and then I can look at Crescent or Industrial and have them done by 2025, perhaps haha. That's some timeline =)

I will look into Crescent and Inustrial, but I'm not sure if I will do that before or after I'm done with my new level. I'm also not sure how much work it will be, if I should just port them directly or if I need to do a greater graphical overhaul here... I will not change the layouts or the gameplay.

I think it's 550850908 (?)
I looked at the folder where it's stored... don't know if that's the number though.

This level may look like Rustgrad, but it plays very different, it's a much smaller map and plays best in 1v1 or perhaps FFA-3. The RA jump here is really fun when you play with your friends =)


Story:

This was almost speed mapping from my side, I entered Mavericks Summer Mapping Competition 2010 kinda late, so I wrapped up this layout very fast and applied the textures I had been developing for Rustgrad since 2009, that's why they look so similar.

I won the contest and I'm sure I donated the graphics card prize to the runner up, instead of having it shipped to Sweden - or maybe that was in another contest.

Rustgrad eventually developed in it's own direction with some different take on foliage a higher and more detailed overall look, some of those features has been applied to this QL version of Solitude, also added a rainshader and impacts, that were not present in the initial Q3 release.

Gameplay vise, the only change is the added GL and one ammo box for that one.
