REoL TOUGH: Total War! A new level to play with, for Quake II! Level Design by George J. Fiffy II. HTML FORMAT! MAKES EVERYTHING EASIER AGAIN! Also note, some parts of this document WILL NOT WORK if you're not connected to the 'net. THIS DOESN'T AFFECT THE ENTIRE DOCUMENTATION! Quake II is (c)1998 id Software. All rights reserved. If you're trying this with the Test Version, IT WON'T WORK! JUST BUY THE WHOLE GAME! Trust me, it's worth more than what you pay. :) Will work with ANY version of REGISTERED Quake II (Used 3.05). Since REoL TOUGH is an International favorite everywhere (whatever), and some people complain about the way things are typed, Here are some things you'll need to know: * This doc is typed using US English, and bad grammar/spelling. :) * Things IN CAPS highlight important info, among other things. |

(1) Put the level in your C:\QUAKE2\BASEQ2\MAPS directory. If you don't have that directory, make it. Maps won't run without it. (2) Start a game of Quake II as normal. (3) As the game starts up, hit ESC. Now you'll see the Quake Option Menu. (4) Hit the ~ key and enter a SKILL level, by entering SKILL X. X is the skill you want: 0 for EASY, 1 for NORMAL, and 2 for HARD. Skip the SKILL process if you're starting on NORMAL Skill, and go to Step 5. (5) Now, enter MAP RT5YEARS and LEAVE OFF THE.BSP EXTENTION! Enjoy! Supports Single Play, and up to 4 in Multiplayer and 8 in Deathmatch. 16 was just overwhelming for REoL TOUGH fans playing these levels of the Quake Generation. :) I also learned Quake II doesn't do more than 4 in Multiplayer. SORRY, NO CTF SUPPORT! Get a BSP TO MAP CONVERTER and put them in if you want it. No knowledge of this game variation whatsoever. :( (C)1998 REoL TOUGH. Modify map as you may, as long as credit for the orriginal work is given to yours truly. |

This is how it all started in May of 1994, with a copy of DooM, and an editor called DEU. Trying to make a level, attempts failed, until a very large, round arena was made. It had tougher monsters put in, but it was impossible to do. Walls were later put in, but they were horribly out of line, and corners overlapped, or didn't meet at all. In other words, the first REoL TOUGH map made (then known as Total War) was released in June that year, and was a total disaster. That was about 5 years ago, and to celebrate the 5'th anniversary of REoL TOUGH, a recreation of the very first level ever made for DooM, but done for Quake II. Unlike the orriginal, some walls were made larger and areas increased or decreased in size to keep refresh rates up a bit. The same lack of attention to detail was recreated, like the poorly joined walls, gaps, overlaps, crooked seams, and even the non-functioning sky testures on the walls were recreated. This is not meant to be a highly rated map, or to get even half-decent ones at that, but just a way to reflect back to that summer 5 years ago. |
