Yes, just as I did for the test, I have released the first custom level


available for Quake sw. It is called Tele-X (telex.zip); you can find it


on ftp.cdrom.com or on my Quake page, Epicenter


(http://home.sprynet.com/sprynet/felker/epicentr.htm). Unlike my


first.bsp, Tele-X is a relatively detailed deathmatch level.



Unfortunately, so that ID is unable to enfore their demand that no levels


be released for the sw, I can only distribute the MAP file. The BSP


contains graphics owned by ID, so they can limit what I can do with it.


So you'll need to run QBSP and LIGHT on the level before you can play it,


but it's definitely worth the trouble. IMHO, it's much more fun for


deathmatch than any other level I've played in yet. With 3 or more


players, it's a huge fragfest!
