Thought you might be interested:



I've made a new free Quake utiltity that works great for deathmatch or


single player.



The Quake Level Combiner is a Windows95 program that gives you an easy way


to string your custom Quake levels together in any order and play them in


Quake. You don't have to type "map " to play your levels anymore!


It allows you to select the order of your levels and Quake will play them


one after another until the end, then will start over.



You simply run the program to create your patch and execute Quake with the


command "-game ", where is the name you gave your


collection of levels.



The program is compatible with your existing Quake C patches! If you are


using a Quake C patch already, you can use this program to modify your


"client.qc" file to add the level-changing feature.



Note: You also need Quake C and the qcc compiler to use this program. It


modifies the "client.qc" file, then makes the patch. See the included


"readme.txt" file for complete instructions. You don't need to download


this if you already have it.
