The infamous "A Jump Into The Insanity Pit"

Was browsing old downloads folder and found this.
Makes me feel nostalia :) 

UT2003 DM map, not to bad, not to bad at all, well worth a look if your that way inclined. Gets good review/comments (not that that means much, I know, but.) Looks sweet, runs and plays fine as well. I like it, thought some others may also, then again you may not.

I nearly shreaked with horror when I found that I couldn't enlarge those screenshots. But then I found that one lower down that I could enlarge, and I was mildly satisfied.

Pretty map and a neat theme. 

bloody good job this : http://www.quake3world.com/ubb/Forum6/HTML/025966.html?

Nice details, extremely moody yet visible lighting, smooth framerate and pretty good gameplay. 

Sexy. 

Something deviant from the sound of it... 

Yeah, thats fantastic, very nice one eye, and much fun to play. luv it!! 

"very nice on the eye" 

 

i was going to say that reading through that thread was very interesting, thanks Speedy. They don't make 'em like they used to, etc, etc.

(Those maps both looked nice too, but gameplay on that UT2K3 map may not have been so good) 

On the UT2003 map is definitely not as good as that on the Q3 map, but, by UT2003 standards, its certainly on the upside of down. 

and it's very very good. Could have tweaked items a little more but kickass none the less. 

That's a gorgeous UT2k3 map. Makes me wish I had a wicked fast computer to build stuff like that. (or just to play it!) 

What is the engine of choice for the 'old skoolers' here? 

What is the engine of choice for the 'old skoolers' here? 

I use FitzQuake: http://www.celephais.net/fitzquake/ 

i still use vanilla glquake.

Although I use the previous version, I only use it for the smoke trails/weapons effects and because it fixes up that Glquake water prob. 

FitzQuake is the best one I've seen so far. How about WinQuake? How does it do in terms of performance/image quality in high resolutions, providing you have a decent machine? 

another map you ut2k3 peeps may want to check out is Ulukai's latest DM one : http://planetunreal.com/ulukai/main.htm

(scroll own the page for 2 screenies)

He's made excellent stuff in the past so this would be decent at best, and it does look pretty if nothing else. 

Yes, another nice UT2 map, released, recently, just something about it bugged me. Glad DM-Aristocracy came along soon after, similar thing going on, but done much better IMO. 

ToChris is currently in the lead for me with the freelook option, skyboxes and crosshairs.

Tyr-Quake is still pretty much a better WinQuake, with more choice of windowed resolutions.

/me waits for Mindcrime's software Nehahra engine 

more chance of bal3dm5 being released than software nehahra I'm afraid. 

I tested a version of software Nehahra with Mindcrime. It was just a modified progs.dat which worked with any software engine. I suppose it worked with other GL engines, too, but there's not really a need for that. Anyway, he's not an engine coder, so if software Nehahra needs a new engine, it's going to have to be coded by someone else.

I suppose you could e-mail Mind and ask him what the status is. 

"On the UT2003 map is definitely not as good as that on the Q3 map, but, by UT2003 standards, its certainly on the upside of down."

After further playing time, I'd say that if the UT2003 style play can float your boat, than you'd have to own this map. It is an absolute pleasure to dwell in there for a time.
