UT converted Quake 3 Arena maps

[War_Master]

I remember seeing Quake 3 maps years ago but I can't find any of them at all. Does anyone here know of links that will direct me to a good mappack of Q3a maps or can you at least write links to a download of each map possible you've found?

Another thing, I dont know the names of the maps in Quake 3 since I havent played it for so many years.

I appreciate your help. TY.

Iirc there's are several remakes on that site for the following levels:

morpheus, lavagiant (watergiant in this case), curse, morbias, facing worlds.

Morpheus remake is weird. Watergiant isn't bad, and it's huge. Curse was also a very true remake. Morbias I can't remember. Face was pathetic (imho).

Also, this was an interesting project. I followed progress on this for several years, unfortunately ID pulled the plug...

Unreal arena

Yes, those are quake3 map shots...

I miss deja-review, so much of those converted maps from and for several games...

I do

I have several maps that were considered to be maps based on Quake II or Quake III. I have both versions of these Quake games but never really got in to them being I started with UT first and have never been able to shake the idea that it is simply the best FPS game ever! I took a look at the readme files with the versions of these maps I downloaded. They list a name for each of the maps which may or may not be the same name of the map they are supposed to be converts of. Here is a list of the names of the maps I have:

DM-TheEdge
DM-Tokay's Towers
DM-The Frag Pipe
DM-Q2DM6
DM-The Warehouse

While getting this list for you it seems that I have determined that these are all Quake II map conversions. Let me know if you want them anyways. I'll send them to you if you want. Good luck.

 

[War_Master]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. What I meant was... I'm looking for Quake2/Quake3 maps or any map related on the Quake series that have been converted to UnrealTournament (UT99/UT1) or any map that uses the Quake textures.

Herms, thanks in advanced bro... you never fail. If you still have my Email and/or MSN, send them to me if you will please. Or, look me up in msn on the weekend. I'm PMing you my Email anyways.

So you all know, I'm collecting all the Quake stuff because I want to run a UT server related to Quake for the reason that I'm trying to convert the Quake weapons for UT since I dont find any Quake3 weapon mods. That makes me wonder why hasnt anyone made the Q3a weapons to UT when it seems very easy to do... or is it a copyright thing?

This curse was good also, hard to find, that is for Q3:

Also some other map remake this time from doom master levels/final doom on ps http://immortal.planetquake.gamespy.com/vesperas/vesperas.html
But it's close to original. The original doom map was created by John Anderson, one of the former Unreal mappers, who then left the team and his levels didn't make it to final version.

Dm-thewarehouse ->
If I'm not mistaken, and I hope so there's another and better version simply called dm-q2dm8.

Dm-q3dm2
Dm-arenagate (wide open map. Best version of Q3DM1) There's also a more cramped version, but it isn't worth bothering with.
Dm-Q3Dm7 has been converted a couple of times. The one on nalicity was pretty decent.
Dm-Q3DM17: There's a true remake called "dm-longestyard", but bots never really knew how to use jumppads correctly in UT, do they..


The Tokay's towers conversion was pretty good iirc.

I got most maps from either deja review, or Nalicity.

Maybe you can find some on BU fileworks, or mapraider/Unreal playground.

I have quite a few UT maps which use QUAKE3 texture sets, I'll make a small list and update this post.

- As-golgotha
- Dm-empowered ]|[
- DM-1on1_Dante_s_PlayGround
- Dm (ctf) titania][
- Dm-nalitemple
- Dm-Brutality (thanks for reminding Fieldmedic ;-)...

You can check the "ut maps - community best suggested" thread for more...

Mutator which uses UT modified weapons (and physics) which act (but don't really look) "similar" to the Q3 counterparts:

Hey War_Master, I just tried to email what I had. I used an old hotmail addy I had for you. If you don't get it, go to www.hermskii.com and use the contact me link and send me your best email addy. CYA!

I have some fond memories of DM_Brutality][ using that set of quake texture i think, one of my favorite fast botmatches map in its time.

Oh and after checking the best map thread, whatever happened to Nalicity ? all the links are now pointing to the nalic city board and not to the maps themselves anymore ?

This thread will need a big updating to fix those links if Nalicity will never be back to the map website it used to be and is only a forum.

 

[Leo(T.C.K.)]

Nalicity's gone. Only boards remained. You can find the maps at beyondunreal fileworks though. But without descriptions and reviews etc.

 

[NeoNite]

Nalicity isn't gone. It's down, for now. Who knows when it'll resurface. I've no idea.

I kinda miss the old furpile (UTCMS) website. You could find tons of stuff there. And I mean tons.

More Q3 themed maps on mapraider

 

[War_Master]

Thanks for the findings and links guys.

I havent found a good conversion of a map that is the least accurate to a Quake3 map just yet, but I have to check some of the list that Neo gave. I'll look on them this weekend when I have more time because I remember playing a couple that were really close to the Quake map.

Btw, has there been any conversions of the Quake3 weapons? And I dont mean just one like the Railgun but all of them in a package.

 

[NeoNite]

I know that redfist has made a few straight conversions, but those were quake 1 maps though. Necropolis, ogre citadel, and a dm map. I think dm1.

Stuff

Did you get my stuff? Did it help any? Good luck finding the weapons too. CYA!

 

[War_Master]

ya, I got the maps Herms. The lightning in those maps wasnt that good and some didnt look like they had light actors and used just Zonelight instead... they really killed my fps except for one. But, I'm gonna keep them safe anyway because I do thing they have good structure and will be a very different gameplay than what we're used to.

Neo, I tried that mod that was made for Quake3a (Unreal Arena) and I was impressed on how good and accurate the maps were coming out before the mod was stopped. I wish it would've been finished though.


Now, I got another question for you guys that know more about Q3a than me. Where can I get a program that can export formats from Q3a into formats supported in UT or UT2k4? I found this MD3toASE convertor but I couldnt get it to work plus, I didnt know where to install it to since the readme file didnt explain anything at all. What I need the most is the weapon meshes so that I can animate them myself or maybe if it is possible, convert the meshes with their animations already.
