Quake 3 Map collections

[sparhawk]

Does anybody have a good downloadlink where I can download collections of Q3 maps? I found sites with individual maps, but I don't really want to download each of them seperately, so I'm more looking for an archive that contains several hundreds to choose from. Well at least not only one.

A google search for "q3 map archive" brings up a couple torrent downloads for G-L Disc 1 and 2 (I've no idea where this release came from, but they each contain quite a few maps).

 

If you're going to be firing up q3 maps, can I suggest you try out 'The Doom That Came to Dunwich', by Ikka Keranen and Rich Carlson. Thief fans should recognise those names as former LGS employees, and the level design also has a nice medieval feel to it.

Also don't forget to check out SimonOC's quake 3 maps. Those always look damn nice. Of course you could also check out my trickjump map for q3... ;-)

Thanks, I check out those links. I found a archive with 330 maps, so that's fine for now.

 

 

Only thing left is, why they are not showing up int he menu. I can only start them via the console. I looked and they have an arena file which looks correct, so I wonder what else there is to do, to make them appear.

I'm not sure but I think I've read that people wants good cave tutorials and on SimonOCs site there seems to be two pretty good ones (I'm no mapper so I don't know for sure). Just thought I should mention it.

That's a nice site, thanks Nosslak. I found a pretty interesting q3 single-player puzzle map (!) that I'm going to try out later. Here's the link.

Don't thank me, thank StiFU, he's the one who found it, I just thought that it would be worth mentioning that there were some nice cave tutorials there too. There's some nice photos that could serve as inspiration/reference on there as well.
