Inside the pack, some maps are hidden and are considered as Pro-Map and are accessible
for the web server. Level of difficulty is higher and/or are much more intensive, only
for real hardcore gamer (Newbies out). Here is the list of maps name:
- WTF-Q3A-01-pro
- WTF-Q3A-02-pro
- WTF-Q3A-04-pro
---MAP INFO & TIPS---
This MapPack includes 18 different CTF maps, There are 2 flags per team, 1 weapon per map.
The concept of WTF-Q3A is quite simple. By default, everybody starts with full ammo, and only
1 weapon. By doing so, the WTF-Q3A looks like a MOD, but it's really conventional maps, humm!
The focus is on gameplay through raw skill, not weapon manipulation.
There are two opposite rooms. When you get in the enemy room you can either catch the
enemy flag, pick up a tech or kill the enemies. Most common choice is to catch the flags
and come back to your base to cap. If you don't want the enemy to cap your flag, you can
take both flags, but consider that it takes more time to do so. For those who like to
play defensive, they will certainly enjoy this map.
If you and your team player both have a flag but your team player gets killed. You have
two choices to return your team flag to the base. (1)Touch the flag on the floor. (2)Capture
your own flag and the one on the floor will return to the base.
If you catch both enemy flags, you don't get double points, but you advise the enemy that
he can't cap his flags.
If you capture both enemy flags, and if when you return in your base one of your team flags
is still there, the fact that you capped the enemy flag, they will reapper in the enemy base
and then the enemy can now cap his flag.
It can happen that 3 players of the same team can have each a flag: 2 players have each
an enemy flag. One of the players looses his flag and the enemy returns his team flag. Then
2 flags reappear in the enemy base while two other players of your team are there. They
both catch a flag, plus your team player outside that still has his flag. Possibility of
lot of points for your team. Also when one player has a flag and another player of
the same team capture an enemy flag that will bring back 2 flags in the enemy base.
As you can see there are many interesting strategies that can be used in WTF-Q3A.
If you pick up an AMMO item, you will become automatically FULL AMMO. To avoid easy
control on powerup item, they are set with random time. An interesting thing in WTF-Q3A-06
everyone plays with an BFG an every time you respawn you have 200% heart & 200% armor.
Another thing very interesting, is that 4 SpaceMaps using the Railgun were included.
Our priorities where gameplay and mapspeed rather then detailed look. After ours of
testing and making lots of map changes we think we reached our goals.
Numbers of maps: 18 maps
Version: 2.0
Bot support (aas): Bots are fully supported and play fine (bots love small maps), but
this mappack was designed for multi-player/internet use.
Recommended players: Optimal for 2 - 4 Players in each team or 4 to 6 in deathmatch.
Maximum players: 16 in CTF, 12 in deathmatch.
pk3-File contains: .aas, .bsp, .arena, textures, screenshot, shader, MD3, readme file.
Custom textures: Yes
Custom shader scripts: Yes, logo on floor, team flags, textures...
Custom sounds: Yes
Custom Models Yes
---GAME TYPES SUPPORTED---
Deathmatch Yes
Tournament Yes
TEAM DM Yes
CTF Yes, very fun in CTF game type
One Flag CTF Yes
Obelisk Yes
Harvester Yes
How to play in Q3A: 1. Start Quake III Arena.
2. Select 'Singleplayer' from the menu.
3. Click the 'Skirmish' button.
4. Change the Game Type to 'Capture the flag'.
5. Click the right arrow button until you see "wtf-q3a-01".
6. Highlight "wtf-q3a-01" by clicking on it and then click Next.
7. Select the bot you wish to play against and his/her skill level.
8. Click the FIGHT button to begin play.
How to play in Q3TA: IF RUNNING SERVER:
Map will appear in the "StartServer" menu of Tema Arena; set options and
run normally.
IF JOINING SERVER:
Join as you would normally.
You can use WTF-Q3A maps as a complement in a regular CTF match, like overtime Rocket
Arena in Quake II. A regular match of 8 flags could be followed by a WTF-Q3A map with
a limit of 15 flags. For the Deathmatch or CTF, the WTF-Q3A are ideal for LanParty.
---OTHER STUFF---
Don't hesitate to send me feedback! and please tell me if you reviewed it or put it on a server.

---CONSTRUCTION---
Base: This mappack has influenced by WTFCTF from Team 3, the layout is very different,
and built from scratch.
Known bugs: When playing against bots they occasionally complain of 'weapon number out
of range'. This error has no real effect on the game. If anyone has any
input on this then it would be greatly appreciated.
No more, I think, but tell me if you find any.
Build time: A couple of weeks, humm, more...
Release date: 21/02/02 (DD/MM/YY)
