the infamous flotsam map versions
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2022 7:26 pm
The Flotsam map that was entered in the contest...back when we made the FLP pack with yrex, I couldn't find the map anymore even, the xanaweb (the site linked to from the french gti bonus cd) wayback version didn't have the files, so we could only find the version that mmu backed up (it was the fileplanet version afaik). But it turns out it wasn't the featured version. Now that version (or close to it) has surfaced on that CD i talked about before finally. Now here are the two versions to compare.
Be aware it works best only on version 200. The later version is interesting in that it has a different titan room and it has a mercenary room with alarm spots next to cockpit and in general its more finished and has more monsters, except that the start has a zone leak.
This guy later got really good but this was obviously rushed for the contest. He made some really good ut maps later on that had quality of retail maps and he also made beaconis obscura, the famed flyby map that also was a winning entry or one of them in the later contests (the first predecessor to make something unreal or the first ever msu contest more like)....
But yea this map is known to be hated by Turboman who wished it never existed but maybe he played just one of the versions. Well since most websites got dead that hosted it, his wish did come true....except now both versions will be posted here:
older ver - this is the one flp version was based on, with some hints taken from the screenshot of the later ver but I didn't remmeber the difference in the titan room, except i knew it was different somehow
updated ver
enjoy (or not, if you're turbo and hate this map)
