Timeline

Hoorah!

A small map. More than two or three would get really crowded. A couple of secrets, but basically, this is a first effort... sort of a test bed. (There's a little of everything...)

Middle of Nowhere

A small arena with some not-so-apparent ledges. Watch the nasty platform in the lava.

Pfhor Squared = 16

3 variations on a theme. Amazingly simple maps-one room, square, with a hill in the center and teleporters in the corners-but they play pretty well. One's dark, one's landscaped, and one plays with current.

Pfhor the Good Times v1.0

A Waldo World-like arena, except that the ledges are much higher. Lighting favors snipers. Feels a bit claustrophobic, but that's not necessarily a bad thing...

Stay In Control

A KOH map with the hill surrounded by movable platforms, sitting in lava... relies very heavily on fake walls (walls that aren't really there, but that look fine until you run through them). Several secrets, and lots of switches, the use for some of which only becoming apparent when you hear the screams...

Wichwadeego

There's a central room, but most of the action is gonna happen in the outside rooms and hallways. Watch the nasty corner rooms...

Assault! River of Death v1.1

Introduces an alternative to capture the flag. Each team has a base, with four switches in it. If you manage to flip the switches in the opposing base, you raise a pillar in the center of the map, and show everyone you won the game. Pretty slick... has a few nice tricks even if you don't have enough people to play it. New version removes the chapter screen, and fixes a bug or two.

Bermuda Triangle

A two-level arena, with a sort-of-open area underneath, and three passageways meeting in a small triangle above. The hill is the small meeting patch (not accessible with weapons from below...)

Escape!

A three level solo scenario. You're a prisoner, and your job is to escape, rescue Robert Blake, and get out. If you can finish this level on TC, consider yourself a true vidmaster. There are an absurd number of aliens here... and very limited recharging capabilities (unless I missed 'em all).

MapInfo 1.3.1

This is a really cool little tool of use to both mapmakers and players. Now works with both M1 and M2. Drop a map on it, and it'll create a text file containing lots of information about the map. Object info, lighting types, textureset, number of polys, number of platforms, number of points, total volume, and on and on... Use it for error checking (your map is crashing and you don't know why? Make sure the landscape texture you used is the one defined for the map. Want to make sure you haven't passed the 64 platform limit in your map? Save yourself lots of tedious counting with this. yadda...
