		* Zips are smaller in size than .paks, but if you wish you can always create your own .pak file later with a program like PakScape (see above).

Updates

-- Not been very active in terms of mapdesigning and all that lately, but nonetheless I have a couple of maps in the oven;

Over the last couple of months whenever time permits, I've been working on rebuilding 'The Edge' for Quake2World.
(It's taking long because working on this map entirely depends on my motivation and mood. The free standalone game project that Jay Dolan and co have developped has more or less come to a halt and it's of course very hard to keep people interested while the developpers and mappers have other things to worry about and attend to. However I still feel that Q2W is going to spark the interest of a bunch of Q2 players that love the doublejumping and can appreciate some eyecandy once version 1.0 is released. Screenshots of my fresh but rough and rusty DM1 remake will be posted this summer:)

Second, a 'Torment II' duel map has been sitting on my hdd for quite some time so I really should finish that one.

And lastly also on my hdd there is a rather large snow/mountain themed map in the making that will be specifically designed for the Vanilla crowd. I actually got rather far with it but I honestly have no idea when or if it will ever see the light of day. But that's how it goes when you make maps, I'm used to this and sometimes the best thing to do is to shelf a map and wait for inspiration and enough time.

-- Released a new map 'Torment' for Q2. Most if not all of my previous maps were designed for ffa (free for all) mode but this time the map is designed for tourney (duel) mode. This sounds super interesting but it basicly means that the map is just smaller in size and more thought was put into the item placement.

The original 'Rust' Quake2 Editing tutorials
If you are interested in mapmaking for Quake2 and could use some help, these extended tutorials are a good place to start.
They are still partly available on gamedesign.net but what I have uploaded here are the old tutorials from a couple of years back including all images and example .maps. I take no credit for the tutorials but I did fix a lot of things ie. added missing images, restored broken links and made example .map files.

keyGrip2 tutorial
Only one tutorial for now:> Retrieving the 1st-person view from 3rd-person demos. I figured this could come in handy since KeyGrip is not exactly user-friendly.
