I included all the patches placed here into the whole set and updated the link to the files. See here http://www.excessiveplus.net/forums/thread/quake-live-maps-no-comments-here

One of you has asked me what I think of new Quake Live's maps. So now, in the night, when I can't sleep because of my allergy, I have some time to expose my thoughts of it.

Well... As for me Quake III Arena style can be described like mix of gothic (say "hello" to Quake I ) and futuristic tech (say "hello" to Quake II ). But what can we see in the new QL maps? "Industrial", "medieval" styles and other sorts of shit which require Mbytes of new textures, shaders, sounds, models... It seems to be a token of disrespect to players who have to download all this stuff. In the game all these styles look like an aliens cyborg's eye which is watching you from the your girl's ass while you're going to fuck her. You're noticing it and screaming out: "Holy shit!" or "Jesus, help me!" or "WTF?!" (depending on your common vocabulary).

So, before including these maps to Quake Live set all new textures should have been replaced by common Quake III Arena's ones.

You can ask me why I adapt QL maps for Quake III Arena. I do it "for love of the art".

Yes, I agree. The stock Q3 textures are very nice and could have been used more. Even many of the customs use most Q3 textures unless it's a very specific style. Well said, V.

In some days I'm going to adapt QLPP19 maps...

Thank you but it's something different

This allows to work on QL *.pk3 without quakelivedec.
