The demo (att) shows how a standard map could be converted into dual map, and that makes it double sized and symmetric. The main advantage is that all changes are only at server side (means that baseq3/modless may also play dual maps without downloading any) and the main disadvantage is that it is supported by specially modified server game engine only. For now you can try dual CTF1 on OPEN BOX MEGARAIL and -Spamers Paradise- servers

*better watch with sky on, so you could see sky texture remapped

Re: [suggestion] dual maps as new maps

In place of skeleton any model could be used that exists as md3 in the default paks. It is defined with *.ents file for a certain map, as well as any other disposition of spawns and teleporter targets can be made.

I can translate the opinion of the majority: they say <this is shit> Happy But people were put in the certain conditions (map made some carelessly and gametype), so I would not spread that opinion on to all possible fruits of modifying maps by this way.

What was worth to do is to include some models and textures into the release that could be used later to enhance existing maps.
