To use these levels:
Copy all the .BSP files to your \QUAKE2\BASEQ2\MAPS directory. Launch a multiplayer game.
Press the tilde key (~) to bring down the console, and type "MAP <NAMEOFMAP>" For instance,
if you wanted to try out the Fish in a Barrel map, you'd type "MAP FISHINABARREL"
All players who join the multiplayer game must have the correct .BSP files in their
\QUAKE2\BASEQ2\MAPS directory, or they won't be able to join. If you have the maps in the
correct directory, all you need to do is join the server using the map.
PC GAMER ANNOUNCES FREE QUAKE II DEATHMATCH PACK
Coconut Monkey's "Tapestry of Injustice" symbolizes agony, ecstacy of id's
seminal shooter.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- PC Gamer magazine and Coconut Monkey Studios today
announced the imminent release of Coconut Monkey's Tapestry of Injustice,
an unofficial add-on pack for Quake II. Featuring five unique and
innovative Deathmatch levels personally created by the greatest game
designer of our time exclusively for Quake II, Coconut Monkey's Tapestry of
Injustice promises to focus on the most extreme elements of id Software's
blockbusting 3D shooter.
"I have long been fascinated by Quake and its sequel," said Coconut Monkey
at a press conference in Austin, Texas today. "But I have always felt that
the gaming experience could be taken to the 'next level', so to speak. I
feel that this goal has been achieved with my Tapestry of Injustice.
"We often hear Quake and games of that ilk described as 3D shooters, but I
believe that the Tapestry of Injustice elevates this kind of gaming to the
status of '4D shooter', if you will, the fourth dimension being the
psychological dimension. Each of the threads carefully interwoven into this
tapestry is a high-tension, pressure-cooker environment, and one from which
only the most intense gamers will emerge unscathed."
The five games to tbe included are as follows:
COCONUT MONKEY'S THE KILLING BOX II: HOT GRITS A-FLYIN'
The sequel to the phenomenally popular Coconut Monkey's The Killing Box,
Hot Grits A-Flyin' is the centerpiece of Coconut Monkey's Tapestry of
Injustice, and the game of which he is most proud. "As Mark Twain might
have said, simplicity is the essence of beauty, and I think my Killing Box
II comes close to realizing what he meant by that." The Killing Box is a
cunningly-designed cuboid construction that packs every weapon into a
deceptively large space, with the emphasis falling squarely on the
all-consuming power of the BFG10K. This sequel adds even more BFGs along
with new textures, Quad Damage and a special camping spot.
COCONUT MONKEY'S RAILGUN ALLEY
Designed to showcase the combined precision and power of Quake II's lethal
Railgun, Coconut Monkey's Railgun Alley is a true "corridor of power". An
elongated avenue of pure death, Railgun Alley allows gamers with a steady
aim to clock up as many as 60 kills in a single minute, and pull off
amazing multiple kill shots. "I am fascinated by Railgun Alley's
protagonists," says Coconut Monkey. "As you can see while playing, Railgun
Alley has no doors, windows or teleport points. So the question arises, how
did these characters get here? And perhaps more importantly, what motivates
them to act?"
COCONUT MONKEY'S GLUG!
"Glug! was designed to highlight the fragility of human life and the idea
that all men, truly, are created equal," says Coconut Monkey of his
underwater masterpiece. "Here, no matter how good your Quake II skills may
be, no-one can survive more than a minute because there is no air to
breathe. However, there is a rebreather hidden at a secret point in the
level, giving some players the chance to become slightly more "equal" than
others! I think this level will strike a special chord with gamers."
COCONUT MONKEY'S FISH IN A BARREL
Below, an inescapable pit where the doomed reside. High above, a perfect
camping point suspended atop an unscalable pole. Up there, a single player
lobs grenades down into the "barrel" as the "fish" below struggle to
survive. But maybe... just maybe... if one of the "fish" can grab that
single rocket launcher and knock the "fisherman" from his perch, they will
earn their chance to respawn in his place. Perhaps the most innovative of
all Coconut Monkey's levels, Fish In A Barrel is sure to revolutionize the
way people view the Quake II experience forever.
COCONUT MONKEY'S COLUMN WARS
Jutting from a deadly sea of lava, columns barely wide enough to stand on
support the precarious players in this particularly unfair and injust
level. Here, a single shot can send you tumbling to your molten demise.
"Tapestry of Injustice is a statement, a statement about how life is not
always fair, and how bad things happen to good people. And I think Column
Wars comes closest to illustrating the point I'm trying to make. Play it
and I think you'll understand."
Coconut Monkey's Tapestry of Injustice will be available to download free
from the Coconut Monkey Studios Store at www.pcgamer.com the week beginning
Monday 16th February 1998.
