@[b.i.o]UX-3000 - Your messages from Industrial ->!Public Beta!<- by Hipshot have been moved here, so everyone can discuss your project and have an understanding of what exactly you mean by Q3A REINCARNATION - AMAZING!!!!! 2026 map-pack and what it is.

Can you explain or share some details of your project?

Your moved comments are:

Map will be in Q3A REINCARNATION - AMAZING!!!!! 2026 map-pack with oters maps by Foo, sst13, Patt Howard, Hipshot, StormShadow, ShadoW, thefury, AKUTA and another authors, sorry my english

and...

I do need permission, but it'll probably be difficult to ask every author, since map packs sometimes contain not 20-30 maps, but 150-200 in small ones, and around 300-500 in large ones, since these are collections for the x64 version of the new HD engine in the RUNO Edition mod. And there aren't just one or two, but dozens, of which I can release three or four in a few days. So, it's probably easier to work through the forum admins or the website itself to reach everyone. Or conduct a beta test and include all the authors.

Another option is to include all authors in the Readme, but it already contains references to the best cards and bonus cards. Then i'd have to convert all the .txt files into entire tomes as .docx files. The format is very large, especially since there are authors from FpsBanana as well, not just this site.

If you check their bio, it becomes pretty clear what the objective is. What is consent anymore?

In fact, there is an idea to create a series of map packs for three computer games - Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament 2004 (maps from UT2003 in it too), Unreal Tournament 3. And they are united by the "brand" or name REINCARNATION, so for each of these computer games they are called UT2k4 REINCARNATION, UT3 REINCARNATION, Q3A REINCARNATION.

I'm in VK - vk.com/id307374614 (project page)

There are map packs for UT3/2004/2003 that are 80-98% complete and in the process of being prepared and edited for release. One of the map packs is for the UT2004 test version: GOG FreeDRM CE + DX9 x64 + ReShadeMe + UT3 Weapons Mod Beta + UT3 Voices Announcer Pack, and the other is for UT3 Black Edition + FreeFOV + Color Restoration Mod (DM_TDM_CTF_VCTF_GREED_WAR). But, the most extensive family and the most ready for release is the Q3A map pack series, designed for the mod with the new x64 engine—Q3A HD Remake, aka Q3A RUNO Edition (ModDb). This mod was literally created for mounting various map packs on its base, as its Q3Base can handle the installation and operation of 2,000 to 5,000 map locations simultaneously! This was the reason why I felt comfortable working with it for map pack tests (I haven't tested it in CPM and I will need your help with the tests as well)!!!!!!

Currently, of the more than ten map packs approaching completion, the following are:

Q3A REINCARNATION - GO FIGHT! & Q3 15th Anniversary & Map-Center's Urban Jam Hybrid Mappack - as the name suggests, this is a partial hybrid (only some maps are used selectively) of the Q3 15th Anniversary, Map-Center's Urban Jam, and my Q3A REINCARNATION - GO FIGHT!. 222 locations (maps) and are currently being slightly reworked for finalization. It may increase slightly.;

Q3A REINCARNATION - GO FIGHT!!!!!! - 150 action maps. This is action mini-map-pack in 2026! Done, rewriting English README;

Q3A REINCARNATION - EARTH-SPACE-Sci-Fi 3-EDITION - GeoComp/space floater/Sci-Fi-maps map hybride map-pack - 255+- maps. The unique map pack is being supplemented and its README is being edited in English.;

Q3A REINCARNATION - AMAZING!!!!! 2026. 98-125 maps. I'm working on this version at the moment and it has the highest chance of being released first! Here, in one map pack, floater/DM/FFA/Tourney/CPM maps of different genres (nature, street, fantasy) are combined, and inside there is a whole collection of hot TDM maps before battles. But...in small map packs I don't have a separate CTF direction in the maps, only in larger ones;

Q3A REINCARNATION - BEST MICRO MAP-PACK 2026. 115 maps/ done. Small map-pack. Rewriting english version of README;

Q3A REINCARNATION - WOW!!!! ONLY ACTION!!!!!! 2026. 338 maps - medium action map-pack. It is being edited, it doesn't have its own logo yet, unlike smaller map packs, and there is no README yet;

Q3A REINCARNATION - CRAZY HORSE 2026 EDITION. 451 maps. It includes maps for almost all game modes, including CPM and CTF maps. Essentially a mega-map pack. I don't remember if there are any RA3 maps, but I doubt they're suitable for third-party expansions. Completed/Rewrited English README;

Q3A REINCARNATION - SMALLER THAN LIFE & URBAN JAM 2026 - hybrid map pack (as in point 1, but older and with different maps). 50-150 maps. In progress. Rats maps (SMALLER THAN LIFE) + City Scape/Urban maps;

Q3A REINCARNATION - SARGE'S REVENGE/MAJOR'S REVENGE/URIEL'S REVENGE/HUNTER'S REVENGE/Tank-jr's REVENGE/PHOBOS'S REVENGE/YOU VERSUS XAERO - These are collections of curated maps that, by default, include a bot, which is the name of the map pack. So, in the most hardcore of them, VERSUS XAERO, you'll fight the final boss from the last Tier in Q3A, and each map pack is simply a selection of legendary maps featuring them, as if you were playing a tournament against these digital opponents—that was the idea! I think solo players will enjoy it, especially VERSUS XAERO. Done/Rewriting English README;

Q3A REINCARNATION Scorn's Map-Pack - Just so you know, the author Scorn (from FpsBanana) is present in all map packs for UT3/UT2004/Q3A, and more so for the first two games, because the quality of his maps there is even higher and they have native bot support in each of them, which is not present in many of his Q3A maps. In his honor, I've compiled a collection of his maps from FPS Banana and lvlworld.com, which do support bots. He makes some truly bizarre, beautiful maps (especially for UT3/2004), and he even has some beautiful floater maps for Q3A, as well as remakes of old DOOM/QUAKE maps for Q3A. While they're not quite as good as sst-13's remakes, they're still interesting! Still at work.

This is not a complete list of map packs in progress. I'm also putting together a video and music bonus pack for all game series (Unreal 1/2, UT99, Q3A, UT3, UT4 PreAlpha, Quake Live, and others), as well as game music (for games), bass-boosted tracks, and relaxation tracks. It's huge and (a bit pirated, may be))

By the way! I studied map pack compilations based on the Quake 3 15th Anniversary Contest Map Pack by Various on this website – from the map pack logo to the way the maps are laid out – I studied everything inside the unpacked version. In my opinion, my friend Various and I shared 70-80% of the same map selections, but I went my own way – creating multi-genre map packs that don't require 15-30 maps, but rather larger packs, including the introduction of floater/urban/small-than-life/CTF maps. That is, even the smallest map pack contains 50-150 maps, a medium one 150-250, and a large one 250-500 maps!!! These are global compilations (mega-packs).

@[b.i.o]UX-3000 : Thanks for the background. I want to be upfront with you: the wider gaming and Quake communities have a very different view on content than what you might be used to on VK. Taking existing work and repackaging it without significant changes is generally viewed as theft or 'leeching' rather than a contribution.

If you launch the 'reincarnation' series as is, the reception will likely be very negative. To successfully expand your audience, you should focus on original creations or, at the very least, collaborate directly with original authors for permission and credit. That’s the only way to build a real reputation here.

ОК! Well, I contacted some authors, especially regarding the UT2004/3 maps and the authors from FPSBanana. Actually, I recently registered here and literally learned the community rules at your suggestion. I'll then contact the authors of each map in the collection, and I won't repackage them. So, as with the Quake 3 15th Anniversary Contest Map Pack by Various, these will be sets of original archives with the original author's READMEs and patches from lvlworld.com/, FpsBanana, ModDb, and other resources. But first, I'll finalize the build and offer each map author included in it beta access in advance for testing. That will probably be better! Additionally, each map pack has its own detailed README describing what's what and what comes next. I'm also thinking of contacting the author of RUNO Q3A Edition x64 and talking about it.

While I don't want to "tie" anyone in, I think I'll need to create a document or text file with recommendations for installing these map packs in Q3A RUNO, and also suggest that future users test them in CPM, for example!

I'll also include not only the authors but also the file sources (websites) and thank the portals.

And I wasn't going to post the content on VK or similar sites, only information about the development progress + a few screenshots, all links will be within the community, the forum at lvlworld.com/, RUNO Edition itself remains on ModDb, but all map packs will be here, well, if this topic becomes a project page and it is not moved somewhere else on this website!

I don't really need any reputation or awards – I want to make this project for all users, players of the old Q3/UT2k4/UT3 series, and then move on to a similar project for UT4 PreAlpha/UT99/Q4/QL.

Despite my almost pirate-like "take this and put that," I have no selfish motives and will respect the authors and the community. So I think I'll do everything right, just as you showed me.

By the way, you are also one of the authors)) I just now realized that you are Tigger-oN!!! He-He!

There's good news: the second (bonus) part of the Q3A REINCARNATION map pack, Blood & Red & Run, is currently being finalized. It features the bloodiest, most brutal maps, as well as gothic maps with frantic gameplay, and a few bloody flying maps in the same style. This "child," i.e., an extract from part of the larger Q3A REINCARNATION - AMAZING!!!!! 2026 map pack. Also on the way is a second "child" with more diverse map genres (not tied to blood, there are street maps): Q3 REINCARNATION - Kill 'Em All.

The most important thing is that I didn't unpack and combine the maps into a single .pk3 file, but rather created a large list of folders. Unlike the Various map packs, however, I have internal numbering. However, I still have links to each map's web page on this site, plus their original fixes and Readme files, as well as the map's original descriptions!

Both child map packs feature your maps (different ones) – the first in the Gothic style, and the second in the Urban style. As you might have guessed, the latter map is from the famous Urban Jam collection! Therefore, I ask your permission to use the maps Catchment by Tigger-oN, Tig's Den by Tigger-oN (tig_den), One Down
by Tigger-oN, and Out on a Limb by Tigger-on in both map packs and the larger parent map pack!!!
