The Undergate is a gateway selector map for 104 single player maps with screenshots and skill selector buttons meant to serve as a user-friendly starting point for a number of fine single player maps.

The Undergate was primarly influenced by the Underworld Map Review's site at underworld.planetquake.gamespy.com and the map information includes review rating (out of 20) and/or (classic) Hall of Fame rank where applicable. 

The main goal of this map is to increase the access and convenience of playing single player custom maps, I had never played a single player custom map prior to about 15 months ago because I didn't really know what to do or how to find them, and once I did -- I was surprised how creative they were, far different than my expectations of stodgy vanilla Quake box maps.

This map took nearly 3 months of effort to do the research and the testing.  The Red teleporter is for potential future use, as a part of a possible future project called the Mega Hub.

This map will not function at all without the progs.dat and using -game undergate, this was intentional to prevent accidental use of the map without the QuakeC refinements that enhance the experience (QuakeC error messages will display).

I intend to GPL the map source after a couple of months to ensure there isn't anything I need to change, the QuakeC source is included.  There is QuakeC to support the proper operation of, among other things, the Leafface maps.

Map readmes for all maps are located in c:\quake\undergate\map-readmes

Additional notes:

Oblivion.bsp was renamed to oblivionb.bsp as there are multiple maps named Oblivion.  This was done to ensure the expected oblivion map is the one the proper teleporter portal load.
