The Undergate was made in 2006 and included **EVERY** single player map reviewed or recommended at the now defunct Underworldfan PlanetQuake site [that featured Quake level reviews] provided it was compatible with stock Quake and did not require a modified progs.dat to run. Except that I honored every readme.txt literally. If the readme restricted re-distribution in any way, I honored the author's wishes to the full. If it said you cannot distribute this map except in the archive, I honored that. If it some other map distribution limitation that prevented inclusion, I honored that. The sole exception is that I wanted to include one of Tyrann's maps that had a readme that restricted the distribution and I contacted him and received approval.

What about the rest?

However, on the downside ... 1. The screen shots would never rival human judgment screen shots. 2. There is no reliable way simply from the map to know the author name. 3. An engine doesn't for sure know about multi-map releases.
