## Undergate Re-Release by Baker (ingame 3D map browser)

If the Quake Injector is too 2D for you, check out the new release of Baker’s “Undergate” project. It let you wander around screenshots of maps by displaying them in a custom map. Choose one you want to play and hop right into it.

   Baker gets one big plus from me for showing two of my maps in the screenshot :)

   In some distant and imaginary future, it would easily be possible for such a map to be dynamically generated on-the-fly using info_player_start and intermission camera locations to off-screen screenshot maps and then have the engine texture and set the QuakeC teleporter map destinations.

   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.

   Why only 104 maps? What about the rest?

   “Why 104 maps?”

   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.
