World of Padman

[gt1750]

I guess some of you might know this as a mod for Quake3:Arena, but the PadTeam now prepares a standalone version. It's scheduled for April 1st, though :)

I really look forward to play this again.

I used to play the maps years ago.

Didnt know it was turned into a full blown mod.
As long its still based on (Q3A source?) and kept the Q3A physics it should be good

edit=judging from the shots the world detail is bumped up a lot from the original maps.:)

I used to play the Elite Force versions. Man, that was a long time ago. I always like these little people maps, though.

Is this what the "Rats" CS maps are based on?

This guy took it to a new level with the quality of his texture work and design, but Lilliputian maps existed before Padman. There were several I used to play for the original UT, the best being by a guy named Brian "notintheface!" Kim. He had one set in a fast food restaurant, and another that was in a child's bedroom, with toys and records all over the floor. A screenshot from the fast food level is here:

There's another guy who made a ton of these maps for UT2K3. He's got one on a patio, one in an attic, one in a diner, etc. As nice as they are, I don't think they top the Padmaps.

the first "rat map" was in Sin in 1998

I haven't downloaded this yet, but it looks pretty cool:

Anyone downloaded the Standalone WoP?

I did, and played for a while - with bots. It's fun but the bots kicked my ass pretty bad. I don't like the HUD and I need to get used to the weapons. The framerate isn't as smooth as I expected (and as it was in the times being just a Q3A mod)

I'll probably try it on-line on Wenesday at school.
