Hello suicizer01

On of the main reasons for the map has been to see what is possible and test things that are not common in the other maps. The effective and extensive uses of map models has been to get none cube shaped geometry in to the game. The ultimate goal of the method is to use modular map models and glue them together within a cube world. It costs less polygons to make a Tbeam with a map model then to make it out of cube world geometry and the map model offers a grater artistic expression level. back in 2003 when Wauter and I have been working on FarCry all the indoors have been build out of modular meshes. The main problem has been back then that there was no way to effectively build the things around the modular models. And that is what is tested in this map use map models for the looks and the cube word for the game play and design iterations.
With some minor improvements like mesh collision with map models sauerbraten could become my favorite platform and I am compeering it with the Unreal3 and FarCry engines that I used professionally. The cube word geometry is amazing and good to use but good map models out of a modular system can make things look by far better. If used in the right way the maps could start to look less cubistic and more free from like. And the more complex shapes of map models cast nice shadows. You are right the massage about the health things are a bit annoying. But I think you can switch it off. Do you think I should do a version without them ?

In most cases it's considered proper to only have one of each (quad, boost) in a level. Then again, I guess it depends on the scale of it all.

You can use all textures and map models in your maps. The models and textures can be used by anyone in a sauerbraten context. See the license fife for details. I am looking forward to see them used in your maps. When you use the map models keep in mind that sauerbraten has no mesh collision and that results in big bounding box collisions. If the bonding boxes are a problem you can deactivate the collision for the mesh in the obj.cfg file and build one with the clip material in the cube map.
