perhaps they miss the maps they played on, and wanna play them in sauer?

This can't be called a remake from the original Q3tourney6 as it was WAY different, in actually all aspects.

I'll save you the harsh comment by telling this:

Just observe the original q3tourney6 and think about the next couple of questions:
- What's so great about the map? If there's nothing great about it, then it's not worth to remake.
- Why is that certain point so great? Be sure the point you come up with has some sort of sense, else it still isn't worth to remake.
- Is it really that great to let it fit Sauerbraten's style of gameplay, flow, lighting and texturing? Quake 3 Arena and Sauerbraten are somehow similar, but it can be very tough to create a remake of a map, which still has the feeling like it's original has.
- Am I that experienced to realise a really good remake? This question should be asked every second you're remaking the map. If you realise your not, just drop it and keep it in mind for next year or so.

Don't create a remake which looks bad, that gives it's original a bad image.

If you can recognize it, then why does it matter if it's different in some ways.
Nothing's perfect in this world. Deal with it =P

I haven't tried out the map, but sauerbraten has different physics to that of quake. So maybe it's good to mix things up a bit, maybe the uploader adjusted the gameplay to fit sauer better?

The only thing which can be considered as recognisable is that it has platforms with 9 pillars on it and the name of the map (which actually shouldn't be uppercased). So it is as similar as a piece of paper with 18 circles drawn on it, while 2 pairs of 9 pillars are standing inside squares, named q3tourney6.

Besides that, I've tried the map and it's no good at all.

Again, Don't create a remake which looks bad, that gives it's original a bad image.

i dunno what your problem is, its sure not your business which map he remakes, what he changes to the original and how he named it afterwards!
well, i didnt dl the map but only from a look at the screenshot you can see that this is prolly one of his first maps ever (sure no 9points btw :D) and its not original ofc but i saw immediately which map he tried to remake!

...and dont worry about its image, because it was a crappy map already in original :P

I think it looks good
