# Robin's Imporved Librequake Start
This map requires [LibreQuake](https://github.com/lavenderdotpet/LibreQuake), obviously.

This map started as a remake of saturn quake's titlemap, eventually turning into a canditate for LibreQuake's introductory map.

## Compiling from source
I reccomend using [the official LibreQuake compiling script.](https://github.com/lavenderdotpet/LibreQuake/blob/main/lq1/maps/make.sh)

If you're using the script provided, paste your source map into lq1/maps/src and use these flags:
```
LQ_BSP_FLAGS="-transwater -splitturb"
LQ_VIS_FLAGS="-noambientsky"
LQ_LIG_FLAGS="-extra4 -bounce -dirt"
```

## Installing

Copy the .bsp & .lit files from the .7z into your sourceport directory, on the lines of this(for linux):
```
~/.ironwail/lq1/maps
```
If you're not using ironwail, quakespasm should be the same deal except you'll have to open the console and type `map start-imporved`
