Finally, after nearly three months, 2 calvados bottles (actually just half a bottle) and enough patience to wait out the heat death of the universe, I give you 洞爺湖 (toyako), my very own Turok Dinosaur Hunter map:

STORY AND DETAILS:

On his way back to Earth, Tal’Set falls into a dimensional vortex that deposits him to a remote area of the Lost Land where an earthquake ravaged an ancient city centuries ago, the local populace do not take kindly on travelers and will shoot first and ask questions later. Find your way out of there by collecting 3 keys scattered through the map!

The mod consists of 3 parts, the map, a player movement mod and lastly a music update.

The map itself isn’t something too amazing, it’s merely my first attempt at building a map using an editor. There’s a total of 5 secrets (one of them isn’t labeled as a secret because I don’t really consider it a secret). As I built sectors and placed actors, it helped me understand how the game works and why it works the way it does. Inspiration for this map comes from here, Adon, this map is a tribute to you.

By the way, the name of the map isn’t something mythical, it’s quite literally the first thing that came to my mind, go here to understand the origin of the name.

The player movement mod changes player speed from it’s default value to 10.8.
As I playtested the map, I felt something off, and ultimately figured that Turok ran too fast! Playing with various other values I found that 10.8 hit the right spot.

Lastly the music update changes the vanilla Turok soundtrack to that of Darren Mitchell’s original score, it also adds a custom track titled “Kiri.ogg” which plays in a special section of the map.

Thank you Duke, Badger, smoke and Behemoth, I couldn’t have completed this map without your guides and notes.
