New Map Conversion: 'Catalyst' - Reaches Final Release.
After many months of work and numerous iterations, long time deathmatch player
fourier has finally completed converting one of his favourite maps:
Catalyst, originally by
tehace, for the game
Reflex Arena.
A small map, focused for 1on1 and 2on2, the gameplay is fast, and extremely punishing.

Originally started in December 2018, fourier quickly decided to save time and energy, by creating a
specific tool to convert the brushes and items. After that, the map went through several iterations through alpha and beta, eventually progressing to a one day tournament on catalyst_b1, where
VVD took first place.
Map files are available both
here and on the
mirror site. The map is currently available to play on playground.ru, quakeworld.fi, quakeworld.eu, qw.baseq.fr, and play.quake1.pl. We can expect it to be on more servers soon, as several tournament admins have already decided to include it in the pools of their upcoming tournaments.
fourier would like to extend his gratitude to all of the people involved in the creation of the map:
