Fonti.MAP

Fonti.MAP, Fonti, or FONTI is a Multiplayer level. This level is intended for 8 players or less.

Historically, this level is notable for being the first level made for Quake that required the registered version. While it was still released as a raw .MAP like many earlier files, the inclusion of a Red Armor means that this level could only be played on a registered version of the game.

The map's name is a shortened reference to the author's name, Marc Fontaine. As the level was primarily designed as an attempt to see what could be done in the early stages of Quake mapping, meaning it would be bound to fall into obscurity after a short time, Fontaine decided not to bother with creating a more fitting name.

This level primarily features a small arena with a couple tunnels under the Water. A Elevator provides access to an upper floor platform, though triggering the Elevator to start functioning requires hitting a perfectly hidden Shootable Button. An alternative method, and the one Fontaine intended for the normal player to use, is to reach said platform is with a well timed jump by using the ramp leaving the Water.

As a little hidden bonus, there is an additional area that can be reached above the rafters with a well-timed Rocket Jump. This was likely put in, along with the Elevator, so that Marc Fontaine could have some advantage over his friends when playing this level. Fontaine once edited E1M1: Hangar for Doom to include hidden passageways for a similar reason.

This level was later updated on July 25, 1996 to include a wider array of textures from Terracotta instead of just using idBase.
