Ok, I don't want to go into too much detail, but I'm making a mod which is kinda-L4D coop gameplay inspired, except set in the Quake universe. I need some suggestions for SP maps I can use for the various "missions". Basically I would just create an .ent file to tweak anything needed for the mod.
I guess the criteria would be:
- Big!
- Linear as possible, so players can "move" through stages to get to the end
- Not overtly focuesd on keyfinding/traps
Any suggestions would be welcomed! Thanks guys.

Zop made a big large Clan Arena map that was difficult to navigate and too big for multiplayer, but would be perfect for a zombies mod I think. The map was tough to navigate in some ways, had railroad tracks, an abandoned base with a large partially flooded area. And some of the map was covered with snow.
It was a great map. Except it really was far too large by any reasonable stretch of the imagination to use in single player.
I don't know the name of the map offhand, but I made a thread asking for it:
http://quakeone.com/forums/quake-talk/quake-central/5089-zops-railroady-ca-map-named-what.html
Since this railroad and base map was a deathmatch map, there are no keys or any other natural obstacles except that does have "bottlenecks" that a couple of zombies here and there could clog up or you could but a crate there or whatever your plans are.
Zop has made a few high quality maps, like dm3again:

Look at func_ in the "maps with GPL sources available" thread. Using a map editor should be easier than making an ent file? _________________ ReMakeQuake The Realm of Blog Magic

Big AND linear? Hmm... If you added a set of dynamic bsp entities to the mod, it'd probably more easily allow the use of a larger variety of maps as you could block off corridors/areas and insert stairs/lifts in order to create different paths that are more suited to your needs.
As for concrete suggestions, Red666 maybe. It's probably not a bad idea to check the Quaddicted listing for all Nice and Excellent maps that are mentioned being large on the description page.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. The dynamic BSP stuff is a great idea and was already something I was considernig for some of the id maps.

It's called Red777 actually. My bad. Also, it requires Quoth, but since you're going to make .ent files, this shouldn't be a problem. edit: Glassman's Day of the Lords, too.
