Two potential additions to the map archive

Hello,

Quakewiki has a copy of QuadQuake, a partial conversion from 1997, available for download:

https://www.quakewiki.net/quake-1/mods/quadquake/

Quadquake makes extensive changes to the original game. There are new weapons, there's a third-person camera, and it's possible to play as an ogre or a death knight.

The maps included in Quadquake are all maps that had previously been released in 1996 and early 1997--for example, Critters by Jim Lowell and Death's Taste by Utah. One of Quadquake's maps is not in the Quaddicted archive, however: Marsalis by Noel Weer, from February 1997.

If you want to create a listing for Marsalis, I used pak extractor to rip the file out of Quadquake. The Quadquake release notes include copies of the maps' original text files, and I bundled Marsalis's text file together with the map as a zip:

I don't know if the version of Marsalis featured in Quadquake is the same as the original map. The Marsalis text file states "Authors MAY NOT use this level as a base to build additional levels." but Quadquake changes some of the monster and ammo placement in Death's Taste, so Marsalis may also be modified. I think the text file is accurate, though, because the Quadquake release notes don't edit the other maps' text files at all.

Whoa, I thought Marsalis sounded familiar and it is: https://www.quaddicted.com/quaddicted.com/wanted_files

I'll take a look at this, thank you!
