I'm wrapping up work on a video about Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, specifically the single-player-focused version developed by Ritual Entertainment.

Many of Ritual's level designers got their start in the 90's as bedroom DOOM and Quake mappers. I expect to spend much of tomorrow digging for their levels, but these games aren't really my area of expertise, and I don't even know where to start looking. If anyone knows of good archives/resources for old usermade levels or, by chance, knows these guys' work in particular, I'd appreciate any guidance!

I don't necessarily need the files (though that would be cool!), footage is okay.

Names and handles of people I'm looking for:

Luke Whiteside aka weasl

Russell Meakim aka TheCastle1

Thearrel McKinney Jr aka Kiltron2

Richard Gray aka Levelord3

Todd Rose aka Mr.CleaN

Chris Voss aka kanaeda


  1. Specifically DOOM II and Quake series maps. Was involved with modding teams Artemis Software and WireHead Studios.

  2. Specifically Quake 3 levels and the fansite 'Mean Arena'

  3. GrayDOOM level pack

Found a Salon article from 2000 about the Daikatana devs that features quite a bit about Luke Whiteside

More complete list of work by Weasl found in the readme of his Half-Life level pack, Beginnings.
