* LEVEL DESCRIPTION *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capture the Flag with a twist.
Not much of a twist anymore... Ok, there is only one capture point in the map.
It is on the hill in the center, you'll be looking at it while you pick your
team and class. Besides that, it is standard capture the flag for the most part.
Other things you should know...
* If a flag is dropped, it returns in 60 seconds.
* There are three detpackable locations in the map. They are fairly obvious...when you
come upon them. Just remember, plant your detpacks from above not below as all the three locations are horizontal NOT vertical obstructions...one is made of wood... Remember, they
will not be destroyed unless the detpack is planted on top...
* The grenade packs in the respawn rooms give you only 2 type 1 grenades and
1 type 2 grenade. They return in 30 seconds.
* All lasers are color coded. Blue lasers kill the red team and allow the blue team
safe passage while the red lasers work FOR red team, by killing the blue team.
Opposites kill.
* Purple lasers kill scouts of any team.
* The lasers for each team can be toggled on and off by activating the computer
in each teams basement. The computer screen will be on and so will a little light
when the lasers are active. The screen will be black and the light gone when they
are inactive.
* In the battlements/pillbox, there is a switch that can be operated for a quick
safe exit from that part of the base...make sure someone stays behind to close it for
you, it would be a shame if your enemies used it to get INTO your base easily...
* The alien room in the middle of the map has a quad damage hidden in the water. It that
lasts for 60 seconds and reappears 2 minutes after it was taken. You will see a green
glow in the water when the Quad Damage is present.
Scoring:
* 10 points for the normal flag.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TEAMS : Blue and Red. Standard fare.
Players : 10-20 This is a big map, so aim high...but all maps get crowded
when there are 32 people on them. It should still be good fun with
a smaller amount of people though.
New Textures : New texture were deemed costly and time consuming thus they were
omitted.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* CONSTRUCTION *

Prefabs : None. (Couldn't find any prefab pipes ;)
Editor : WorldCraft 2.1 (don't be fooled it is much better than 2.0)

* CREDITS *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(In no particular order.)
AUTOLYCUS : For keeping up a great site with tons of great info that could
get even the most dense newbie started.
(http://halflife.gamedesign.net)
NAVYFIGHTER : For answering a million questions a day at the GameDesign.net
forums (including a few of mine). Also, for *trying* to help
with the laser setup around the alien flag (even though that
part of the map was omitted from the Lite version). Check out
his great site, info_design (info.gamedesign.net).
Zoner : For the compile tools.
Lobotomy Boy : For strip empty and for actually fixing the laser setup for the
alien flag...and soon, for FRA! (Too bad it was omitted...)
ALSO : The creators of Wally and all the other great programs listed
above, you know who you are (too bad the custom texture were
also omitted...doh!)
Flint Man : For presiding over the beta tests at info_beta, an off shoot of
Navy Fighters info_design.
Beta Testers : Casserole, Flint_Man, Ace, Cassabier, Echo0 and everyone else
that I didn't mention...I have forgotten some of the testers names.
Also, Dyne and his friend at the DOE (halflife.lowlife.com) and
The Sureal Beta Testers (www.planethalflife.com/sureal).
QGLite update: Borg at the TF Collective and Moog at Mutilation. Your candid
reviews of the buggy full version have caused a LOT of changes
in this version.
TestMonkey! : For providing info_beta with a playtest server for both occasions
that my map was tested.
Valve : Everyone does this...and with good reason! Valve has gone far
above and beyond the worth of Half-Life by releasing the TFC mod.
Yeah, I know it's a marketing strategy and EVERYONE is going to
buy TF2...but it still shows you that the guys at Valve kick more
ass than your standard kick ass game developer.
Guys I forot : Sorry, so many people were helpful that I forget your names.
So, here's to the unamed info_beta playtesters and anyone else I
didn't mention.
