Additional Credit*

* I have to give the bulk of the credit to the makers of TREAD, its an 
           absolutely great program due to its accessibility and ease of use.
* ID Software, of course, for Quake 2.
* RUST- for the plethora of info provided :  http://www.gamedesign.net 
* Thnx to Havok who lets me test every map on him =) oh yeah and my nephew "Mox"
  and my pals in clan LOF, T-bond in particular gives the type of critism and advice
  that is needed and rare (he is very honest).
* Huge thanx go to these guys whos map "JumpBeach" and freely shared info about how to make the 
   jump pads work and made their use for me possible : Monsto Brukes, MrHyde, Scampie :
   http://tarot.telefragged.com/ryo i can't thank them enough.

* The awsome env is called "stars" and i wish i knew where it came from

*GAMEPLAY INFO*

 Single Player :  nah
 Deathmatch :  well, thats what i made it for
 Cooperative :  nope, unless you gang up on some lpb in dm.
 Difficulty Settings: nope
 Base System:  Celeron 333-not oc'd /128 RAM /Voodoo2 Blackmajic
 Player load : ARGH-COUGH-BLEHHH !!! (i hate this catagory) 
               i like 1 on 1 but 4-5 ffa seems to be about right
               it boils down to personal opinion andthats why i usually don't
                bother with recommending a number.
 * i am no good at makin bot routes, the erasers i use don't like the jump pads anyway
    but if you (read whoever) can make and send me a good one i'd be indebted =) *

               folder and let go.
 
 
*NOTES*
   No arguments from me, the brush usage in this map are excessive but there seems to be
    no other way to get the nice curves. I was supprised that the speeds in the map were 
    well within reason sans a couple localized "hot spots". 
  What i really wanted to do with this one is make an "attractive" map with the original
    Q2 textures, though i always have preffered the custom textures that are "out-there".
    I did resort to a custom env, i can't bring myself to putting an orange sky in 
    one of my maps "sigh" , i just don't like orange that much.

 No quad, sorry, this map just didn't seem to call for it

 
 OH YEAH please let me know what you think good or bad, i'm not overly 
  sensitive either just go easy with the harsh language, remember we live in a "society".
 
 The two servers running this and my other maps are as follows :
    The Necromancers Lair  @  24.3.60.209
    Backshooters Rail Lair @  24.6.131.209
    A few are at one of my clans WoD server at 24.113.104.178 You will need to install 
     the WoD mod to benefit the most in there. Say "hey" to all the LOF members but take
     it easy on them they are all Old Farts.
 Please drop by and look for either Maric or Havok
