* Other Info *

This level is based on a level I made previously but didn't work out. 
That one was called Hyperion (after the original location of 
The Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5), hence the name.

It is a small DM level and contains the megahealth, adrenaline and red armor.
Only the BFG and hyperblaster are missing weaponwise. I wanted to give 
this level a nice nighttime look and it worked out pretty well. 
I also aimed for a good flow and 3d-ness. It contains two elevators 
and no room has less than two exits, it should play relatively fast. 
Nevertheless it is a bit on the big side for one-on-one but should 
hold up okay with up to 6-7 players.

On the downside the main area has in places high r_speeds, 
so DM-ing on a low spec machine without 3d-acceleration will probably 
be less enjoyable. However, I know you all have good 3d-acceleration 
because you want Quake 3, right? I myself had no problems whatsoever 
running it on a listenserver with four other players, but then I 
have a PII 450 with a TNT-card, oh well... 


* How to install *

Put escape.bsp in your QUAKE2\BASEQ2\MAPS\ directory.
Type MAP ESCAPE.BSP from the console. Die with a smile, it's only a game :)
