Description : Q3A - Sunny FFA/Team map in futuristic style
Panoramic view from ledges, central double cross
structure, Railgun Tower, Acelleration Pad double
tube, transparent floors.
Initially this map was intended for instagib play,
but it turned out to work so well for fast and
furious classic deathmatch games, that I added more
of the non-instant hit weapons like GL and Plasma.
Playing 7 bots on hardcore is a blast :).
Other Levels by Author : AEcyrena, AEshake2 both for Quake II.
AEcantow, AEcthdrl, AEcube for Half-Life.
AEarena, AEsculpt, AEarcs, AEdm17, AEcap,
AEpyra for Q3A.

www.geocities.com/petes-oasis/
wadfather.game-edit.com/
Be sure to check out his other cool env maps there.
Note: The provided original high quality .jpg files
needed to be re-saved at 60% quality to reduce size.

e8minitrimlight brighter and added my skybox code.
Concatination of the shaders I needed from the Evil
Lair 8 set.

Known Bugs : Alas the main structures corner texture would not
properly align. No biggie though.

Thanx to id Software, for Quake III Arena.
Thanx to Evil Lair, and Mighty Pete for providing the great textures and
environment map textures. Without these dedicated folks this map would look
very plain indeed.
Thanx to the folks at the www.quake3world.com Level Editing forums,
and especially ydnar for his help and great work on q3map2. Without them
this map would run a lot slower.
Also thanx to the folks from Madherosquad for their moral support and feedback
testing this map: mHs|Sunrise, mHs|Sh4gr4th and mHs|T3rror.
