* Other Info *


This map was created to be "complete." There should be everything you have
come to expect from Quake levels: Single Player, Coop, Deathmatch, Difficulty Setting,
even hints, level variations, etc. depending on difficulty setting and Single Player/Coop/DM.
It is also set within the "guidelines" of Quake World in regards to textures and "style."
If you have ever seen a "lightbulb" texture used for stairs, you will know what I mean <g>.
Realism was my goal. It is a very large map, that was tested on a minimum P75 with 8MB
of RAM. It was tested successfully under OS/2 Warp 4.0, Windows '95 and PCDOS 7.0.
For true experience play it on skill 2, if you can handle it. One word of advice:
save often.

I have set up a WEB Page at http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Heights/2723
You will find info about my levels and some tips how to survive the difficult areas.
Since it seems like we all need more info about editing and links related to it.
I will add it to my WEB Page, ASAP. Thanx to Jim Lowell for his advice. It will include
both basic and "tough" editing issues, without being too editor specific. We already have
great WEB sites dedicated to most popular Quake Editors. The information regarding
*.MAP file format is also well publicized.

PLACEBO.ZIP includes a CUSTMAP.TXT file which explains how to  run custom levels.

Feedback is greatly appreciated, by e-mail to uvision@ibm.net.
