Description:	This level started life several weeks ago, after I'd jotted a few ideas down on paper (the acid room idea and the crossroad/ walkway just beyond it), and in the true Matthew Mauger tradition, it just grew from there. Steven Ross-Watt of Genesis BBS (01786-825368) suggested the idea of the "control room" section, where squares light up when people move into certain rooms on the map. I made it go one stage further - you can dive into the squares, and teleport right next to your opponent! Oh course, if people linger in that area, there are some switches not far away that open up some walls, and whoever is in the control room gets roasted by archviles >:-) I discovered how to make "bullet proof glass", sections of the map that you can see through but can't shoot through - this is used at the exit, and in the room with the light switches. A similar technique is used in the outside area to slam down a invisible barrier across one particular section, have a gander... Anyway, this is a wicked deathmatch level, with totally class textures (as always) - check it out, and watch out for those secret bitz!

I'm not sure if this is tower or town spelled wrong, or maybe just a new word I've never heard of. Either way, not the worst for '95.

Description             : This level started life several weeks ago, after 
                          I'd jotted a few ideas down on paper (the acid
                          room idea and the crossroad/ walkway just beyond
                          it), and in the true Matthew Mauger tradition,
                          it just grew from there.

Steven Ross-Watt of Genesis BBS (01786-825368)
                          suggested the idea of the "control room" section,
                          where squares light up when people move into
                          certain rooms on the map. I made it go one stage
                          further - you can dive into the squares, and teleport
                          right next to your opponent! Oh course, if people
                          linger in that area, there are some switches
                          not far away that open up some walls, and
                          whoever is in the control room gets roasted
                          by archviles >:-)

I discovered how to make "bullet proof glass",
                          sections of the map that you can see through but
                          can't shoot through - this is used at the exit,
                          and in the room with the light switches. A similar
                          technique is used in the outside area to slam down
                          a invisible barrier across one particular section,
                          have a gander...

Anyway, this is a wicked deathmatch level, with
                          totally class textures (as always) - check it out,
                          and watch out for those secret bitz!
