Description             : Deathmatch level, best for 2-6 players,
                          made to be cool and fast for
                          even 8 meg machines (that's why the use
                          of only 10 textures or so). Architecture
                          is also not complex, the goal of this
                          level is framerate, not diploma in
                          architecturing :) The average on
                          P120 16 megs in DOS for this level
                          in 1-player is 38 fps... In the slowest
                          places it gets down to 32 fps (couple of
                          points only).

My Other Maps           : Unholy Cave (DM7.ZIP), which is 3-8
                          player deathmatch level, and it got pretty
                          high rates on rating sites, though I
                          don't have a slightest idea why :)

Comments                : It's my second *finished* map, new
                          texture mapped preview in thred and
                          32 megs of RAM that I finally got speeded
                          up the work on this project alot, so I
                          spent more time on design and items placement.
                          This level is very much thought about,
                          so if you don't like some parts of it
                          that's not a bug but the way my twisted mind
                          works :) If something is in this map,
                          then I wanted it to be here =) Not the
                          other way =)
                          I'm NOT including source for this map,
                          if you REALLY want it contact me.

* Construction *

Base            : scratch . (stupid question...noone ever uses anything
                  else anyway, it's pain to modify someone's level)
Build Time      : 3 days + 1 day designing.

                Qbsp-time             : 326 secs
                Light-time (-extra)   : 221 secs
                Vis-time   (-level 10) : 5808 secs
                On a Pentium 100 overclocked to 133
                running win95 with 32megs ram.

Editor(s) used  : Thred (0.9b) and text editor for details (texture
                  scaling/aligning - where are you, John Mavor ? :) ).
Known Bugs      : There is a bug in a water trap room which is caused by
                  limitations in id's engine, when items don't respawn
                  properly. So sometimes QD and lightning gun can
                  disappear from the game... I couldn't do anything about
                  it (well I could write a patch but well that's a bad
                  decision :) )
                  Also heads gibbed in the Crusher can sometimes fly away
                  in the kingdom of grey planes... That's not a bug
                  really, dead men shouln't care about where their heads
                  are flying :) Though I tried my best and significantly
                  reduced this effect .

* Legal Stuff *

You may distribute this level and include it in any deathmatch compilation
etc., as long as you include my text file and give me credit.

Especially for the Actura Software I included a start room of sorts

* Where to get this BSP *
ftp.cdrom.com/pub/quake/levels/deathmatch/d-f
many other sites with cool
quake stuff :)

* FAQ - How do i run a bsp? *
copy the dm8.bsp into a subdirectory of id1 called maps,
ie c:\quake\id1\maps
then run quake.
go into the console by pressing the key left of the 1 key (~), and type in
"map dm8"
the .bsp extension should not be typed in, and neither the inverted commas.
