Release Notes:

OK, before you tell me to stop stealing ideas and make my own map, i dont

take any credit for this levels layout or item placement. I just converted

the map over to Q3 because its a cool map.

This conversion of DM6 only took a few hours, and most of that was trying

to write my own shader code for the teles and the sky. Finding something

similar in Q3 and just modifying it seemed the easiest way :)

Feel free to use the textures and/or shader code for any other conversions

you want to make.

This was a simple conversion of a map i really like. I wasn't going to release it,

but there weren't any other DM6's out at the time, so i thought, what the hey!

I'd like someone to make a really original conversion of DM6 for Q3 using some of

the cool features available. You could really have fun with curves here :)
