description: Medium sized DM level. This is

an *Old School Style* of map if

you ask me, and its very heavyly

based on a Clan Arena level i

made a little while back.

====================================================

play information

things, there were a lot more but

how to start goto start/run (on the windows task bar)

in single browse for your hl.exe (look in

following

hl.exe +map tighl03

if you want to have a *console* as well,

make it

hl.exe -console +map tighl03

====================================================

info

r_speeds are important to me. :]

Spent more time on this map than i have on any

other map in a long time, this map has had a lot

of work done to it, but I personal think it is

not *over done*. I was constantly trying new

things, adding and removing sections and

optimising the level in many different ways.

The *fly-by* in the single player mode took about

5 hours to work out, but its a nice start, and

something a bit special/different. there is a few

other things in SP that are not in the DM game.

i did have the skeleton and stukabats, and some

assassins, but these had to be removed as the

*orginal* dedicated Half-Life server did not have

these .mdls in the pak file :[ i made it so they

didn't appear in a DM game, but the server still

spat the dummer.

if your interested in the *assassin* version

(theres only a few, but the its a nice *look*

around) just email me, and i'll send it to you

The architecture comes from my local environment,

i have *borrowed* lots of parts of the old and

forgotten buildings around me. these building

themself are a bit of a miss-mash of styles and

era's and i think you can see this being reflected

within this map. My world is far from *perfect*

and i hate the idea of a *perfect virtual world*,

hence the use of the miss-mash style. When i

walk around these old buildings i like to tying

to workout which bits where constructed first and

which came later, i can see this being

refferneced in this level too, and i like it!

Base map was a Clan Arena level i designed a

little while ago. i don't think there where any

brushes that did not get move or changed during

the construction of this map.
