BRCutlass-Test4



---------------------------------------------
What you're getting, and some notes:


I first played this map on Disastrousconsequences.com's invasion server. My primary reason for working on this map was to fix this glitchy skybox.  To that end I added a new skybox and redid lighting throughout the level, as well as adjust the water and fog. I also tried to improve gameplay for both the BR and INV gametypes, but primarily for BR.

Gameplay changes include: 
I completely redid the spawn points, so that each is now near a weapon and looking toward the other base.  I changed a few weapon spawn and ammmo locations.  I also lowered the amount of damage taken while in the water.  

I emailed the author for permission to rerelease this level back in November, but have had no response.  

---------------------------------------------
Known Issues:

Bots go crazy when they fall in the water.  I believe this was the reason the water damage was so high.  The palm fronds on the trees disappear as you approach them.  I may replace them with different trees later on.  The original version had thick fog and was set up so that you could not see the other's crow's nest from your nest.   Since the new version has less fog, this 'protection' no longer works.  I may add railing so snipers will be safer.

Extended description:
--------------------
Step back to a time of buccaneers and cutthroats, when sails
ruled the sea and the only ships traveled between continents,
not stars.  When the flak starts flying, just make sure that
you aren't the first to walk the plank.

Who doesn't love pirates?  Here you've got two ships,
an island, and one heck of a fight.  Also, this map is 
chock full of custom static meshes, so prepare for a 
completely new and unique experience.

Author's Notes
--------------
No, this was NOT inspired by "Pirates of the Carribean."  Anyway, drop me
an e-mail to let me know what you think, suggestions are always welcome.
Enjoy!
