Author's Notes

--------------

Note: Third edition with 2 small changes because so many people were complaining ;)
Fixed spawn point set to the wrong team
Put biorifle behind flag (no longer empty weapon base)

Hmm, was a bit disappointed about not making the finals in MSU Phase 3 but got an honorable mention. Decided to release an update because there was a few (kinda small) things I wanted to do in the original but I only finished it 19 mins before the deadline plus I had 4 3-hour exams over the next 4 days so I was a bit rushed to say the least :p

Changes over original version:
Improved item placement and such
Bot AI is much better now, they don't always take the same routes
Fixed getting under terrain (important!)
Added some nice particles (sea sparkles, leaves fall from the trees)
Improved sky and clouds, there's still some banding effects, but the differences in colour between the bands only seem to be 1 or 2 so I don't think it's possible to get rid of them with only 32bit colour (which is a bit impossible to fix :p)
Blocking volume in the center area is further out (no I am not moving the one near the flag because it brings many problems)
Fixed sea showing through grass and other small things like some lighting etc.
Reduced zip size by 288014 bytes. I did hope to get a decrease of 288015 bytes but it just didn't prove possible given I need to release this map in 2 weeks, or maybe 5 years...
Added comments around the map (look in editor, mainly in the middle and on the red side)

Things I still would have liked to have done but didn't seem possible:
More detail in general on the temple (Too high poly)
More temple stuff in the caves (Didn't originally plan for it and too late once I built the terrain)
More decoration on top of the cliffs, for example, buildings in the backround etc (Too high poly)
Better thematic execution - Stuff like the flag area has no real meaning, it's just a random building and it doesn't look good anyway (Again, not planned)
Loose rocks around the place (would have to be very low poly rocks and ugly, didn't think it was worth the effort)
People that are still moaning about the blocking volumes, well, just turn ghost on and see what it looks like when you are out at sea. This is the reason, so tough :p

Please DON'T use any of the meshes or textures without my permission first. I would like to know who is using them, plus if you are thinking of entering a competition or something... ;)
