DESCRIPTION:  

UT DM/TDM/SNIPER MAP SET IN A LARGE LIANDRI WAREHOUSE.

To begin with, this map is VERY OLD!! So it's not a super great
looking map. DM-BoxesRuS was a large sniper deathmatch map I built 
originally in early 2002 after playing a few months on sniper servers. 

I'd always liked urban environments, especially if they were convincingly 
done. I thought I'd try one of my own and so decided on a urban warehouse 
locale where I had the building as the center surrounded by buildings 
from which players could snipe. 

Boxes-R-uS was my first map design to use more than 1000 brushes,but 
it suffered from some nasty HOMs and overall poor framerates when 
inside the warehouse (one huge zone). Remember that computers in 
2002 were not good at rendering large polycounts without lagging - 
I think the map had about 600-800 polys when you were up high in 
a corner and looking out across the warehouse.

I eventually fixed most of the bugs in the map, and deleted most of 
the outside areas to get more flow into the gameplay, which did improve 
a bit but the map was still pretty big for a regular DM map. A that 
point I reconfigured the layout for CTF, which the map seemed at the 
time to be better suited for. 

The CTF version was built in April 2002 and was eventually released 
as a BETA at Unreal Playground in November 2002.  I did get a some 
feedback which led me to modify the map layout slightly and added 
more deco and detail for a second version. This final CTF version 
pushed the brush-count to over 2000 brushes, however, the improved 
CTF was never released since it still had less than optimal performance, 
(adding more brushes into the map was NOT really a good idea) and I 
wasn't happy with the results so it went on to the shelf for later. 

I think the next time I loaded the map into UED was sometime during 
2005. I had decided to check out Hourances Pitores and HourIndus 
texture sets to use in other projects, so I essentially retextured 
the CTF-FNB-BoxesRuS-v2 map using the Hourances sets to play with them 
and at the same time I made a few layout optimizations before I retired 
the map again.  

Fast forward to today - Earlier in 2010 I was spending a lot of time 
working on the very complexed DM/DOM Fallen Angel map and really needed 
a break from that one - so I switched gears and decided to try and finish 
the Boxes-R-uS map once and for all. Well now it's as finished as I'm 
willing to make it :)

So here it is, all these years later (for better or worse, lol) Boxes-R-uS! 
THREE versions: DM, DOM and CTF. The DM and DOM share the same layout, and 
the CTF is of course a slightly larger symetrical layout. All THREE maps 
are separate releases.

Hope you enjoy the maps!

CREDITS:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Many thanks to UT99.org and the makers of UTR XPickups and  
especially the XReplacer mutator :) 

Many thanks to the folks at Unreal Playground who provided
feedback on CTF-FNB-Boxes-R-uS-BETA map back in Nov 2002.

Thanks to Tom_CaT for helping recently play test the newer 
Boxes-R-uS maps and for providing some good suggestions over 
the years.

Thanks to Bot40 for Smart ALternate Path actor (used in the CTF map).

Thanks to Hourances, for Pitores and hourIndus texture packs.
Thanks to Mychaeel for MEsh-Maker.
Thanks to Akuma for A3text and Richrig.
Thanks to Plutonic for PlutonicUrban.
Thanks to the author of UTTech4.utx, whoever that is :)

Thanks to SilverIBex for LPCityDecos01.u Mesh pack.
Street Decoration Pack for Unreal - http://www.silveribex.com/. 
This pack includes models and textures originally created by 
Silver Ibex, Angel Heart, Matt 'Fat Marrow' Farrow, and 
Gavin -Goslin23- Goslin. I'm going to assume these guys that made 
the meshpack had permission from the original authors.

Various other textures from various urban UT maps have also found 
their way into this map (for example like coke and pepsi machines). 
Now I'm not 100% sure where they all came from originally because 
this map has been around forever and it had a lot of textures added
and replaced over the years, so I just don't remember (sorry :P

Some look like they are from HalfLife1, deusEx1, and other games - 
and some I recognize from early AngelHeart maps like downtown, but 
I'm sure they came from other UT utx files or maps. So to any authors 
of textures used in the Boxes-R-uS maps without credits, I thank you :)

Hope I haven't forgotten anyone!

Cheers
FNB
