 CREDITS:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Many thanks to UT99.org for having a fun mapping contest in these later years 
of Unreal Tournament 99 :) The great old game lives on! 

- Many thanks to all The Epic mappers because they contributed to one 
  of the greatest video game ever made that is still being played by old 
  and new players 13 years after release!!! 
  
**** Note regarding imported MyLevel textures - The texture names actually have 
     the authors ID in them, so hopefully that covers anyone I forget to 
	 credit ****  

Many thanks to:
	 
- Chris Plutonic Blundell for textures and texture-bases

- Rich Akuma Eastwood for textures and texture-bases

- The PhotoRealistic web-site for textures and texture-bases

- Creavion for some Unreal2 and UT2004 textures I used as bases in composites

- KingMango, for the road textures 

- AngelHeart for the "LP" meshes and textures used, and for some bstreet textures, 
  like a few store fronts and some other stuff as well ... 
  
- PaperCoffee for the amazing Contest banner graphics and contest promo artwork 

- I made (rather quickly, heh) a shitload of signs and other various graphics and 
  composites for this contest map, plus used several other "FNB" textures. These 
  all have "rb" or "fnb" in the name and are free to use by other mappers as long as 
  they are imported into MYLEVEL and are NOT RE-NAMED. 
  
TESTERS: 

Nick 'Tomcat' Burns - thank you for the many suggestions (and smart remarks ;)

Swanky - special thanks to for the generous feedback and critique, and for understanding 
         this experimental monster for what it is :) I made most of the recommended changes. 
		 
MEAT   - thanks for the practical assessment. 

Jaypeezy - thanks for the suggestion on fixing the recurring death zone in the "High" tower.
      I ended up making those changes (and also had to change a whole lot more before it finally 
	  became stable, lol)

DeathoX8 - lastly, extreme thank you for the amazingly detailed analysis and feedback on both V1 
      and the V2 beta. Pretty much made all recommended changes and bug-fixes suggested.  I did
	  fill the map with DVTs for the crazy number of ambush-points, but these sdaly failed to 
	  work - so i ripped them all out and deleted several ambush points. Weirdly, the BOTs would
	  more frequently take up sniper positions on occasion, but like you pointed out this was 
	  likely due to the adjusted weapon placements and the fact that all player-starts in the 
	  map work reliably now (I zoned each one, heh).
	  

UT99.ORG CONTEST PEOPLE:
        
Many thanks specifically to genMokai, for ut99.org contest site administration and 
to PaperCoffee for the support and excellent contest artwork - fantastic banner. 
Thanks to Jack Griffon for hosting the contest maps on his server, to Dr.Flay for 
collecting and mirroring the contest mapper's map downloads, and for FireFly for 
judging the contest. Also thanks to GEx, Editor Dave, and Feralidragon for their efforts 
as well. Lastly thanks goes to ASLYE702 who actually started the whole idea of havng a 
contest at UT99.org in the first place :) All that followed led to the UT99.org 2012 Xmas 
mapping comp.

Well that's it - Hopefully I haven't forgotten anyone.	  

Cheers
FNB
