Title: The Big Room Filename: Bigroom.bsp Author: Chris Hedberg e-mail: chrished@microsoft.com Description: Only one hint: That big object in the water is a spoon. You should be able to figure out the rest pretty quickly with a little thought. Credits: Worldcraft is God and Ben Morris is the prophet! ID Software; The guys on the Excel team for playtesting the sucker; KillMe for making inspiring levels. ============================================================= *Play info* Single player: I *would* have, and still will do it, but only if somebody will make me a 200-foot-tall Shambler. ;) Co-op: Nope. Deathmatch: Should be good for from 2 to 7 players. Has around eight starts, but they're mostly off the ground, so telefrags shouldn't be too frequent. Difficulty: Nope, since no 1p or co-op. Requirements: Very high. See notes below. This map isn't appropriate for low-end machines. *Construction* Base: From scratch. Build Time: Total: probably four weeks. This due to numerous rebuilds, confusions and "learning experiences." It's my absolute first level ever to see the light of day. Time to light: 111 seconds. Time to VIS: 49823 seconds (yes, that's almost 19 hours!) Editor: Worldcraft. RVIS and ArghLight used to compile. Known bugs: None known. If you find one, tell me! Comments: This level has *massive* grey-outs. Setting R_MaxSurfs = 2000 or so and R_MaxEdges = 5000 will clear them up. Yes, this level's very poorly speed-balanced. Don't send me mail about it! I started this level when Thred was still V.0.6. It was a heady and hopeful time. I've tried since then to get it under control, but can't think of anything to do to it that'd save it without clobbering the effect. I'm submitting it to the 'net because it's been requested by so many friends. It's a *very* fun romp, even if it's hopelessly broken on a practical level. The floor's mostly boring except for the heat vents, but what can you do with a floor? ;) If anyone wants to make me some ants, send me mail! Enjoy, and don't take it too seriously. Next project: The Kitchen! ;) * Legal Stuff * You may distribute this level freely, as long as you do not profit from its distribution and you include my text file.
