(The following Template was Taken from Klaus Bruer's Build FAQ 0.4) ==================================================================== Title : The Abysmal Girders Filename : girders.map Author : Ahmed Hammad (aka Spasmo) E-Mail Address : cosc19z5@bayou.uh.edu Misc. Author Info : I won't bore you, you just want the map! Description : This is a deathmatch only map. The game consists a series of rusty girders upon which certain needed items are placed, and various rooms, some of which are dangerous. Note that if you fall from the girders, the diving platforms or the ledge that leads into the lava you WILL die. I have included no protective boots, and no jetpack so there is no way out. If you take one wrong step you will die. Period. End of story. I made sure to make the lava in one of the rooms low enough to look tempting, but the ledges are just high enough so that if you land in there you have no chance of escaping. You will die a slow death. Also items are located in certain spots to force you to go there. And in the interest of fairness, players respawn next to weapons so if you die and respawn and your enemy comes hunting for you, chances are you'll be well armed and ready for him/her. Finally there are 3 ways into and out of any room so as to avoid opponents getting entrenched and hogging stuff up.

Demos Replaced : None * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor Used : Build Known Bugs : There is a tendency for part of the girders to flicker into and out of existence. It doesn't mean you'll fall if you step on them, but it's annoying and nerve-wracking. Can't figure out a fix to this. * Where to get this map * FTP sites: BBS numbers: Other: http://fluffy.neb.net Note: You may not use this map as a base to build other maps.
