Errr, just copy all the folders from the persia folder in the zip into your valve folder, and the job is done

Stunning, at least the screenshots are. I tried to dl it but I dont feel like moving all of your files to the right directories. It looks nice but I dont feel like spending time moving all of the files out the persia directory into the right ones. Nice. <br> <br>-JMW

My comments from the forum thread, after a 5 person playtest... <br> <br>CJ's "Persian Letters" has more potential than pretty much any other DM map I've seen, but in its current shape it leaves quite a bit to be desired. Anomalies such as func_illusionary handrails with no clip brush, or seemingly solid bits of rubble that you can fall righ through, detract quite a bit from the stunning first impressions. It runs like a dream considering the awesome grandeur and detail, and while gameplay was hampered by some questionable weapon placement (which can be attributed both to CJ's original plans for a non-DM game mode which has so far failed to materialise, and no doubt lack of time) the layout and z-axis combat mean this could be one hell of a player as well as a looker.

A list of cutout content due to constraints / BSP limits:
- Dynamic King of the Hill gameplay; each area had a pad, and the hill would randomly move every 30 seconds. Had to remove due to allocblock:full error. Also conveniently solves the problem of finding other players to fight in the giant map.
- Water reflections in the Baths area; had to remove to conserve leaves. Looks pretty damn cool though.
- Traps within the palace. Spikes, crushing walls, swinging axes of doom, etc. Cut out for allocblock:full and to conserve leaves. But would have added an interesting dynamic to the gameplay, or quite possibly become incredibly annoying. Never had time for a playtest though.
- Lots of other cool details and cliff-brushes, deleted to save clipnodes and leaves. Damn map limits!
Assuming I did do a more polished version, I don't think I can add the detail back in, considering the BSP limits. Maybe I'll chop up parts of this map to use in a mini-Singleplayer pack, who knows.
