Map Description

This map is currently receiving heavy love in an effort to cure it's HDR glitches and re-release will include more aesthetic crap. Huzzah.

This map is effectively two parts but in the interest of getting it out there I will call this a complete piece.
As it stands it has been playtested extensively and works very well on several machines.
There are HDR lightmaps (full compile) but no cubemaps were built as I am experiencing errors therein.
The cubemaps display mostly correctly, but not all. buildcubemaps if you wish.

The gameplay is solid, but this is not a Run and Gun mission.
It is NOT a Run and Gun mission.
NOT a Run and Gun mission.

Take it slow, explore the area, and make sure you don't overthink it.
Fans of Thief should enjoy this greatly.
The shadows do not hide you, but cameras can be doused with the shotgun

Nearly all obstacles can either be avoided or destroyed.

I don't see any reason for not having proper cubemaps in any public release, beta or not.

Sounds nice though, I'll give it a try!

PS: That's a super-slow download location for the map. It would be nice if you could load it up somewhere else.

Hey, nice to see people creating singleplayer maps. I'll give this a try when I get a chance.

Check out our snarkpit 'map from base' competition.... we just finished round 2 (yet to pick a winner), and will be moving on to round 3 soon.... we need more participants,so check it out.
