Map Description

RELEASED AUGUST 2004. People's Choice of 2004 Snarkpit Competition.
To install: open "persia" in the .zip, and extract the 5 or 6 folders into "valve". I don't know why it's even in "persia", I'm stupid.

When I played Prince of Persia, what really stuck out for me was the level design. All of it was very seamless and connected - you had a genuine feeling of where you were going throughout the palace and it all seemed like one place. Flash forward a few months. I slave away at the last second and barely pump out a map for the competition. I'm such an idiot!

You can just run up the slope, but it takes ages.

Finger and I found one earlier CJ - the open passageway with the 357,
overlooking the gardens, can be gauss jumped out of easily. Now to find
the remaining two...

is there another way out of the area with the waterslide thing that pushes you back down? i could only get out when i had the longjump item, and that isn't available when you spawn there.

In HLDM you only ever lose 10 health from fall damage, no matter how high the drop.
Laaaaame!

Err, I hope no one falls down in the 3 other dropable-areas then... :smile:

Campaignjunkie - You are a god amongst non-segmented worms.
Err I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean but I'll take it as a compliment I guess. :sailor:

Err, yeah, see, I thought it was high enough for people to die from. My
bad. There was originally a trigger_hurt there, but that was causing
allocblock:full errors. Plus that Baths area is a deathtrap since you
have to slowly run up that waterfall to get out anyway. See? Wasn't
lying when I was saying there were bugs everywhere! :smile:

There is a big hole in the wall where you can jump out...
...it is kind of odd to fall out of the map but not die...
