Cliffside Compound
WARNING: THIS IS NOT A RUN AND GUN MISSION.
This is a stealth mission designed with evasion as the forefront gameplay aspect.
It is possible to complete this mission without firing a single shot, or collecting any weapons.
It is short and sweet.

This Beta release includes HDR lightmaps (full compile) but no cubemaps have been built as I'm still experiencing glitches.
So i've left them out to lighten the megabytes.
LDR mode works perfectly fine (as the screenshots demonstrate).
The skybox uses the Lost Coast HDR sky (again, HDR is available, but you must buildcubemaps yourself).
I've left it out to discourage HDR at this point.

There are no leaks in this map and the water has been trimmed.
I have left some things unfinished for the explorers to find.

It has been playtested on a lower end machine than the design box. It works very well.

Enjoy!

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.

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.
Why snark works.
