		Different DM architecture for each to improve and streamline play.

Installation:

Extract and/or copy all the maps to your QUAKE\ID1\MAPS directory, 
then run Quake using the "+map" extension by typing:

QUAKE +MAP jhhub6

You can also run the map by entering "MAP jhhub6" from the console.

=======================================================================

Gameplay:
The DM centerpiece of this set is mvroom6: The Chamber of Pain
I am quite pleased with the playability of this map in single and DM modes.
Beginners and keyboarders seem quite satisfied with their skill at this map, 
but there's still plenty of opportunity for rocket jumps, etc...
This map is deliberately small to be suitable for 2 or 3 player DM.
The single player component was added during construction because the heat walls
needed to be lit in a room underneath the main play aera.

=========================================================================

Other info:
Jhhub6 - The Unholy Shrine - was started out of a need to create a start 
map/skill select for mvroom6. Initially I just threw it together in five minutes, 
but after completing gostown7, I wanted to make it a little nicer. I upgraded 
the quality of the map in one night over the course of about 8 hours. It is still 
too small for real DM play but far far nicer than it was in its rudimentary form.
Gostown7 - The Hockey Arena was my third map. I wanted to see how big I could build a level. I 
decided that I should close it up when map size got to be about 1.9Meg. No quake 
C is used for the ice rink.
Mvroom6 - The Chamber of Pain was my second map. I wanted to make a really fun, 
balanced DM map for players on my local LAN.

My first map was The Gibpit, which was suitable only for 
DM experienced players + mousers. (It required rocket jumps for survival). 
It should be available at Mediascape's home page:
www.mediascape.ca Look for the clan link, then levels.

If you like my map then drop me a line, maybe you're looking for a level designer ;-).
