This is my first map (that i sucessfully completed without it going wierd on me ;-) for Quake II. After hearing numerous accusations that Quake II is "too dark" I thought I'd show that it's up to the map maker if (s)he wants it dark or not, and so "Crystal Tower" was born. I was learning as i went with this map, as that will explain why some things aren't in this map (water for instance). It's intended as a DM level. Though i do plan on making some 3TCTF/CTF maps in the future and maybe a SP adventure down the road.

Feel free to distrubute this provided that this readme file is kept intact with it.

Have fun!

Known Bugs/Querks/interesting things: 

#1 You can get stuck if you jump off the tower (in an attempt to retrieve the chaingun/red armor) and land in the space b/t the spear and floor, if you're lucky, you'll have a RL to blast yourself free, if not, ask somebody to rail you ;-)

#2 Going down the tower requires you to duck on the second highest level, (connecting platform is low) this is intentional, put it in because i can ;-).

#3 Areas that are very dark are dark for a reason (read:explore ;-P  ).

Special Thanks: 

The STATIC clan for testing and helping me beef up the powerups (they were a bit sparse originally) to add to the chaos.

And to everyone who has encouraged me with words of support and the occasional (oh whoah cool!).

Additional Notes: Since i build and tested this on a TNT system, I'm not sure how all the lighting will look with other setups,  so be forewarned.
