B U G F I X E S & U P D A T E S
-------------------------------------------------------------
Changes since v1.0
- Major Bug fixed in Flag Capture Entities, which would award the
team 10 frags, but the player who brought the
flag back, would not get the frags.
Player who makes the capture, gets 1 frag extra
- Fixed Sniper Nest ledges, which were too high and blocked snipers
firing angle. Now snipers can more easily fire at
oncoming troops.
- Fixed Middle floor windows. They also were too narrow, and players
had a hard time firing through them, and were limited
to long range only, since it blocked most of the
terrain in front of the fort.
- Fixed TF Entities which displayed messages, near computer banks
on the top floor, so players had to be closer to
them. This was to avoid having constant messaging
when you enter the tight space.
- Fixed certain dark areas, which were mostly a real hassle in GLquake.
Such as the respawn entrances and tunnel entrances.
Due to the diminished visibility of those light bars
in GL. This was fixed by adding a very dim light,
which is barely visible in normal play, but makes a
big difference in GL.
- Updated and added usefull info in the OUTPOST2.TXT
- GL VISed with Transparent water.
I had received very few comments from players, I guess everyone
figures someone else will have noticed it. But I would like to thank
the following people who have helped me make this a better map.
Bob Marotte, WildeFire & Ash for his New Maps server, which
enabled me to playtest my map on a real server.
Hopefully with the major bug fix, players will be more inclined
to try it.

-------------------------------------------------------------
This is a variation of the usual & popular Capture the Flag
Team Fortress Maps. Two forts face each other, and two military
forces of space marines struggle for domination.
The action takes place on a remote but strategic outpost. Two
Clans have been able to seize control of the compound, also
making sure their SlipGates will pump a steady flow of reinforcements
as the battle rages on.
------------------------------------------------------------
This map was designed with the player in mind. Efforts were made
to make the map both eye pleasing and interesting in gameplay.
I have taken into consideration many comments from players, and
various web pages, aimed to help map makers create a map that will
interest players of any class and style of play.
Points of interest:
SECURITY SYSTEM Each base has a Security System, which can
be activated and de-activated by any class
from either team. It's easier to destroy than
it is to create.
The security system will also warn of spies, so
keep your eyes peeled.
Unlike many maps, I have made this security
system broadcast the ALARM messages to each
team player, so no one has to just stand there
and stare at some texture.
Here are some usefull details to know.
ON Switch health 1000
OFF Switch health 500
Switch Delays 120 seconds
BUNKERS There are four military bunkers placed in the
courtyard, surrounding the landing pad. They
have their advantages and disadvantages. It
will be for the player to figure out!
THE UNDERGROUND The underground system of tunnels, connects
all four bunkers and offers a way into the
water and sewage system.
THE BRIDGE Should it stay? Or should it go?
In larger games, the underground could play
a large role, since enemies could secure
the bunkers closest to their enemies and
put dispensers and certain personnel such
as medics for before assault ready. Not to
mention scouts will play a more important
role, trying to notify their teams of hidden
troops. The bridge can be both an advantage
and a disadvantage.
Thanks to AsH (AsH@mc.net) I was able to do some server
playtesting, unfortunately I still haven't been able to get
a nice game going with at least 5 players in each team.
I hope players will contact me and share their views and
opinions.
Thank you for your time, and happy hunting!
Your armor is your soul
and your soul's
Dedication it's armor
The soul of a warrior
is the shield of humanity
