This is a map designed for CPMA CTF / NTF gameplay and based on an existing map CP22 (Des Hertogens Hove) by Geit. The overall map size is the same but the mid to base area has been totally changed to have more upper/lower route interaction. The flagroom and side MH room have changed in shape and have more vertical space compared to the original.

The item layout has changed with all the weapons moved to different locations to suit the new upper / lower base areas. The Railgun has been removed from the map and has been replaced with a Grenade launcher located in a small room next to the regen powerup. Some parts of the map have been specifically designed for CPM movement and will be very difficult to use in VQ3.

The texture set is temporary and made from brightly coloured marble patterns with hand drawn black lines to highlight borders and edges. All the item decals are based on simple shapes and designed to work in various picmip modes correctly.

The skybox is based on a frozen landscape which I originally created a long time ago and merged with a cloud skybox by Jochum Skoglund / Hipshot, http://www.zfight.com

The red / blue floor decals can be turned off by deleting the extra pk3 file (silent_1zz) included in the main zip file. The first couple of times a map is played it is often useful to have as much directional help as possible but after learning the layout less visual clues are needed, which is why the markers are in a separate pk3 file.

The lighting for the map is temporary and will be finalized once the alpha phase is over. If anyone feels certain areas are too dark, please let me know which areas and how much brighter you think they should be compared to another location in the map.

The map is designed for human players and will not contain any BOT file until all of the human testing has been finished. If anyone wants to play this map with human opponents I strongly suggest you use IRC and join quakenet - #cpmpickup channel.
