Credits: Many thanks to Mattias Ekh for his great maps DM-Exor and CTF-Exor, upon
which this map is based, and for graciously granting me permission to use them.
Kudos also go out to Puma and Wet Chicken for steering me in the right direction and
to Mysterian for her comments on the map's aesthetics. A special thank you to Dale
"Hobi-Wan" Hobil for pointing me to the "Slippery Surfaces" tutorial and to John
Carpenter for the creepiest musical score ever written. 

...and a huge THANK YOU to [DC] Scratch (Nate Overstrom) for the fantastic
"Caretaker" cat graphic!

Extended Description

--------------------

Evil Exor is a holiday special designed for the Halloween season. It will run on the
Stuffed Cats Inc. Server, at IP: 129.113.170.56, from September 5, 2001 until
November 1, 2001. It will then disappear until next year. Other server admins may
run the map whenever they feel like it. With the exception of a few added pick-ups,
the placements and locations of weapons and power-ups are indentical with CTF-Exor
and the game-play is roughly the same. 

This map is about creating a dark and creepy environment in which to play a game of
UT CTF. It is very dark in most of the zones. The map contains 8 searchlight
pick-ups which respawn every 5 seconds. In other words, there will never be a
shortage of searchlights. There are 4 on each side of the map. Two are difficult to
find and get. The other two are more easily located, but you can die getting either
one if you make a mistake or approach them in the wrong manner. Each side also has 2
flashlights located at the 2 darkest spawn points on each side of the map. These are
easy to find and completely safe to pick up, but they only have enough battery power
to last for about 45 seconds...i.e. they will light up long enough to let you find
your way out of the spawn zone. 

CTF-Exor has always had the toughest bridge to cross in the game. I have left
Mattias' "Assault Rifle" in place in the towers, so if you ever wanted to know what
the sniper rifle would be like if it worked like a machine gun, here's your
chance...It'll fire those 50 rounds as fast as you squeeze'em off...:-) 

The only final note I want to add is that in a heavy fire-fight, it's easy to get
turned around on the bridge. If you get disoriented, check the towers. I've place a
pulsing blue glow in the sniper's nest on the blue side and a red glow on the red
side. The map is best played in a dark room with the sound effects and music
cranked.
