Description             : see 'description.txt'
                          
Construction time       : 6 weeks (much of it spent on fighting BSP errors)

Technical notes         : Since the map is fairly large and open, it was
                          not possible to eliminate all BSP errors. I tried
                          to keep the architecture as simple as possible,
                          hopefully it does not look crude. The minimum frame
                          rate is around 55 with an Athlon XP3000 + GeForce
                          6600GT. It is a bit low for my taste, but I could
                          not improve it (too much stuff in an open space).
                          
                          The texture file SPKLiquids.utx contains slower
                          moving water. I made this by reducing the animation
                          speed in 'liquid4' from Liquids.utx. The fast movement
                          of the original looks completely unnatural. I have also
                          added a different water texture which IMO looks better.

Credits                 : I thank Redfist for suggestions, especially for the
                          idea of converting the lower part of the map to a
                          water zone.

Known bugs              : There are a few small BSP errors I could not
                          eliminate. They are visible only at extreme
                          angles not likely to occur during normal gameplay.

                          The bots refuse to take the sniper on top of the
                          box -- believe me, I tried for hours with different
                          arrangments, but no success. Well, there is another
                          one which they do take, so...
