Title                   : The Lost Tech Center

                          skill level)

Description             : Full Quake map.
                          This level is designed for both single play
                          and deathmatch play.  I've FINALLY finished this
                          level! After many posts on the DMM mailing list
                          about people wanting to play tech-based levels, I
                          decided to create one.
                          I think you'll find that The Lost Tech Center is
                          a pretty fair-sized map with some interesting
                          structures, including the use of event_lightning.
                          This level is also designed with speed in mind,
                          so even with multiple players it should be a 
                          pretty fast playing level.
                          Also of a personal note: The stairway in the level
                          is actually designed based on the main stairway of
                          the Marquette County Courthouse where my wife and
                          I were married.
Additional Thanks	: My deathmatch partner & my wife: Deb
                          Also to Alan Troup (aka: Necrosys)
                          And Astaroth for playtesting.

* How to Use *

Extract both losttec.bsp & tecstart.bsp into your id1\maps\ directory, launch
Quake and type "map tecskill" from the console if you want to select the
skill level before entering The Lost Tec Center. You can also select the
skill level from the console before loading losttec.bsp, if you like.
Additionally, both .bsp files can be run from the command prompt by typing
"quake map +losttec" or "quake map +tecskill".

When running a Deathmatch game type "quake -listen +map losttec".  Do NOT use
the tecskill.bsp map since skill levels are not used in Deathmatch play.


* Other Info *

This level supports single player deathmatch, and cooperative
play.  It has been tested under single play and two-player LAN deathmatch.
It is designed with different height levels for a more enjoyable game!
