Description	: An ice slide jump map that makes use of a couple circular tiers and a circular jump.
Instructions	: Unzip to the Quake2\BaseQ2 directory (or to Quake2\Jump).
Thanks		: id Software for Quake2.  Armin Rigo and others for QuArK.
		  n00k!e for the sweet jump demos and for being an inspiration to the whole jump community.
		  cr33pz, fish, Kropp, kr3w, _PLAY_ & others for help with jumping and various other testing.

* Construction *

Base			: None (from scratch)
Editor(s) Used		: QuArK 6.4.1 Alpha 3, WinBSPC v1.4
Known Bugs		: The last jump will occasionally only launch you about 1/3rd as high.  This is a Quake 2
			  glitch and not a mapping alignment problem.
System Used		: Windows XP SP3 32-bit, Intel Pentium 4 Core 2 Duo E8500 3.17 GHz, 4 GB RAM
Build Time		: ~100 hours due to all the texture alignment, testing, shortcut removal and lastly
			  the design of the upper section which was eventually scrapped.
Compilers Used:
		BSP	: TxQBSP3	 - by Armin Rigo v1.0 for QuArK floating point perfect texture alignment.
		VIS	: TimVIS3	 - by Tim Smith
		RAD	: ArghRad_3.00T9 - by Tim Wright
Compile Time:
	BSP Time	: 7 seconds
	VIS Time	: 1 seconds	(-threads 2 -level 4)
	RAD Time	: 3017 seconds	(-threads 2 -chop 128 -bounce 48) {I had problems using -extra}
	TOTAL Time	: 3025 seconds

* Comments *

Finally done!  I always wanted to make a circular jump map and here we go.  It took a long time to align all
the textures, mainly because I used a high poly count for the circular sections in order to make them as smooth
as possible.  I eventually added an upper section with a huge funnel that you had to drop through, but the
section would not compile correctly with light using TxQBSP3.  It compiled correctly with light using QBSP3,
but then all the perfect texture alignments were screwed up, so that was out.  I took a break from this map and
made q2dm1_race, lol.  Came back and removed the upper section and made the map a lot harder because I figured
people would complain that it was too easy.  I was dead wrong, the 3 people I showed the map to all said it was
too hard (and annoying).  I made it easier again and now it's done.  I think it's a decent looking map with or
without high-res textures.  So far as the gameplay, it all depends on how much you like ice slide maps.  The last
jump can get annoying because it will occasionally only launch you about 1/3rd as high.  This is a Quake 2 glitch
and not a map alignment problem.  Try to figure out how to get to the ancient head at the lower center of the map.

I added a fake entity so when the map loads you see an error that says:
"The Spawn Of Satan doesn't have a spawn function".  LMFAO

Enjoy.  ~(_:(1)

Pfffst, this game is so old and hardly anyone plays anymore...
Do whatever you want with the map: copy, paste or modify... as long as you're doing
something worthwhile or useful with it.  ;-P
