INSTALL INFORMATION:

================================================================

PLAY INFORMATION:

This is a 4Fort.  Each team must breach the defences of the other three bases, get to 
the flag chamber and steal any and all flags found there.  Then, scoring by taking 
the flags back to their own base and capturing them in their own flag chamber. 

The lights in the central hub next to each wing indicate which flags are in that base. 

Team gets 2 points every 15 seconds an enemy flag is held / per enemy flag.
No points are given for retaining your own colored flag.
Team gets 25 points for capturing all 4 flags.

Flag carriers cannot enter spawn / resupply rooms and will be killed by the laser beam 
for the attempt.  

The forts only have one main enterance plus sniper deck for enterance.  With players 
spread out over 4 teams, this shouldn't chokepoint things too much considering most 
of the time, games will have only 3 to 5 players per team.
================================================================
NEW IN THIS REVISION:

Had to cut down on the number of models in the map.  The map had about 391 out of a total
possible of 400; but the way Valve programmed their stupid game engine, there are only 
400 or so TOTAL models the client can handle.  Thus, load the map with a few PLAYER and
WEAPON models, and it crashes...

It would have been smarter to have put a limit of 400 on the map, but reserved something
like 450 for the client... anyways;

This "upgraded" version of the map simply has less in-map models.  I removed some windows,
some railings, and some ammo packs to bring the total from 391 down to 361.  This "should"
keep the clients from crashing even in large games.  If not, there will be another point
release and there won't be any windows in the re-spawn rooms anymore...

Sorry about the inconvience, seems like everyone missed this one.  It was only picked up
when it was finally played on servers with a LOT of people (greater than 4...)

 
FUTURE MODS:

Perhaps discover new ways to cut the r_speeds down.  They're a tad bit on the high side 
in some places for my taste.  
================================================================
DEDICATIONS:

This map is dedicated to my girlfriend oni, who gave me the ideas and inspiration to get 
it done.  Without her input it would never have been a reality.  This was originally her
map idea but I kinda took the project over, *blush* oops!  Maybe someday soon, I'll teach 
oni everything about WorldCraft and we'll see a map by her with my name in the Dedications 
section :)

A NOTE FROM ONI:

A lot of work went into the creation of this map, and many many hours of headache and
frustration for both me and Frobozz.  When we found out about the green score bug, we
thought that 4forts was doomed, which deppressed us much.  In addition, this map had 391 
(now 361!) out of 400 entity models.  

Frobozz really wanted to make 8 score boards to keep track of all the flags, but in the end, 
we had to settle for one. The reason for this is that each score board adds 16 entity 
models, and all the rest are used for the map's scoring system (4 flags and 4 teams to 
capture them, with 4 sets of ammo packs, armor, medkits, respawns, and 4 sets of lasers in 
each fort is ALOT of entity models).  

While he did most of the work on the map, I had to put up with his bitching, moaning, and 
lack of roleplaying.  I was the one who had to give him backrubs after hours in front of 
WorldCraft, and I was the one who had to sit and watch TV, and play with my pikachu 
virtual pet *sob*, when I could have been doing better things, like receiveing flowers, 
getting taken out to eat at a nice resturaunt, or at the very LEAST gotten on the computer
and blown people up in TFC.

In conclusion, you BETTER have a good time playing on this map, or I'm going to come and 
blow up your dog with a BIG mirv!!!

Have fun in the happy hunting grounds!
