Description             : "And Lo, the gods said, 'Let there be a contest, and
			: let he who's art with the bladestaff is greatest be
			: triumphant.' And there was much bloodshed, and much
			: rejoicing. Which is proof that gods have odd senses
			: of humor."
			:
			: Actually, I used to fence Varsity Saber in my high-
			: school, and there was this tourney called 'the
			: Hackunslash', and I thought it would be a good
			: title for a staff-only level, which this is. Anyone
			: caught using the fireball spell will be burnt to ashes
			: with a double-powered-up bladestaff ;)
 
Additional Credits to   : [Cecil] for assistance with the teleporters and
                        : telling me about detail brushes. Goth for ropes and
                        : shrine prefabs :-Þ And of course all those helpful
                        : playtesters, you know who you are, all half-dozen of
			: you or so...

* Play Information *

Game                    : Heretic II
Single Player           : Only to look around
Cooperative             : Not unless you play teams ;)
Deathmatch              : Yes, 2-6 players. Four respawns.
                        
Difficulty Settings     : Not in deathmatch.
New Sounds              : No, but the annoying 'ding' from the lava is gone.
New Graphics            : Not this time around.
Demos Replaced          : I guess- it replaces the demo level I made.

* Construction *

Base                    : haknslas.map (demo version of this same level)
Build Time              : A few hours to upgrade and tweak for final release.
Editor(s) used          : Qoole, HereticEd
                        
Known Bugs              : Ropes sometimes don't work after you teleport till you
			: die and respawn again. I believe this is a glitch in the
			: game itself, but not quite sure. They didn't put ropes in
			: any retail DM levels that I can recall off the top of my
			: head.

Changed in This Version : Removed rotating platforms. Reset detail flag on some
			: of the lower platforms (I traded off VIS time for speed,
			: big mistake.) Darkened it up a bit. Animated chandelier
			: flicker, set ropes to use the chain flag. Fixed teleport
			: damage glitch- there was a brush in the way that got
			: painful. Added some more player starts. Reselected music
			: off the Heretic II CD. Switched the shrines around-
			: everyone knows flames should be damage stuff ;) Replaced
			: Morph Ovum with Lightning Shield. Yes, it's a defensive
			: spell, use it how you will. If you don't have it... run. ;)
			: Probably one or two other things which I forgot.
