Description             :The fountain used in the palace
                          entrance, (village 4 bsp), of Hexen 2. 
                          I also included quadri.map in the zip
                          file, to give an example for placement
                          of the fountain.

* Play Information *
                        :none, one mrg file, (and one simple map
                         file, with no monsters, ect.).

Editor used             :BSP/Hexen

Known Bugs              :None ...but placement of the fountain in
                         any map is difficult. The height of your
                         ceiling is very important. If your sky 
                         or ceiling is too low, it will cause
                         problems with the water spray, which
                         causes shadows on the bottom of the
                         fountain pool, (while in the crouch
                         position, especially). Lighting is also
                         very important. If you use the fountain
                         in a very bright area, try the rtex103
                         texture, on the fountain pool bottom. The
                         brighter the lighting, the less convinc-
                         ing the water pool looks. I tried my best
                         to get all the sizes correct, but I 'am
                         sure, some of them may be off a little,
                         and I made some compromises, so the
                         fountain would fit the grid lines, to
                         make the merge file, easy to use.           

Build Time              :6 hrs.... most of the time was used in
                          figuring out the trick, for the clear
                           water, in the fountain pool, not that
                           this is any great secret, but I had to
                           learn.
 
Texture Wad used        :hexen2.wad ...(Hexen 2 textures only)

Note:
     There is a front to the fountain. One lip of the fountain
     head is wider by one grid square. I think I used the correct
     textures, and aligned them, very close, to matching the ones
     in the game. The information about the water spray entity,
     (force of the spray, location, and color of the spray), was
     gathered by unpacking the Hexen 2 pack file, and using a text
     editor, on the bsp file, (village4.bsp). The sizes of the
     fountain, were just a guess, improvements can always be made.

Note 2:
     The map file provided, was just for an example, but you can
     use it for a base, if you like. Forget about crediting me,
     it all belongs to Activision anyway.
