Description             : This level has been made for the QuakeCon 97 DM Map
                          Contest, that is, for a 1 on 1 tournament play. It
                          satisfies all the required features: there are NOT either
                          power-ups or secret rooms or places to hide. Items are
                          placed wisely and the map is built for allowing a very
                          intensive DM where opponents have to be able to do circle
                          strafing, jumping and rocket jumping as well.I took care of
                          NOT adding any useless "brushes" preventing you from an
                          high speed game, this map runs as smooth as silk even on
                          GLquake and you will NEVER end up stucked on a wall, even
                          running backward. 
                          The rocket launcher is kinda useless in the "open" areas, a
                          good player can always kill you with a supershotgun.
                          This map allows a fair play, the individual skill is the
                          key. Let's go to kick some ass now!

Do you hate the rocket launcher? Would you like to play my map with
the Hipnotic's weapons? If both answers are "yes" i've got good news for you.
I've added 4 .map files, each of them contains a different list of entities
so that if you like you have the possibility of playing "The Blue Death"
with 4 different weapons dispositions:

- hipnotic.map ---> Clear, isn't it? Of course you also need the Mission Pack One
- quad.map     ---> For substituting the RL with a Quad Damage
- megajump.map ---> It will add a new cool power-up, of course you also need the "megajump"
                    patch for getting working. It's avalaible on: http://quake.shiny.it/
- default.map  ---> For getting back to the original disposition

Updating map's entities is very easy, all you need is the QBSP utility
(you can d/l it from http://quake.shiny.it/) and all you have to do is
to follow a few steps. For instance, if you want to play "The Blue Death"
with the Hipnotic's weapons then you have to:

i) put both QBSP and hipnotic.map under the same dir where the bdeath.bsp file is
ii) rename the hipnotic.map file to bdeath.map
iii) run a dos-prompt and type: qbsp -onlyents bdeath

That's all!

Any comments, suggestions and/or REQs are welcome.
Really, any feedbacks will be greatly appreciated:
