**All levels available at ftp.cdrom.com except when noted (#). If you would 

  like a copy of one of these levels, email me and I'll send it to you. Be 

  warned tho, these are early projects that really aren't that great and I 

  only have them up to show a chronology of my work to date



Note 1: This level is an improved version of the level "Proem." There were several

	architectural designs that I changed as well as a few other things that 

	warranted a second release.



Note 2: This is release version 1.1 of Idiodisruptia. This level had a *major* facelift 

	done over the course of about 4 to 5 days that greatly enhanced the overall 

	asthetics of the level.



			  Projects in the works:

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

			  -several levels for the upcoming Quake's World 

			     Total Conversion (http://members.aol.com/temporalq/)

			  -TechnoDisparity Partial DM Conversion

			  			(http://members.aol.com/levelmaker/)



			  In my spare time I work for the US Navy as

			  an Avionics Technician 1st Class with heavy

			  amounts of computer and electronic experience 

			  (I'm getting out after 11 years

			  in November, so I'm pouring on the 'Find a

			  Job' bits when I can ;) )



Description		: This level is slated for use in the upcoming Quake's World

			  Total Conversion project, after new QuakeC and models are added

		          ...This level, along with Ohzarm (ohzarm.bsp) are the "regular" 

			  quake varieties of the levels that 

			  I plan on using in the TC...I feel that these levels will play just

			  fine as standard quake levels, and I plan on expanding them out for 

			  use in the Quake's World TC....



			  As far as a description of the level itself, this level is my shot at 

			  a good base-style level...there are several new textures in use here, 

			  most of which are just textures that I loaded in from Quake/Armagon/DOE

			  into Paint Shop Pro and modified a little bit to suit my needs :) I 

			  went heavy on the beam & rail type architecture, and it works well in 

			  this level...I've also implemented skill levels here, trying my hand 

			  at making a progressively harder and progressively funner level with

			  each skill setting

			                           

Addtl Credits to  :  	*The guys at id for creating such

			 incredibly expansive games such as 

			 Quake

			*Worldcraft, for such an awesome 

			 editor

			*Eternity Game Design - being apart of this

			 group has inspired my creativity in so many 

			 ways that I can't pull myself away from the

		 	 computer ;)

			*And most of all, my wife, for

			putting up with my very annoying

			habit of saying "In a minute..."
