* Notes *

The layout is heavily influenced by Andrew Smith's "The Elektra Complex" and Paul "peej"
James' "Strafin4: Celebrity Deathmatch". As such I've tried to keep corridors as short as I can.

* History *

v0.x: Attempted design as a concrete-and-metal edifice. Couldn't actually get anything that
looked right though.

v1.0: Grabbed "The Elektra Complex" and began to be inspired.

v1.1: First room completed bar the shouting.

v1.2: Added second room, placed RoS in tricky location. Was held up by a "Leafportals saw into
Leaf" error until I fixed an architectural detail that was bamboozling the compiler.

v1.3: Tore out over-complex roof on the first room and replaced with less fiddly "skylight".
Added third "outdoor" area. Began to be dogged by portals gettin' "clipped away".

v1.4: Stuck in a cave-type corridor from the bottom of the first room to the outdoors-ish one.

v1.5: Added last room.

v1.6: Fixed ceiling in one room, added armour/weapons spawnpoints, more lighting and an
RL/RA trap. Split corridor in order to speed up play.

v1.7: Added ammo and DM spawnpoints. First playable beta.

v1.8: Rejigged textures to use E1M5 (Gloom Keep) texture set. Added some detail brushes. Fixed
access to the RL/RA trap room.

v1.9: Added extra corridor from outside to lower level; extended one spiral staircase likewise.
Put a block in the middle of these outside-to-lower-level corridors to break them up a bit.

* How to Use *

Extract the BSP to ID1/MAPS as per usual, and run it from the console a la MAP RCDM6. After
this disgusting soiree you will be slipped over to DM6.
