Map kitkat_express for HL

======================================================= kitkat_express by DocRock ======================================================= Map Name: kitkat_express.bsp Filesize: 4.2 mb .zip Author: DocRock Author email: docrock64@cox.net Homepage: http://www.planethalflife.com/docrocksmaps/ wadincluded in map: express.wad & express2.wad by babykitkat jotrain.wad by Fat Tony ======================================================= LEVEL DESCRIPTION: Single Player: No Co-Op: No Deathmatch: Yes Suggested Players: 4 - 10 New Textures: Yes New Sounds: Yes New Models: No Map description: An Orient-Express type train map where the train moves along a track, then stops after 5 minutes at a train station. This is a map with large amounts of detail. It runs very well on high-end machines. If you run it on an older computer, you may have slow down and packet loss. R_speeds climb into the low 1000's and framerates may drop. This is an eye-candy map. This train will give you the illusion of movement. After 5 minutes of shaking, passing telephone poles outside windows, train sounds, a train whistle, and moving pictures on walls, all movement will stop, 2 doors will open, and you'll be able to go in and out of the train into a train station. There are 2 secrets in the map, and 3 rats in the map. ======================================================= CONSTRUCTION: base map: None prefabs: Train engine by Fat Tony (jotrain.wad) editor used: Worldcraft 3.4 Hammer utilities used: Zoner's Half-Life compile tools, Paintshop Pro 7, Wally known bugs: If a player spawns in the map after the train has stopped, he/she will still hear the sound of a train on tracks. compile machine: AMD Athlon XP 1600 1.39 GHz 448 mb of RAM compile time: 41 minutes ======================================================= INSTALLATION: Run Winzip and unzip kitkat_express.zip onto your desktop.
