Map Description:   A mausoleum(duh) . I figured that if you were gonna die 20 plus times 
                                   within a 45 minute space , what better place to do it in?
                   Also the "eyes" have it. nuff said there. If you want the Egon or any ammo 
                   from on top of the crates, get the jump pack. You'll need it. 

Known Bugs:        Only one that I am aware of. when running towards a waterfall in this map
                   your bullets or buckshot leave bubble tracers. I have tried to 
                   fix this and have had no luck. It does'nt seem to have any effect on gameplay
                   and quite frankly looks trippy, so I left it. 


Other releases:  Memory1.bsp (rated 7 by Global Assault. I think he was being kind.)

Misc Author info: I am a motion picture grip by trade. In this map I tried to light it as 
                  if I were lighting a set.There were those who said lose all the point lighting 
                  and go with lighted textures. Well, I did, to an extent, but as a motion picture 
                  type guy I find that point lighting best resembles real life.I also stretched 
                  my knowledge of the half-life engine to its limit on this map. I used custom textures,
                  made my own textures, experimented with all sorts of things . The one piece of 
                  information I can hand to you as a budding mapper is: "BACK UP YOUR MAP AFTER EVERY 
                  SUCCESFULL COMPILE!!!". (PREFERRABLY TO A SEPERATE DRIVE)
                                      
                                    Also I learned alot about such things as r_speeds here as well. 
                  Don't believe everything you read in tutorials, as you will no doubt come to learn,
                  not all methods described are optimum where your map is concerned.
                            
                                     Other things I have learned:
                      
                   Carpal Tunnel syndrome is real. 
                   Take a break once in awhile (my wife suggested that one)
                   Stonedog can really hold his liqour
                   DAVROS rocks
                   BARANT also rocks
                   Teleporters suck....... until they work right
                   Unemployment.....ummmmmmm........
                   Clip the skies!!!!!!!
                   One missing period (or space ) can crash a whole map!!!!
                   Global Assault rocks (especially if I win)
                   DEATHMATCH RULES!
                   God Bless the VERTEX tool
