Description:
=============
Version:
Full (Full -vis)

Gamemodes:
Primarily for CTF or In2tagib CTF but also supports free for all,team deathmatch and tourney modes.

Theme:
Set in a semi open arena with three main locations,two base areas and a midway section.
Plenty of multi level ctf fragging.
This version is set in a mild scif-industrial setting.

Why:
This map was created for the 1.3 patch competiton.Patch created by Grand Nagus and the contest hosted by www.effiles.com.

The competition was for gameplay,so I have used a simple colour scheme,
some fun geometry to frag on and plenty of vertical fighting.

Items included from the 1.3 update are:
1.)Several universal ammo pickups scattered about.
2.)Two "One up" powerups.
3.)6 Rotating doors, however they are not doors but three pairs of spotlights that move,when either a flag is taken or the quad.
4.)Most pickup items can be damaged, however the weapons cannot be damaged along with health,armour and quad.

Recommended ammount of Players: 
Cram as many in as you can for ultimate effect :D

Bots:
Bot supported is included with the map.
This map was built for humans though... lots of shortcuts via rocket jumping ect. 

Hope you enjoy playing it as much as I did making it  :)

Installation:
=============
Extract the pk3 file to your \baseef folder.
Map will appear in respective game modes in the menu or type \map ctf_stuk1 in the console.


FAQ:
It's to bright!!, the lighting is way too bright...
The lighting in the map was created using a winXP machine, there are known issues with nonXP machines having different lighting.
The lighting is set for default gamma "/r_gamma 1" if it's too bright turn ur damn gamma down! :P

When I shoot one of the lights, it goes all flickery..
Most of light textures in the map are decal shaders, thefore if you shoot one with your weapon and it leaves a scorch mark, z-fighting will occur because scorch marks are also decal shaders,something I can live with... decals rule. :P

Asset Credits
===============
I've gone for a simple colour scheme using Evil Lair's texture set 8 as the base set of textures, combined with a couple from his older sets and a few modified EF textures like the borg piping with ctf colours.

All evil's texture directories have been appended with "stuk_" to avoid any conflict with other users of evil's texture sets and in no way signifies that I made them.
I have modified some of EL shaders to include things like decal versions of some lights ect.

Textures found in the stuk_ctf1 texture folder consist of modified EF textures for ctf purposes,Sock's sky editorimage and a couple of modified EL textures. I converted the r_light texture to blue and red versions.

The "Mud River"sky textures and editorimage was created by Sock, his full readme is included into the root of the pk3.
