  If the sky doesn't look right, make sure you have your VIDEO - 8-BIT TEXTURE
  set to "NO", this will correct the problem.

  Very Important!
  The following lighting settings were used to create this map:
  set vid_gamma "0.650000"
  set gl_modulate "2"
  set intensity "2"
  You may want to change these settings to in your
  autoexec.cfg or config.cfg file to get the best lighting results on your PC.

 *NOTES FOR MAP*
   Well this map took about 2 months to complete, but I took my time and added some detail
   to it. I think it was worth the effort. I made some modifications to it after the release of the Quake2
   MOD called Awakening 2, which can be found @ http://planetquake.com/awakening2/
   I added the sewer pit at the bottom of the main room, so you can pick up your enemies with the
   new Anti-Gravity Manipulator gun and drop them into it. It's hard to get out of it without a hook.
   This map is now ready to be played on Awakening 2.
   So download this new MOD and try it out, it's really great!

  I designed this map with a neon color theme in mind (Neonopolis). Each main room
  has a colored neon floor and each teleporter has a color that matches with the room
  it transports you to. I thought this was a cool idea. Haven't seen it before.

  This map has a sewer trap, which is activated by a floor switch.
  Make sure you grab the environment suit before you hit the button. he he
  It has a moving platform to an upper deck and 2 elevators.
  The map has a large feel, but with the 3 teleporters, even with 3 players
  you should see lots of action!
  
  Many dark places to hide and camp in this one.
  This map has a rotating sky, which I think looks cool.
  It has every weapon, some more than once. No secrets and
  no invulnerability. Hope you like it!!  
  
  If the sky doesn't look right, make sure you have your VIDEO - 8-BIT TEXTURE
  set to "NO", this will correct the problem.
  
  If you enjoy playing on this map please send me an email at: quake2leray@hotmail.com ,
  I would like to hear from you. Also, please offer it to anyone who may want to use it on
  their Q2 server.
