Map Info
	File Name dm-ucmp-xanadu.zip Author ArcadiaVincennes Gametype UT2k4 Deathmatch Date Added 04-23-2005 File Version 1.00 File Size 23.31 mb Player Count 6 - 10 Map Description The trees gently sway in the breeze. The lanterns and their shadows slowly swing. The fireflies are out and the leaves are falling. What path will you follow in this Xanadu dream? Glory, or the gentle rocking of your dead body in the stream? Inspired by the Smauel Taylor Coleridge poem 'Kubla Khan' Feedback is always appreciated. Positive or negative. A medium/large DM map. Weapons may be hard toi find at first but if you give the map a chance, layout memorization comes easy and learning the layout will greatly enhance your experience. This map is eyecandy > gameplay. I realized this well after development started so I had to make a choice to almost start from scratch or continue on. I chose to continue on. The framerates are certainly not retail-quality but turning world detail down will help. There's some good gameplay up on the roof. Please pay attention to all the moving parts - the falling leaves, the swaying lanterns, the moving shadows from the lanterns, the swaying doors, and the lightning bugs. I hope you enjoy. 147 movers 300 emitters 722 Blocking Volumes 2363 static meshes custom meshes in mylevel custom textures in mylevel custom music optimization: priceless Credits: Too many to list here, please see readme.

Kantham 04-24-2005 12:46 AM MDT   a pleasure to download a map of yours arcadia. The file size is kinda big though. Fuzzy Logic 04-24-2005 04:45 AM MDT Rating: 8.5   Had this a while as part of the map pack. Great map well put together with barely a flaw to be seen. Gameplay requires a lot of z movement from ground to roof and back - speed is really useful here. This is a big map, so you'll need quite a few bots in there... ArcadiaVincennes 04-25-2005 10:15 AM MDT   Thank you! Kantham - it's big download because it's a large DM map, a fair amount of terrain, a lot of custom textures, and a fair amount of custom meshes - plus the custom music track. I hope you enjoy it. Fuzzy Logic - thanks for the generous score. It did turn out larger than I intended but I think it gives a large variety of strategies to use even though gameplay isn't its strongest aspect.
