Description             : Deathmatch Quake II Level

This is an arena-style level.  The main area has a cross-shaped area cut
into the floor with a roof over it.  There is a crack all the way around
it, just wide enough to shoot through.  Above this, there are two
rafters with powerups on them.  They would be great sniping spots if it
weren't for the lasers scanning the area.  Below it all is a small area
where you get a brief chance to catch your breath.  But the only exit
from the basement leads right to the heart of the action...

All weapons are present here.  It is intentional that there is a BFG
with plenty of ammo.  The size of the map makes it easy to dodge the
blasts and only take a minimum of damage from the rays.  And besides,
there are plenty of other weapons to choose from.

I recommend playing withOUT the deathmatch option "weapons stay".  There
are enough weapons laying around that there is always something
available, and this forces people to actually choose a weapon based on
what's currently there.  Also, you get some great central action waiting
for the BFG to spawn.

* Running the Map *

Put Ankle3.bsp into your maps directory (Quake2\baseq2\maps).  Run
Quake2, and bring down the console (by pressing ~).  At the console,
type "map Ankle3".  The game will start.  For multiplayer games, start
the game first.  Then bring down the console and enter the map command.
Each player must have the .bsp file in his/her map directory.

* Other Info *

This is the 3rd version of Anklebiter.  The original was a very fun,
very simple, and fast-paced Doom II level.  The second one was my
first Quake level, and featured horrible poly counts.  I've redone it
again from scratch, and kept it very true to the first Quake version,
but with approximately a 40% reduction in poly counts.  The counts are
quite reasonable, but as with any large area it bogs down a bit when a
lot of players are fighting in the same place.  Still, it plays pretty
well.

Bsp/Vis for Q2 suck eggs.  Big stinky ones.
