* Other Info *

I started this level in august or september using 3ds. I didn't use a grid
which did make things somewhat messy. I was also limited by the keyscript,
although it got me started, I could only use boxes and entities like doors
were only partly supported so I had to edit the .map by hand afterwards.
Working like this I got some errors I could report to the Quakelab.
I finally decided to finish the level with Worldcraft and release it since
it was fun playing it at the office. It's not a great level but the main
hall should provide some nice, clean 3d fun. It's fun with the reaper too.
BTW, there is a secret door somewhere.

Now I have been converted to Worldcraft and am making a new level in
military base style where r_speeds will be kept under 450. It will be 
called 'The Academy' and it will feature 2 difficulty settings, be a cool
deathmatch level and have some extra features for when you're all alone..
