Title : Polaris Outpost 2
Filename : polout2.map
Author : Eric Carl (asbestos)
E-mail : carl@cl-sys.com
Web Page : don't have one
Misc. Author Info : I really enjoy making Duke Maps and listening to
all that wonderful techno/indusrial stuff (KMFDM,
NIN, Front Line Assembly, TKK, ATR, ect...)
Other Levels : Gothmare
Dance
Pirate
(some sucky ones not worth mentoining[I wish I
could spell])
Description : Well, after Duke took out all the aliens all the
places he carelessly nuked had to rebuilt. This is
the re-built polaris outpost called Polaris Outpost
2. Original, huh. Any you run around, kill things,
say "Heh, heh, heh! What a mess!" and win.
Additional Credits To : 3D Realms for the wonderful game, all of my
play-testers, and ESECIALLY Wolf for helping me
out a LOT in the fixing of glitches and skill
levels.
Notes : This map DOES have skill levels and I HIGHLY
encourage you to use them. If it's too easy on
the normal one, then try the next up! If you don't
know how to play the different skill levels, then
look under "Important Notes" at the end of this
template. Also, when you come to the first accsec-
ible vents, they are not a u-turn. There is a drop
in the middle of them that is easily walked over if
you aren't going slowly. You have to go down the
vent to get to the rest of the level.
PLEASE!!! SEND ME MAIL ABOUT THIS MAP! IF YOU LIKED IT, TELL
ME WHY, IF YOU HATED IT, TELL ME WHY!!!

* Construction *
Base : New level from scratch
Level Editor(s) Used : BUILD
Art Editor(s) Used : None
Construction Time : About a month. I stopped for a while, then went
back to again. That's whay it took so long. Oh
yes, if your curious, the map was officialy
finished in my opinion on 2-22-98. Just in case
you wanted to know how old it was.
Known Bugs : Ok, Here we go:
1.) The forcefields on the windows change pall-
ette after using the first teleporter, I
couldn't use inv. forcefields because I was
running into too many problems.
2.) The transport on the right flashes or diss-
appears for a second when you walk on it, but
it doesn't hurt you anyting, so don't worry
about it.
If anyone finds more, mail me. If anyone might me
be able to fix any of the above, mail me.
* Where to get this MAP file *
File location : Wherever you can find it. You can get my others
by mailing me and I'll send them to you.
!Spoilers! : This is the Spoiler section in case you are stuck
in the level.
1.) If you can't find the yellow key card, it is
in the hull of the large ship outside.
2.) If you can't find the switch for the last
silver door, it's at the top of the dock-
ing bay by the red windows.
3.) Here is an easy way to take out the reactor
without getting hurt. After you pick up the
first RPG just shoot at the reactor from the
way you came in. You know, after you went
down the lift and down the hall and you see
the reactor. Just shoot at the window. Most of
the time it works, but sometimes it doesn't.
=====================================================================
*Important Information*
Installation : Just like any other duke user map. To use the
skill levels, type this at the dos prompt:
duke3d -map bspace1.map /s#
# being the skill level, 1-4
Important Notes : Ooga!Booga! >:-8 This level will be fairly tough
if you don't find all the secrets or don't take
advantage of the fountain. Use the fountain! It
really helps.
