- The .map source file.
- A dev/ folder containing:
+ An immensely useful perl script I wrote to re-version iterations of
each release of this map. You'll wonder how you got along without it.
- Environmental shaders that I welcome the community to harness the techniques
used for maps needing such extreme weather. Snow storm anyone?
- A technique that minimizes the jittery-ness of standing on a func_pendulum.

* Level Description *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dark water. Two ships are amidst a churning sea, with players fighting to
take the other ship. The rain is heavy. The sea is violent. Survive!

This is the next iteration of ut4_raid, where my main goal was to get the heavy
rain working without crashing the server. This time, I was not only successful,
but the rain is truly volumetric in appearance, best it can be in UrT using
shaders (vs particles).

Out of the technology test, a map with gameplay emerged, thanks to
FSK405 Nikki/kitty's suggestion having the cannons on the ship could launch
players.

6vs6 is a likely scenario. If possible, pistols and knives only.

Due to the func_pendulum nature of the ship, climbing to the crow's nest is
impossible. It is possible to get stuck in parts of the ship, though getting
unstuck is easy (or a matter of time until the boat rocks the other way). My
technique for preventing getting stuck is simple: re-enforce the hull. Add
additional layers of hull under the surface, so when collision with the upper
surface fails, the second surface catches the player, sprouting them back to
the surface layer. A third layer is added for insurance.

Models:
- Lt1/BlackRayne http://www.blackrayne.net

** NOTE ** - Please note! The br_ship model was not shadered. I have done so - you'll want to
be aware of this in case any other ship model is affected. No funky shadering,
just standard filtered lightmap. I wanted to make the sails and flag wave...
no dice.


Textures:
- My textures.
- Misc. textures : Anyone's who's textures have circled the net and landed on my shores. I don't
have any other readme's or documents to show what came from where, so I thank
you, the unnamed developer, for your contributions to the community.

Sounds:
- Free sounds from around the net.
