Extended description:
--------------------
Viridian is one of the most underestimated maps of the Unreal Tournament bonus packs.
It provides a small level, well suited for 1 on 1 action.  The origional was a bit 
unbalanced due to the pulse/minigun ammo placement.  This remake fixes that and a few 
other imperfections, and hopefully updates it to the current engine, without overally
changing the architecture.  The atmosphere has been extended from what the origional was
TO ME.  If you disagree, make your own.  Note that the atmosphere depends on a large 
number of emitters (the smoke and fog effects).  If your performance suffers, as it will
on lower end machines (below 1ghz cpu) then it would behoove you (look it up) to turn your
world detail down to normal.  This will remove the emitters, and drastically help 
performance.  The level is optimized as much as my ability allows, but unfortunately, I 
can't sacrifice a beautiful environtment for the lower end machines; you will appreciate
it when you upgrade.  If you like what you see, drop me a line, or hunt me down at the 
ATARI forums.  I have an under-developed super ego that could use some random compliments
and excesive fan mail.  I have attenion-whored this map as much as humanly possible, but 
more compliments are always welcome.  


Author's Notes
--------------
Many thanks to all those involved.  First, to Rich 'Akuma' Eastwood for making the map to
begin with.  Secondly to EPIC for improving their engine, and selling so much freedom and
creativity for such a low price.  To the ATARI forum members: Gui for letting me bother you
countless times for opinions/advice, Teddie for the good words of advice, Helios for helping
double check my optimizations, and all of you who have supported and helped me make this
map what it is.  This is my first map, and without their feedback, you wouldn't have 
wanted to download it.  Thanks to Power and Nighty for hosting my endless supply of lame 
beta's and letting me waste bandwidth, and sorry if I offend either of you for using your 
names in the same sentence.  Also note:  Both bonus packs are required for this map.  
If you're on dialup, get a download manager (getright, download accelerator) and download 
small portions each day. You'll have it in no time.  If you're not on dialup, and you STILL 
dont have the bonus packs, then whats your excuse?  It's FREE stuff!  GO!  GET!  Now!
