About the Author/map:
-----------------------------------------------------

This is my very first map mod. This was a huge learning experience for me as I work hard to one day become a video game designer. I am a Senior at DeVry University and began this project with the intention on learning as much as I could on my own about level design. I have come a long way in such a short period of time, but I know I have a lot more to learn. Because this was my very first map I went into this project with big ideas and not fully knowing on how to create everything that I hoped to have in it. Thus many mistakes were made. Also I have not yet completed this map. It is still a work in progress but I have put so much time and energy into it that I needed to submit it the way it was. I am fully aware of all the problems that reside within my map but time and lack of experience would not permit me to fix them all in time. I plan on finishing this map with the following weeks and removing as many bugs as possible. If you have any suggestions or comments on anything from what I could to make it run better or anything feel free to email me. I am open for all suggestions. And I repeat this is my first level mod and I am still learning.

Conversion is a factory that was once a top of the line industry for supplying energy to the world by the use of extracting it from plant life and water. Decades have passed since then and now it has become abandoned and nature has taken back control. The factory is still running although there seems to be no sign of life to be found. 

Map notes: There are many ways to get around this map. The original plans for this map was to have multiple elaborate ways to move around the map giving the player many options. Unfortunately because of my lack of experience and remaining time I was only able to implement a few and barely test them. These include the the fans between the spiral stair rooms, the airducts in the main lobby of the upper most building, and the broken water pipes in the center body of the main building that lead to the basement and the habitat room. I was unable to get them all to work properly and this is mostly due to my lack of knowledge when I originally started this project. There is also one other surprise within the map in which if you activate the main switch in the control room of the main building you will seal all the doors in the Gas Chamber room and unleash a gas that kills all players inside. Their only chance to survive is to run to the small room on the top floor which will be a fight to the death to get to. Unfortunately this was also added at the last moment and has not been properly tested either.
