--------------------------------------------------------------
 Important Note:
--------------------------------------------------------------
There are two versions of the map in this archive:

1. CTF-AMC-BigAndUgly-UTR (uses UTR Xpickups)

2. CTF-AMC-BigAndUgly-NW  (uses Normal UT Weapons)
The Normal weapons version removes XPickups and replaces each 
with either a UT pickup or a pathnode. This version is intended 
for those who prefer normal UT weapons and gameplay. Also this 
version can be used with Nali Weapons or other mods that might 
not be compatible with XPickpus.

--------------------------------------------------------------
 IMPORTANT NOTES:
--------------------------------------------------------------
THIS MAP ASSUMES UT-GOTY (UT version 436) which already includes 
Epic BONUS packs.

INTENDED UT RENDERING DRIVER : 
OpenGL (UTGLR32) or later 
Late model D3D driver should be ok 

INTENDED UT BRIGHTNESS SETTING : 
5/10 (Press "F11" key when in-game). Monitors vary, so adjust to preference.

DESCRIPTION:  

Giant Space based processing station got smucked by an asteroid and tumbled 
off into deep space. The crew couldn't fix the problem and decided to play 
CTF matches until someone figures out what to do... okay - that's all I got :P

THANKS AND CREDITS:

Thanks to PaperCoffee for accepting the map for the AMC contest. Although I don't expect to win 
I do hope the map might turn out fun for players. I have provided TWO versions of the map so
players can have an option to play with XPickups, or with Normal Weapons if preferred. The 
Normal Weapons version should work okay with the Nali Weapons mod, however I did not test  
the mod with the AMC version.

Many Thanks to JackGriffen for hosting the beta map on his server. 
I played the map online and played some of the other maps available there. Great!!!
I think the big 'ol ctf might be just light enough to work online! 

Thanks to OjitroC for discovering the swJumppads fix, and JackGriffon, Barbie, Red_Fist and 
sektor2111 for input on the fix.

Thanks to sektor2111 for SmartAlternatePath actors fix. Property adjustment and script modifications.
Thanks to him for being patient and explaining his fixes to actor and why. Much appreciated :) 

Many thanks to Swanky, R3plicant and DarkSonny for gameplay and appearance feedback and suggestions.
I didn't do everything suggested, but did do some things - might do more a V2 in future :) 

Hope I didn't miss anyone --- :D

Thanks to any Other folks who downloaded the BETA maps but did not provide feedback.

Please download the FINAL version and delete the old beta maps. The FINAL is more worthwhile. 
 

Suggest brightness F11 = 5/10.  OpenGL.  11 - 15 masterful or Inhuman BOTs 
(so teams of 6 to 8).  The higher difficulty is more for the human. 
A human can avoid the bots pretty easily, and the lowest level makes 
things even easier.  

THANKS TO UT99 FOR HAVING THE CONTEST!!!
LOOKS LIKE MANY EXCELLENT MAPS ARE ENTERED!
GOOD LUCK TO ALL CONTESTANTS!
LONG LIVE UT-99 :) 
(STILL THE BEST UNREAL TOURNAMENT)  


Feedabck or comments always welcome!
Hope you enjoy this map!

Cheers
