Description             : This replaces SS27BETA.WAD which
                         had a few crucial stuffups preventing
                         100% kills etc. sorry :(

                         Ok, ok.. this isn't finished coz deu
                         won't handle files of arbitrary size
                         (yet).  I thought it would be fun
                         nevertheless so here goes.
                         This s'possed to be a level with 4
                         arenas in each major direction...
                         Each arena will have a theme when
                         I finish this (Fire/Acid/Earth/Stealth).
                         At the moment the central sections is
                         done and the arenas are sorta stubbed.
                         This level will be part of an eposode
                         later. It is meant to replace e2m7 so
                         its pretty rough in places (even on
                         the easiest level).
                         It's pretty open with only a few doors
                         requiring keycards. So don't be too
                         concerned if a whole heap of voices
                         rises to meet your gunfire <G>.
                         There are peep holes and ambush spots
                         almost everywhere so happy deathmatch!
                         Most heavy firepower is heavily guarded
                         or hidden. The only easy weapon to get
                         is the shotgun. Also no BFG here (yet).
                         ...and contrary to popular belief plasma
                         gun can be reached.
                         Apart from that this level is mostly hack,
                         slash and ambush type.
                         You DO need to find one secret to finish
                         this level (but it has three hints pointing
                         at it. It's dead obvious from the map).

                         BTW: This *IS* a large file so a grunty machine
                         is recommended. Don't even contemplate a 386.
                         486DX/33 VLB and > 4Mb recommended.
                         If you don't have VLB it *will* be sluggish.
                         If you don't have > 4Mb it will swap like hell.
                         (pun intended)

                         There now go kill something...
                         Send me some hate mail.

                         Yeah right like it's possible to record
                         a 30 min demo on UV ... but if you succeed
                         in less time send me an lmp.


* Construction *

Base                    : New level from scratch (small section (dejavu)
                         borrowed from e1m4)).
Build Time              : Long long way too long. 1 month+. Stopped many
                         times because of memory restrictions of previous
                         (and current) editors.
Editor(s) used          : deu (from 4.31 to 5.1 ... yes 4.31 was useful
                         in debugging node errors of deu 5.0)
                         bsp11x for nodes rebuilding.
Known Bugs              : Where do I start...
                         1) The rocket launcher room has HOM once the
                            door to the altar has been opened. Hope v1.4
                            fixes HOM (HOM sux)....and that room is too
                            cool to change too much... anyway you'll be
                            to busy to notice.
                         2) SKY texture mapping glitch in the west low
                            section in front of the red door. Looks like
                            doom feature... if you know a fix let me know.
                            Also same thing next to ash tower.
                         3) The crushing floor does not crush you to
                            death sometimes. It stops short and you're
                            trapped with 2% health or so. Not very good
                            in deathmatch situation.
                            Mail me your suggestion.

                         Tell me if I made any other stuffups apart from
                         texture alignment.
