Basically the DM-Only version of Fountain which features the same level structure of its SP counterpart, with the expection of the China Bar removal and the addition of some other miscellaneous rooms. Unfortunately, the level is still infected with oversizing and misalignment issues, which gets to bother the player a bit. Plus, the level is a bit large so at least more than four players will help make this DukeMatch enjoyable.

Description : If you think you know this map 'cause you played
"Fountains"...think again!! ;-)
Terrific arena for Dukematch (the more players,
the better!) Features: A cab (ok, a platform :) )
that takes you around the city, a city park with
'dancing waters', 4 rooftops, an apartment or 2
overlooking the park (great for ambushes), hidden
apartments, vents, 5 transporters, and 1 bridge.
Nice open areas to run and frag in...plus more
confined places for sniping! I really tried to
create a sense of balance here. There are no
'perfect' places to sit and shoot from. Every
place on this map has its good points and
weaknesses.
Time To Build : Not sure (Did "Fountains" first, then worked
backward for the DM version)
Additional Credits to : Ralph Terry (cobra29[at]ix.netcom.com) for helping me
test drive this puppy.

Base : New level from scratch
Editor(s) used : Ken Silverman's BUILD Editor
Known Bugs : These aren't really 'Bugs' as in mistakes, just
a couple of limitations of the BUILD engine that
you should be aware of:
1) That strange flying square thing you see up in
the sky is just the "roof" of the cab. The only way
to camoflage it against the sky is to parallax it...
and you *know* what happens when you parallax the
roof of a moving sector, don't you? ;-)
(BTW: Yes, I _did_ try changing the palette)
2) Teleportors do NOT work under water.
I have 5 of them there, though. This was done by
creating seperate sectors (the teleporters) within
other sectors ("air" space). I did this because
when I had the teleporters without the "air" space,
they would only work one time and then quit. As a
result, you may find yourself hurtling to what
appears to be your doom after jumping into the
lake (Only if you enter just over a teleporter).
It's very rare but, in case it does happen,
Just move straight in any direction and you'll
swim (just try it; you'll see what I mean). The
overall effect was worth this; and I actually like
the way the teleporter shafts worked out - kinda
sneaky! ;)
