13. Death2Uall: For Nature Pak 1:
Contents: 10 wavs. Crickets, evening outdoor ambience, three water dripping sounds (like in a cavern), small waterfalls, a small creek and a big ocean surf wav (couldn't cut it down much and still make it loop right, sorry about the file size).
Terms Of Use: No commercial use (just to be safe, I'm unsure of the original source of some of these). Other than that, do whatever you want with them. Just give me a shout out in the read_me.txt to your map/mod and send me a link to it when you're done. ;)

15. Thank you LikketySplit for alerting me to some annoying bot problems, so I could fix them :)
16. Thank you Bill Brooks (The Teamhuh Design Core) for your incredible tutorials that helped me eliminate the nasty sparklie problems I was facing in this curve crazy level of mine!!!

MAP INSTRUCTIONS:***********IMPORTANT!!!***********
1. Unzip TH_helio11x.ZIP and place TH_helio11x.PK3 into your
Quake3/baseq3/ directory.
2. To run this map: At the menu type in "\set com_hunkmegs n"= "n" being a number that represents 3/4 of your system's RAM. I use "\set com_hunkmegs 96" because I have 128 MB of RAM. You have to do this or this level probably will not load for you. Go to your skirmish menu in "TA startserver mode" and look for "Heliotropic Dreams."

1. I found a nasty curve bug, around most of the archways. I was making the archways out of around 8 curves/patch meshes, and I found a way to make them out of only three and totally eliminate the sparklies that were present. This will both cut down on extra drawload, and the sparklie inefficiencies!!!
