Extended description:
---------------------
EvilHex is a small map that is intended to provide considerable 
z-axis action.

Most of the powerful weapons are down on the lower levels, 
while most of the health and ammo are on the upper levels.
Even though there are very few path nodes, the bots do a 
remarkably good job (even at an Average or Experienced 
setting) of picking me off when I'm trying to return 
upstairs to resupply with more ammunition and/or health.

There is a fairly large central well between the split-levels. 
A fall from Level 5 to the ground floor is fatal unless one 
is wearing jump boots. 

The map is fully zoned (labelled as Levels 0 to 5, with a 
separate zone for the poorly lit lower-ceiling-section of 
level 0 and a small separate zone for the sniper platform
way up on level 5).   In a team game "F1" will reveal the 
locations of all teammates.

This level is a first attempt at using Unreal Editor to create a 
playable map.   Two weeks before completing version 1.1 of this 
map, I had no idea how to use Unreal Editor.   I found several 
tutorials on the web (especially at www.planetunreal.com/) that 
I found to be essential as I fumbled my way into creating 
EvilHex.

The small gaps on the sides of the ramps were originally 
unintentional, but I have retained them as they actually serve 
a useful purpose! 

I chose the splendid track from AS-Golgotha (thank you Grzegorz 
Kubicki) as the music track for this first creation.   

Version 1.2 was rendered necessary because UT insisted that 
various exotic texture packages (that I had used then replaced 
on various surfaces in version 1.1) be present.      
Version 1.3 is almost identical to version 1.1, except that 
only the standard "Egypt" and "ShaneChurch" texture packs 
have been used and the ramps are somewhat better aligned.
All other sounds and textures should be standard.
