Title            : Dm-TieBay][
===============================

Installation     : DM-TieBay][.unr goes in UT/Maps
                 : DeathStar.utx goes in UT/textures (you will need to overwrite the original if you                       have it because this file contains one new texture, else the map won't work!)
                 : SWpf.uax goes in UT/sounds (again you will have to overwrite the original if you have                    it because many sounds were added to it else the map won't work!)
                 : Mos-Eisly.utx goes in UT/textures, this file is the same as the original.   
                 : SW1.umx goes in UT/music, this file is the same as the original.

Description      : A remodeled version of the now infamous BadKarmas AS-TieBay. 
                   Honestly I can't remember if he made a DM version so I named it ][ in case.

Notes            : This level was inspired by Alcors' most excellent Darth Vader model
                   as well as BadKarmas' most excellent interperetaion of the Star Wars universe.
                   It started out as a simple remod so me and my friends could play UT with all the                        great Star Wars player models/skins out now and turned into a full ordeal ;)
                   The layout lends itself as more of an Arena map, as a lot of the action takes place                     in the main "BAY".
                    I was hesitant to release it with all of the controversy regarding BadKarma
                   and Lucas Arts, (which is BULL), but I haven't got to play it much as my friends                        don't play UT much :( So someone might as well enjoy it :)
                   This is my first map release, I could have done one from scratch, but as I stated
                   before it was initially just for me and my friends and I wanted something quick.                        I wouldn't have done it much different anyway.
                   Hopefully I won't get labeled as a copycat.

Credits to        : BadKarma for all of the great Star Wars maps/brushes, I hope we will see more !! :)
                    Alcor for the Kick Azz Darth Vader model!! :)
                    Justine Wallace for the great Star Wars textures!!
                    My friends, Ironlung, Dizzy Devil, DragonRider, and Lukeheymer (you may see us                          Kicking Your Azz at CounterStrike on any West Coast server >:) For play testing it                      with me, even if it was only once, so far :(

=================================

My 2 cents          : Regarding Lucas Arts and the Star Wars Mega Empire, and the now infamous cease and                       desist order given to Pat "BadKarma" Fitzsimons:
                       Some of us have been fans of Star Wars most of our lives (24 years for me).
                      While the use of copyrighted material without permission is legaly wrong,
                      when something as deeply and emotionally rooted as Star Wars has become to
                      many people and is a big a part of a persons life, giving them joy, hope, and                           inspiration, it is hard to not want to play out our dreams and fantasies through                        art, literature, video games....ect.
                      While we do not OWN the likeness of Star Wars, we have become Star Wars, and it                         has become us.
                       George Lucas, and might I add John Williams, have given us a sort of magic that                        I will always cherish, it's incredible how much it has shaped the lives of so                           many. I only hope they will not take that away from us.
                       A TRUE Star Wars fan.
