Back Story
========
This facility was established initially, as a particle accellerator by the humans in the 1990's.When the Xen rift was opened by
Gordon Freeman and associates, the ensuing chaos led to the combine infiltration. This particular facility was re-designated as a teleportational
destination by the combine, simply because it required the least amount of re-fitting.After Gordon Freemans heroic efforts led to
a Human insurrection, the facility was re-captured and turned into an anti-insurgent Combine training facility.You are here.

Comments
========
I tried to knock a map out in a month, (i.e. my hiatus from work in may 2007), but alas, I just cant do it. I can't bring myself to 
release crappy maps. I am going to stick to the name dm_hiatus though, as I think it's easy to remember. This is my attempt 
to bring killboxers and great mappers together in a simple yet detailed environment.

Re-structured several areas in the interest of gameplay.
Improved connectivity.

Changelog for beta 9

Re-vamped map sounds to hopefully correct certain Linux server crashes.(added source path names and ".wav" at end of each one
I noticed since I did this all the other sound parameters seemed to work more accurately, i.e., volume and distance.

Removed the spinning red lights at each of the arched teleporters. Frame rates went up an average of 40 FPS!!!!!!!!
I hope this fixes the crashing issue with Linux.
