******************************************************************

The map file for Pyramid of the Magician is supplied as is and
probably with the odd mistake or two buried in it. It is certainly
not to be treated as an example mapping standard/guide or some anal
exercise in how to map correctly. please bear that in mind when
looking at the map source file.

map_editor.pk3 resources

TEXTURES/SOCKTER

This is a collection of all the editor textures which were used in the
production of the map "Pyramid of the Magician" for Q3. These textures
do not need to be distributed with a final map product. They are
designed to make the production of the map easier to see/understand
in the editor only.

There was small amount of resources that was not used in the
original map but has been included in this zip file. They will
require the relevant shaders to be created correctly, but the
original map shaders should offers some clues on what to do.

MAPS/ASE

This is a collection of all the models which were used in the map
"Pyramid of the Magician" for Q3. Some of the ASE's started life
as LWO but for ease of use they were all converted to one format.
This format allows for custom brushwork to be rotated/scaled easily
in the editor. It is also useful for maintaining texturing
information so objects can be textured at weird angles easily.

******************************************************************
******************************************************************

PLEASE NOTE: The texture used in this editor pack are not to be used
under any circumstances in any commercial products. YOU are not allowed
to make any money directly/indirectly from their use.
This situation is not open to discussion and if I find them in
any commercial product I will insist they are removed.

I believe that if someone is paid to make artistic resources for
computer games, THEY should do their job professionally and
not steal resources from the community.
