Description	: After a sustained spell of playing CTF I 
		  decided to try my hand at a CTF map. I played
		  it safe with the texture set, Iikka's IKBASEQ3
		  set is exceptionally easy to use. The looks of
		  the map aren't spectacular but I think the
		  layout is particularly nice. It allows for
		  both lone ranger style attacks as well as more
		  strategic coordinated ones. There are plenty
		  of routes in and out of the bases which I
		  think is a must in CTF.
		  
		  This is an updated and slightly improved 
		  version specifically for Quake III Team Arena.
		  It supports all the new gametypes contined in 
		  Team Arena and they all play very well. FFA is
		  also good with plenty of spawn points 
		  included.
		  
		  Hope you have as much fun playing the map as I
		  have had making it. Thanks for reading.

Credits		: The usual thanks go out to Iikka "Fingers"
		  Keränen for his excellent IKBASEQ3 textures.
		  His texture work can be found at:

		  and his maps can be found at:

		  Major thanks also go to Mark "Eggman" Pytel
		  who gave me some great feedback and
		  suggestions, pretty much all of which I took
		  on board and added to the map. They make the 
		  piece a lot more visually interesting. You can
		  find his site at:

		  Thanks also to Metlslime and GrindSpire who
		  gave me some last minute feedback which
		  resulted in a delayed release. Hehehe only
		  joking; their suggestions were good and I made
		  some good minor alterations as a result of
		  them.

* How to Use *

Simply extract the mkbase-ta.pk3 file and this text file into
your Quake III "missionpack" directory. So for me this would be
"C:\games\quake3\missionpack". Once installed the map will
appear in the Start Server menu but NOT in the Single Player 
menu (unforunately I don't think this is possible with Team
Arena).
