Basic Info:
Created for the August-September 2011 JK3Files mapping contest. It lays out my secret

Extra Stuff:
This map consists of two buildings. The simpler one is the hanger, and it has 1 room.
The other structure is the base itself, all 3 floors. The top floor is a greenhouse
for growing of food plants. The ground floor is the functioning part of the base,and
contains the power generator, air purifier, heat system, fresh water still,
communications panel, and two airlocks. The bottom floor is the living quarters,
complete with: a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom, a storage room, my bedroom, and
a guest bedroom. The sinks and bathtub fill with water, and the toilet flushes. There's
a big fishtank (or attempt at one, at least) in my personal quarters. There's 1 secret
room in here, and it contains the currently-broken lift to the secret underground
training facility, as well as some of my planetary invasion plans. Good luck and enjoy.
Known Bugs:
- I was unable to get the soundfiles for the toilet, bathtub, and sinks working, so
they operate silently (hey, it's the future).
- I also was unable to get the world music to play. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
- The toilet, sinks, baathtub, and hanger doors may not work the first time hitting
the switch. If they don't, hold the button downa bit longer. This seems to help,
at least on my computer. After the first time, they don't seem to have any issues. The
toilet seems to be the glitchiest.
- The water is colored black due to the map's ambiant lighting (or rather, lack thereof).
- The water in the tub acts as a solid brush instead of water (you can't walk inside of it).
This seems to have been an on-and-off probelem, however it compiled, working sometimes, not
working at others. This'll be fixed with the expanded release.
- If you find any more, please let me know so I can fix them.
