Color Themes page:	http://www.planetquake.com/lordsquart/lsdm17_colors.html

Theme Color Feature:	New feature in this map, you can download different color themes. I created 2 different files
			the first have the essential files (bsp-aas) the second got all media file such as textures ecc.
			For specific instruction on how to create different themes and how to use them please read 
			info_themes.txt included in the zip of the map.If you got only the first file of the map will not 				appear in the skirmish men.

Tip:			If you want to see all the cooliness of this map try to play with antialiasing and with all the 				features of your videocard ON (i use the default brightness of q3 or it is too bright).
			It is made of 90% of patches and can be a bit slow on old computers anyway take a look 
			and comment it :D.

Description:		Here it is ... an exprimental modded version of the great Q3DM17 by Paul Jaquays 
			I made this just for fun =) and i think is unplayable .... can be used for benchmarks .... 
			dunno ^_^ just try it (4-8 players). I was thinking to release the samplemap of this
			but it is a bit buggy dunno ... BOT file included finally :D (thanks to YDNAR help).
