Contact: The Ministry Of Action or GHGclan.com forums are the easiest way.
Next easiest might be jumping into a game with me.  I don't check mail much,
but you can probably get it off a forum or maybe even the Map Depot or 
Haven o' Frags sites.

Description:

A small snackshop, run as a front for the mob.

Yes, it IS a beta!



Of note to server operators:

Added some goalmode-only breakables to offer alternate gameplay in goalplay
mode.  It's still the standard teamplay-style gameplay.  Just with different
obstacles that encourage alternate movement routes.  mp_nogoals 1 makes the
shop fairly open, while mp_nogoals 0 adds strong breakable shutters to most
access points aside from the front doors, potentially making it more of a
stronghold battle.  Play whichever variation you prefer.

I have included an ahl_watersedgeb5.cfg_bak file for servers that normally
play with goals disabled (which many will, due to the adminmod incompatibility
with RC2's NPC assassination goals).  To use the alternate gameplay, simply
rename it to ahl_watersedgeb5.cfg and leave it in the maps directory.  This
should enable goals for that map (tested this with adminmod).

Servers that normally enable goals but don't like the gameplay with the
breakables can also disable them by renaming the file, but editing it to read:
mp_nogoals 1.

If you downloaded the map from a server, you probably don't have this file.
You can create one yourself: It's a one-line text file, reading mp_nogoals #
Simply choose the number that activates the style of gameplay you prefer.
Make sure the file is in the action\maps\ directory.



Changes from beta 4:

Clipped off far bank and moved pipe to the near side of the canal to cut
down on snipers sitting in the far corners.
Added a fire escape outside the back room window.  Ladder will not appear
while goals are enabled.
Fixed mismatched sound and gibmodel on the vent exit from the crawlspace.
Fun with gasoline and toilets!
Slightly louder/larger radius on music.
Rear doors on van are now one-way only.
Fixed a bug with the molotov fire sprite rendering--no longer shows through
walls AND now shows through the breakable grates.
Added another car on the curb for cover/decoration/etc in the front.
Added a drivable limo to the back alley for cover/hijinx.
