EXPLANATIONS:
Well, this is supposed to be my answer to all those maps done by John Weber 
(they ARE getting better, still he is not making use of TextureAlignment, 
which results in nasty graphical disorder).
It has always been one idea of mine to build a castle-like map, and the very
realistic textures of RR make it easy to do so.
Again (and like Pentagon.map), I built it mainly for deathmatch (my favourite 
mode of playing 3d-shooters), but this time I paid much attention to making it 
playable in single player mode, too. I went through the level many times, added 
a monster here or some ammo there and finally came to the point, where my own 
creation starts to annoy me. That's pretty normal and, in fact, the expected. 
It's always the same. Each time I build a map, sooner or later I reach a point
where I can't stand working on the map any longer. So, here's as far as I've
come this time.

I know that there are weaknesses in Fauxpas.map. 
Especially, talking about SHADING sets my teeth on edge! I have read some 
manual dealing with perspective, light & shadow, and theoretically I do know
how to correctly and realistically shade a map. However, so many BUILD-errors 
keep happening whenever I try to do some serious shading work...
 
Sorry for the poor sky and outdoor-design! I still haven't found out how to
build a neat, error-free "open air"-area. Parallaxing is a thorn in my side,
although it CAN look phantastic (if it works). 
BTW: Load Fauxpas.map into BUILD and try using the texture alignment key on the
wood-forest-combinated texture that surrounds the player's boat at the start of
the level. My computer crashes when I try to do it! Don't know why.

KNOWN BUGS and STUFF:
- Yes, I know that the door sounds are not synchronized with the closing speed.
- Yes, I know, the sleeping-room-door or the movable book case make no 
sound at all (they are silent do-not-let-them-know-versions).
- I already begged your pardon for the poor shading, didn't I?
- ...
All these are minor bugs and ones that do not make game play impossible or
excessively painful. 
If you spot any severe bugs let me know.
Send me an email with your list of "loves and hates" concerning Fauxpas.map,
so that I may change things for a future release of it.

Okay, (nevertheless) have fun.
