Hmm, you must like dark maps then.

Did you figure out what all the switches do in this map?

Do you know what the switch that's in the rooftop (when you look up
from the platform) of that one dome does then?

Or how about the switch that's directly in the back of the lift near
that one set of stairs (not talikng about the actual lift switch
itself though)?

I'd appreciate any help on what they actually accomplish.

Open it up in the editor. That's the easiest way.

Hmm, wish I knew how to go about doing that. :-/

No big deal, it's not one of my favorite maps anyway.

Go to your system folder and look for the editor shortcut. Beware though you
might find yourself overwhelmed at first trying to figure it out but mapping
is a hell of a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.

Okay, will go try and attempt to do that. Thanks for the assistance!

One thing I did notice though is that once you spend a little time with the
editor the "magic" of the game is kind of lost. You stop looking a how nice
a room is and start looking to see how the textures lined up

No problems there, I just want to see what the "secret" switches
really do.

If you would like I can take a look inside the map and let you know? The
switches are assigned "actors" and they can be a little hard to understand
at first.

Well, it is a 4.2 Mb. map (I think?). Wouldn't want to inconvenience
you if you are still stuck with dial-up like I am.

The one switch I'm really interested in knowing what it does is on the
backside of that lift that's near that "bridge" you run under (the one
where you see four (five?) health vials under it.

When I push it, I hear some humming, but can't figure out where it's
coming from. Perhaps it opens a portal to the sewers (maybe the
opening is under the lift itself when you raise it?).
