: Mark, could you provide an polygon # where the ladder(s) begin in this
: level? This is the kicker level that caused me to stop playing RED all
: those years ago (I skipped it by cheating). I don't recal ever finding the
: ladder. heh
: I'm trying to decifer how the ladder effect is created in the Marathon
: Engine... I recal seeing it utilized in Marathon:Trojan, and some other
: places... but it always appeared like ledges to me - somthing that's a
: no-no in the engine and has always baffled.
: Or better yet - is there a map making tutorial on ladders? I presume they're
: just composed of stairs adjusted very closley together - allowing the
: player to run up the wall.
: Thanks,
