Desc & Features:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Army2 is supposed to be a army training area/camp at night. I have work a lot on light shaders and light effects. It should supported FFA, TDM, TS, and CTF nicely.

The map size is near the size of ut_army for those who know it. The size of this old map and the open aspect of it were something interesting me. So i decided to made an army map for ut4. ut4_army2 is not at all a duplicate of ut_army. All the things here have been done 1 by 1 by myself (see detail below) and with a cup of coffee next to me. I wanted a map in the night with nice light effects, an opened map not big.

The map looks like different in FFA than in team game modes. In FFA 2 teleports on the sides send you on opposite hangar roof. In team gamemode only 1 teleport in the middle send you on the same roof depending from which side you enter it.

All the terrain is alphashadowed.(technic to join smoothly severals tectures). The sky use skybox technic.

Have a look at it, watch the night sky, the moon, the flare and most of all have fun !

Notes: I did make a version of this map with a sky with blicking stars, but god the FPS where droping by 30% at least... so no blicking stars....

- sglightstreetbeam.tga
This is a texture based on beam.jpg from sfx directory in UT4 pk3. I changed it because beam.jpg is not well raccordable. So i made it raccordable with GIMP and removed some color artefact with neatimage.....
- terrainsand1_512_alpha100.tga is a texture I made from a public picture and a tecture inside UT$. But believe me i do not remember the original name and from which directory i took it from.... I have made this texture for island map and renamed it.......
Shaders:
- Light strobe effects understood from shaders needed for the relport model (BY STECKI - ******@**********.com)
