The second beta is now running at 66.207.66.19:2092. Check it out tonight, suggestions are welcome!

It will autodownload, or get it here: http://tamingofthegrain.com/levels/steelvapor11beta2.zip

From the text file:
==============================

Welcome to the second beta test for Steel Vapor! This level was built by Luke Schneider for Outrage and it was very popular for years as an entropy level. Now I am trying to spruce it up a bit and give it some more airplay.

Things changed for the second beta:

* The entire level was manually lowered, narrowed and shortened.
* The two gunboys and two emd launchers were removed and replaced with two quad lasers and two super lasers.
* Each base received a second energy station (for entropy) located in the middle of the level.
* Some of the middle powerups have been moved to vertical side tunnels to help framerates in the main hallway.
* Finally the overall mine was shrunk another 10 percent. The total length of 2030 units now is 1566 units (23% shorter). The total volume has been reduced to about 1/3 of the original. Even so, the level is still huge and can hold 12-16 players, but I hope it is more playable now.
* The lighting multiplier was changed from 15 to 12 (since the level is smaller). Let me know if it is too dark.


Things not changed:

* The cloak and blackshark remain.
* The 10 players starts are still in their original positions.
* The remaining entropy bases are still in their same locations.


This beta will run all day Sunday and Monday. If you have suggestions please email me or catch me in the game.

I think this topic should be _quickly_ moved to our dual-language beta-test-board - before that dies.
