Entering Basin

Entering Basin is a Multiplayer level. This level is considered by Jim Lowell to be his first serious attempt to make a level in THRED.

This level mainly consists of a single room with multiple levels, the bottom being submerged in a pool of Water. This level has a Level Exit, a Teleporter, which can be easily accessed by hopping over a small barrier.

The original version of this level just included a .MAP file. The .BSP version (which was identical to the .MAP file) was released 3 days later, on July 27, 1996.

This level was modified and slightly renamed as DMAS01: Basin in Aftershock for Quake. This version lacks a music track. Furthermore, due to the difference in texturing, the exit is sealed with a Movable Wall instead of a Door. This version also includes a message at the end of the level saying "Thank you for playing Basin!".

This level was also used as a base for Entering CVZ's Basin.
