Includes:
- Full EXU2 arsenal and plentiful items for use
- Extensive use of gameplay filtering: expect a different experience on each difficulty!
- EXUBarrels, maybe too many of them
- Interactive level design

@jaypeezy
Should/does the PawnKillMessage mutator work outside the EXU environement? It certainly worked in DM-EXU-Gibatorium][ but didn't work in another map I played (in which I was playing against ScriptedPawns spawned by MonsterSpawn - the other mutators I used were the same for both maps).

I only played the initial part of DM-EXU-Gibatorium][, just to get a feel for it, but it certainly looks good fun and challenging

I had this in the log

Buggie's and sektor's map checking tools pointed to a number of issues (some of which may impact how the map 'performs' online) that you may wish to investigate.

@OjitroC thanks for the playthrough and feedback!

Yes, the PawnKillMessage mutator should work outside of this map/gametype. Odd if you're not seeing that. I'll try that offline later.

I also overlooked the matter of multiplayer for the most part. Intended this as an offline DM/SP map. But I could go back to this in the future and release a SE edition with those fixes from using the debugging tools mentioned.

Yes it is odd - I can't really think of a reason. As I say I used the same mutators so it can't be down to that. Everything spawned in MonsterSpawn is a ScriptedPawn (either subclasses of default UnrealI/UnrealShare ScriptedPawns or of weapon-holders which are child classes of Skaarj or of SkaarjTrooper). I'll try it in a few more different maps.
