This is an arena map in a sea of lava. It is loosely based on ut_rumble, but is more complex and requires more strategy.

Notes: This map was previously known as Lavarena, but has been renamed Hotzone due to another map being named Lavarena. If there are no bugs, then this will be a final version.

Dynamic fluids seem to be impossible with this game engine, so I had to make most of the level a func_bobbing entity to get the desired effect. Unfortunately, this confuses the bots, so while there is an .aas file and the bots will load, they cannot figure out how to play the map and just hang around the spawns.

The levelshot and minimap are both animated to show how the level changes when the lava rises and falls. The minimap will not stay in sync with the lava, however.
