So thanks to whoever created the original textures.

 Info mappers:

If you would like to decompile this map for learning purposes be my guest.
Please do not edit something and then release as your own....

maybe some know hows:

orb slowly chaing color (5 stages):
This was achieved by changing the color of sfx/construction.tga with a shader.
I changed the color of it for each stage and then remapped them 1 by 1 so that
it appeared that the orb slowly changed color

orbiting balls:
Simply by using splines.

The scoreboard:
Quite hard to explain, but you can just take alook at the script
first it counts from 0-9 then at 10 it triggers a new block for the "tens"
so 0-9 then "tens" + 1
this is repeats untill 99
then the hundreds are triggered + 1
and this process is repeated untill 999, 1000 is just win, but won be achieved since it takes just
under 17 minutes to gain that many points.

metallic effect:
Took me quite a long time to figure this out, just take a look at the shader.
but you texture also needs a alpha channel, so sont forget this!

the animated textures:
I don't know how these work, as I said earlier I don't know who made them but thanks. :D

jumppads:
these are made with a trigger_multiple attached to a target_push, which in its turn points to an
info_not_null.
If you use ctrl+k to connect the 3 entities remeber to select FIRST the trigger then the target_push.
Then deselect both, then select FIRST the target_push and then the info_not_null, otherwise it won't
work.

portal camera:
Quite easy, many tutorials about it so go find one! :D

lights:
to get the slow fading effect select a light press N and click non-linair.
This is a trick I read on SD forums (good place for advice).
