About HTR
Here's a few points to clear things up:
1) There's only one version of HTR.
2) Run it as normally, but instead of pressing the first button three times, you need to press EACH of the 3 buttons once.
3) All the entries (also the ones you've been sending) that use "the button bug" will be disqualified, I'm sorry.

Bug in Hit the Roof
Argh, hate it when this happens. There is a 'bug' in crazy.bsp which has caused some confusion among participants of the HTR contest:

When I 'modified' the map the way I did (heh, don't want to spoil the surprise for those of you that don't have the map yet =) a weird error showed up. Whenever you jumped to one of the three buttons, you'd get stuck without being able to get loose. This is a bug that I've come across several times before, and I have no clue as to how this can be avoided. Anyway, to make the map suitable for running, I changed the buttons so that they return to their original postion after 1 or 2 secs, enabling you to continue to play in case you got stuck. However, this also makes it possible to press the first button three times to open the door, as all the buttons do is give a signal to the door. Press it three times = three signals, which is enough to open it.

I'm sure you can all understand that we do not allow this: you have to press EACH button once. The map should resemble the old map as much as possible and this 'bug' wasn't in the original, so you can't use it now either.

Check out this creenshot: shot 1, from the next Quake level project. Actually I have really no idea when the level will be released, but I'm sure you have a lot to do with htr for a while :)
