[Man 'o War]

So i'm trying to 100% this map, and no matter how i try, i cannot find 1 secret, (the laser-locked door near the red key at the bottom of the staircase after the exploding liquid....how do i open it?) and also the entrance to the infamous pipesystem. Can someone help me out?

after looking at mapster32 for 2 hours, (lotag search doesn't work, for my keyboard...) i managed to find the switch to said secret. Jesus, who would put it there? I would still like some help regarding the alternate exit.

Instead of using lotag search, you can always aim your cursor in Mapster 2D mode at an activator and hold Left-Shift, so it will draw an orange line leading to everything with matching channels (so the same lotag for activator and switch, for example).

It can still give problems if the map is too big, and the other end of the line is somewhere far away. Yet, it's the most brilliant Mapster32 feature. Or was that available in the old Build days?

just grab the activator/sprite and drag it towards it's matching partner.
quit without saving
no harm done

I described how to get to the pipe system starting from here, and my following posts in that thread:

tl;dr: Beat the cube map by starting it from the main menu. This will eventually take you to the military base level, and this will activate this alternate path.

It will also activate an alternate path in the Doombase level, with a new boss in it.
