All began with a closed door ...again. In SanFran, Lula can watch Klaus and Sabin "doin' it", but there seems to be no way to open that door, no chance to explore the little balconey.

Same thing with the "Premium Adult Toy" store. Lots of action, but without Lula.

Not any longer, with some work, and a couple of surprises, I was able to bring Lula to places where she never has been.

First, I tried to reach Klaus and Sabine, because that looked simple.

So I started to build up my trusty car ramp, with my experience, no problem.

So I climb and I climb... taking some back drops, re-climb the whole thing till I reach the balconey....

AND MAN DID I LOOKED STUPID... no lovers, no clothline, no desk and benches...NOTHING!!!

All that climbing...and nothing...THAT was a hard kick in the back.

And than I started thinking...quiet some time...

After the shock, I was sure...IF they aren't HERE, Klaus and Sabine must be...somewhere else, they MUST be somewhere else!

After all that thinking AND takeing a longer look at the "San Fran Street.V3D", I got a clue where to finde the lovebirds!

I am sure you all have experienced the little lag that the game has at that time, when Lula comes from the stairs (or goes them up).
I've got a 3 GHz with 2 Gig Ram and a graphic card with 512 MB RAM, and it still has this little lag... so this has to be something special.

And in the V3D file, I found some sort of answer: There is a parallel world... or at least a parallel build up of SanFran in the same level.

This means, everytime, Lula enters / leave the house in that Spandau lives, Lula gets "teleported" to other build-up of SanFran!

Weird...sooooo weird. But I guess it has something to do with the camera adjustments for indoor scenes. But anyway...

I was ready to conquer ...again...some new ground, and that meant, back to the car-bridge...again.

So I am building ramps and conquering new roofs first, getting some nice views over SanFran, till I reach....again...the big nothing of the map...ready to move slowly through infinity...again...

It was half way through the nothingness...as I ran into an invisible wall!
Not the car, I was unable to move forward, no, Lula couldn't pass an unseeable wall!

That was my second stupid look in SanFran in Lula 3d.
Again there was a huge pill of thinking!
I steped from the car, let Lula drop to the ground in the hope to finde som sort of "hole" to glitch through the barrier.
But there was no hole, even worse, it seems no chance to get to the other side...I saw the beginning of the other bilding allready from the car...THAT hurted realy bad!

Do you know what I did than?...That is right... a big fat pile of thinking!!!

I have a little experience in level/map building with CS and UT2k4 and Postal2. And one word bounced up and down in my mind. "Warpzone"
There has to be a warpzone, to take Lula to the "other" SanFran.

The question was, how can I trick out the warp zone. I knew quiet exact where the zone was.
To make this story shorter, look at the pic. I took the desk from Spandaus apartment, angled it a little bit, climbed it and so I was able to stand on the handrail, stepping slowly down, and fell back on the other side on the stairs, without touching the warpzone!!!

Sickboxx 1 Warpzone 0 !

Now I was able to walk in the other SanFran, you can just do this by chaning into the ego view, because all third person cameras are tuned to the interior scenes.

It was easy to build up the car ramp from my first try and so I stood on the roof with Klaus and Sabin soon later, enjoying the view and everything else.

I was in such a good mood, I took the next step right right away.

There is a humping couple (and a cameraman) in the building on the right side of the coffee house.
So I wiped the barriceds away and walked behind the building, took...again...the cars and "undermined" the building ...again... and soon I was able to enjoy this raw scene too.

All in all...quiet somthing to explore in this level with such many closed doors!

I hope you enjoy them "open".
