Basin or Basin DM is the first level of DEATHMATCH Maps. This level is considered by Jim Lowell to be his first serious attempt to make a level in THRED. This level mainly consists of a single room with multiple levels, the bottom being submerged in a pool of Water. A .3DT version of this map is included with THRED as an example file.
This level has a Level Exit, a Teleporter, which can be easily accessed by hopping over a small barrier. The level incorrectly links to ASDM02 instead of DMAS02.
This level is a slightly modified version of the original version, Entering Basin. Unlike the aforementioned level, there is a music track, Parallel Dimensions. Due to the Aftershock Level Theme, the Movable Wall on the top floor is also a proper Door. There is also no custom message upon exiting the level.
The Aftershock Toolbox comes with a modified version of this level that properly goes to DMAS02: DeCarlo. This file is intended to be used with the original Aftershock for Quake since DMAS02 is not provided in the Aftershock Toolbox.
