INSTALL INFORMATION:
Unzip all files into your "/half-life" directory, winzip will handle the rest.
================================================================
PLAY INFORMATION:
Normal CTF stuff mostly. Everything is well marked and there is only one cap point per team
this time around. The secondary goal is to destroy the control center with a detpack.
There's a switch near the flag that'll open up the control center. Also there is a second
switch inside the control center if you get trapped. Scoreing is 5 points per flag capture
and 3 points for each destruction of the control center. There are a few items in the map
that can destroyed with detpacks (you figure it out). The sign usage covers the respawn,
flag, and control center only (the critcal goals). Personaly I think signs promote the
pussifacation of the TFC player. In short take the 5-15 minutes it takes to learn a new
map like us old timers do. Don't try too respawn camp because not only will you die you'll
look stupid at the same time.
Things changed:
- re-textured 75% of the map
- Lighting has been totaly overhauled
- added quick and dirty one way teleporters in the respawns to the basement. Use at your own risk. >:)
- ballanced the scoreing system
- replaced alot of sloppy brushwork
- added some extra touches to make things easy on the eye
- modem users rejoice! that evil jump in the vents can be done now. :)
- subway level's r_speeds are rock bottom so you HPBs have a nice playground.
- FoxBot waypoint file added. FoxBot can be downloaded at http://redfox.webgateinternet.com/
- RES file for server admins added.
- The map just works better with the new player models now
- ammo packs are now one-stop-shopping. So do your best to take only one please.
- Grenade packs give spammer...errr....demomen a fresh detpack. They did in the original version also but I forgot to tell anyone about that. I also chucked in an extra type two grenade now that demomen/hwguy classes can't carry 4 MIRVS.
================================================================
OTHER INFORMATION:
Textures - I only bummed two textures one from Uncle Bruce (the resupply sign) and the
other from Hellface (the three tube light "m_light1"). If you see a texture that
you think came from somewhere else look again you'll find it doesn't quite
match.
Sounds - I use three sounds from the "USS Darkstar" single player addon the other two
sounds are home grown.
Skybox - that is BASED on the sky used in the "USS Darkstar" single player addon but
I had too do some major editing so it'll work with this map correctly.
================================================================
BUGS:
It better work........
================================================================
THANKS TO:
Lord Bishop & VorTeX - If it wasn't for them this map would never have been.

I used some of their work so it's only fair to pimp their work in return. Most likely this map won't see much server time but I had to relearn worldcrap somehow.
