OUTPOST X
==========
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
----------------------

Obviously you should play this with the Eduke32 port. If you don't have it then tough
luck! Go get it!
Put the zip file that is IN the zip file (OutpostX.zip) in your main dir. Extract
just the bat file from the main zip and 
it should work! In some cases I found it would not work, the problem was fixed by
extracting Tiles014.art as well so if
you experience difficulties, try that.

Introduction
-------------
If you're reading this this means Outpost X has finally seen the light of day and
that you have decided to download it
(and hopefully play it)! So thanks for that. In this package you will find, among
other things, two maps. They've been in
the making for way too long (at least 2 years), but then again there have been many
distractions that have slowed down the
building process. But hey, it's finally here so that's all irrelevant.

One more thing; This map is intented to be played in Polymost mode, without the HRP
and with only "my" custom models and
textures activated. I started out building the maps with the HRP in mind but after a
while it really began to annoy me
(different feel, etc..) so I went back to using mostly 8-bit art. You can also play
this map in Classic Mode entirely or
in OpenGL without custom things included in the ZIP but then you might experience
some minor visual bugs, but nothing too
bad (known bugs are bugged transparency on the vines and small lava bubbles instead
of lion statues). 
If you don't get annoyed easily then it's entirely up to you how you want to play
this map (though I wouldn't recommend
playing it with the HRP activated).

Other maps (in order of release dates): Supa, Supa 2, Battlefield, Battlefield 2,
Supa 3 (along with Maarten and Merlijn
van Oostrum, check their maps as well! But they're famous builders so you probably
already have), Project Whatever,
Battlefield 3 (technically this counts as 3 maps I guess), Space Map Number DUNNO,..
and now this!

unfortunately, not used in the final version

next map ;)

About the level
---------------
Title: Outpost X
Filenames: welcome.map (map 1)
           outpostx.map (map 2)

Briefing: At the end of the previous map (Space Map Number DUNNO) you boarded a
teleporter that has now taken you down
to the planet below. You have teleported to a valley near a small city where you
should find answers and discover your goal.
In the way however is Outpost X, a hi-tech base employed by the aliens. Nobody is
sure what exactly is being done there but
it is not your mission to find out: You must enter Outpost X through the valley and
exit it at the other side.

Description: Map 1, titled "A Warm Welcome" is a short and mostly linear map. It
starts off with a small nature bit, after
which you end up in a base in a cave. In the valley you will be able to take 2 paths
but only one of those is one you need
to access, the other area is just there for the sake of exploration (and you will
find some weapons and all there).

Map 2, Outpost X, isn't that long either but it has a more unlinear structure and -
again - some areas that you don't have
to visit, but can if you just want to explore or find some additional goodies. I was
also trying to create the impression of
it being a real location by creating such areas. 

* Play Information *

Episode and Level #     : Episode 1, maps 1 and 2.
Single Player           : Yes.
Cooperative 2-8 Player	: Yes, though only as a last minute addition. It has not been
tested and there are no teleporters.
DukeMatch 2-8 Player    : Not really
Difficulty Settings     : Implemented in both maps.
New Sounds              : Yes, just a few. (from System Shock 2, Redneck Rampage and
other games)
New Music               : Yes - For Map 1 there is something from Terminal Velocity
and for Map 2 a midi from Heretic, which
                          has many great tunes!
New Graphics            : Yes.
New/changed CONs        : Yes but with only minor edits; Implementing the new sounds
into the game and replacing the
                          first two levels of L.A. Meltdown (now called "Outpost
X").
Demos Replaced          : No.

* Construction *

Base                    : New level from scratch.
Build Time              : Way too long!
Editor(s) used          : Mapster32
Known Bugs / Problems   : Minor visual bugs when you play without Polymost + ONLY
custom materials enabled, apart from this
                          some ambient sounds might cut off. I'm not aware of
anything else. You can of course mail me if you
                          find something else but unless it really breaks the game it
probably won't be fixed.
