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!

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.

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.
