Mission Brief : September 11th has called for a temporary rehire of "soldier of fortune".... You're John Mullins, a retired veteran, who has been hired again to eliminate the next terrorists' plans for attack. Resources said that their plans are to attack a skyscraper (again). This time around, they have decided to use the skyscraper as a "testing gound" for their new biological weapon. Resources also have been informed that they have a training session being held there at the skyscraper. Their goal, as well, is to eliminate any "soldier of fortune" whose attempt is to stop them. They had already murdered your partner, Madeline Taylor, for a "price tag".... The sources verified that their primary target now IS John Mullins. Since it's your life they want, so why not "hire" the best to get the "job" done right? Besides eliminating the terrorists, two objectives must be met. One is to stop the leader named "Wilson" who is responsible for promoting the weapon. "Wilson" is one of the triplets who are brothers and can be identified by their dyed blonde hair... The other objective is to get the suitcase that holds the evidence of this weapon... Once these objectives have been achieved, a helicopter would eventually pick you up safely at the helipad..... To get to the skyscraper, you must start at the beginning where the suppliers start which is the house in the countryside...... To achieve successful for this game, the player must search everywhere for the keys which unlock some slight "puzzles"... Be aware that there are two types of keys. Red keys usually open regular doors and elevator doors. Brown keys however open chest and even air vents..... Good Luck, soldier, you going to need it.....

Unlike the Quake 2 Engine, I was able to complete additional "set pieces" and add more sections which wasn't possible under the previous Engine. =========================================================================== * Play Information * Game : Soldier of Fortune 2 Gold Edition (version 1.03) Single Player : Yes Multiplaying : No Difficulty Settings : Hard New Graphics or Codes : Yes New Sounds : Yes Demos Replaced : No * Construction * Base : Combining and altering (rescaling) the MAPs from the actual Quake 2 SKYSCRAPER pack! SoF2Sky2.MAP was created from scratch. Build Time : Includes learning Radiant for the first time... Sixteen months on-and-off. Editor(s) used : Using Quake 2 to add the framework of the garage, retail version of qED (qED 2) "Unoffical QUAKE Level Design Handbook" written by Matt Tagliaferri, SYBEX, Inc. (c) 1997. After rescaling the maps to 1.463 for Soldier of Fortune 2, qED 2 was also used to extract these into .MAP formats which were permitted to be opened by the Q3Radiant (GtkRadiant) !!! : For aligning textures and additional brushes, GtkRadiant 1.4.0 (December 21, 2003) : To place certain entities, Q3Radiant 1.0 Beta build 198 Other Software(s) : q3map2.exe (BSP to MAP converter) : Winzip (PK3 organizer) Known Bugs : The player would intend to get "stuck" if he or she (YOU!) jumps on the sink in the bathroom--Crouch or Prone would still not solve it... Compiling time : For graphic reasons, these maps were processed using -fast for VIS. Computer : Intel Celeron 1.70 GHz Windows XP Home Edition (Windows 98 Second Edition) 512 MB of Ram All-In-Wonder 9600 128 MB (Radeon 9600 AGP) Set pieces : Using q3map2, "set pieces" were extracted from .MAP formats of Soldier of Fortune 2 original .BSPs to be incorporated (and sometime resized) for SoF2Sky1. "Set pieces" are referred as chairs, tables, lamps, models, etc. Credits : The makers of Quake 2 and Soldier of Fortune 2, of course! : I would also like to thank the internet providers (they are so many to mention!) who support tutorials for map making and continue to support Soldier of Fortune..... * How to play this level * Unzip SoF2Skyscrap.PK3 under Soldier of Fortune 2 "base" directory. (example: C:\SoF2\base) Start Soldier of Fortune 2... When the menu finally comes up, access the console by pressing the left Shift key plus the "~" key... Type "map SoF2Sky1" (without the quotes) and press "Enter".... And you in!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!!!
