Description             : This FULL version is a conversion from the Quake 2 
			  map pack:  SKYSCRAPER, plus one new additional map
      			  which provide as a "bridge" between two maps.

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.....

*Author's Note*

	I have enjoyed creating my map pack for Quake 2 so I have decided to
make a conversion for Soldier of Fortune 2.  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.


===========================================================================

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.

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"....
