Heart of the Revolters v1.2 Double pack
by MoonQuake (hl2_moonquake@hotmail.com)
for Half-Life 2 Team DM
=================================

Map names: obj_revolters12a.bsp
		obj_revolters12b.bsp

Team-Deathmatch maps with objectives for 6 players or more.

These maps were designed for Team-Deathmatch, NOT for regular deathmatch.


====================
REAL MISSION OBJECTIVES 
====================
You play just like it's a HL2 campaign, but it's online with your buddies! Play as Rebels or Combine; the strategies and objectives are different for each map: 

--------------------
Revolters version A (rainy sunrise):
--------------------
-Combine objectives: 
1- Reach and unlock the Precinct 15 sector door to gain access to the Rebels area. 
2- Blowup the Rebels weapons truck hidden behind the Rebel HQ to cut-off their heavy armament supplies. 

-Rebels objectives:  
1- Destroy the Combine generators. 

-------------------
Revolters version B (cloudy afternoon):
-------------------
-Combine objectives:
1- Reach and unlock the Precinct 15 sector door to gain access to the Rebels area.
2- Destroy the Control Room inside the HQ to destroy the whole base.

-Rebels objectives: 
1- Bring back Alyx, held captive in the Combine base. Teleport her to Kleiner's lab.


======== 
KEY FEATURES 
======== 
-Rebels vs. Combine theme: just like the original story, both in gameplay and visual quality. 
-Rebels and Combines start with different weapons. 
-Real-time changing weather. "It's a rainy day... Yeah the sun will shine..." 
-Deadly floor turrets: only gravgun holders can place them, only Combine soldiers can be detected by them.
-Immersive audio ambience that changes depending on the events of the battle. (new soundtrack for Revolters B)
-Many more cool things to discover. 


========
INSTALLATION
========
1- Extract all the content of the ZIP file somewhere you'll remember. This will create a folder called "Revolters by MoonQuake" with all the stuff. Inside, you'll see this folder:

	hl2mp


2- Now, open your "Half-Life 2 Deathmatch" game folder (usually: c:\Steam\SteamApps\YourAccountName\half-life 2 deathmatch)

3- From inside your extracted folder "Revolters by MoonQuake", COPY "hl2mp" and PASTE it inside your "half-life 2 deathmatch" folder.

4- A window will pop-up saying "This folder already contains a folder called hl2mp"... click "YES TO ALL" and all the files will be copied. You're not replacing your "hl2mp" folder, but adding the new files for Revolters inside, don't worry.

5- You're done! :)

6- Start Half-Life 2 Deathmatch and use the maps "obj_revolters12a" and "obj_revolters12b"



NOTE1: If you see purple rain while playing the map, that's because you didn't copy the "hl2mp" folder properly. Do it again but make sure you copy it where a "hl2mp" folder already exists... inside "half-life 2 deathmatch".


NOTE2: I suggest you use Winzip or Winrar to extract the ZIP files. The default Windows zip extractor might corrupt your files.


========
SERVER ADMINS
========
This map requires the following command for it to be played properly:

mp_teamplay 1

Revolters is a team-deathmatch map, if you play it regular deathmatch, it won't be as fun and some of the objectives won't work. So don't! :)

Optional: allow the flashlight to be used, people like to use it: mp_flashlight 1


========
OPTIMIZATION
========
Expect Revolters to run just like in outdoor maps of the campaigns in HL2: if you had slowdowns all the time in HL2, you will get the same results playing this map. If you ran HL2 well, then don't bother reading this. :)


Want faster, smoother? Do this:

- In your videocard's control panel, set "Anti-aliasing" and "Anisotropic filtering" to OFF or Application Controlled. AA and AF are framerate killers.

- Whithing HL2DM's video Options, set "Anti-aliasing" and "Anisotropic filtering" to OFF and lower some of the other settings.

-Always set VSync to Off.

-Check your HL2 Booklet or Readme file for further details.


=========
SCREEN ADJUSTEMENT
=========

Use the screenshots included in this ZIP file to adjust your monitor for optimal visibility. You don't have to, it's a suggestion I make. :)


=============
CHANGELOG v.1.2
=============

-Objectives status on-screen!!!
-Turrets are now awakened by Combines ONLY! But beware if you're standing between a turret and a Combine! :)
-100% Linux servers compatible!
-Front doors now blockable and easier to use!
-New spawn method reducing telefrags.
-New map names!
-Optimized for smoother visuals and networking!



Enjoy "Heart of the Revolters" double pack and see you online!
