Also the Counter-Strike team and contributors for producing such an excellent "mod" (it's pretty much a new game! :) Finally thanks to people on the cs forums who posted advice, help and comments on the beta version of the map. email: than@planetquake.com http: www.planetquake.com/cesspit www.planetquake.com/ktimpakt date: 06/03/00 (updated 12/01/00 - level data the same) game: Half-life (Counter-Strike mod) ======================================================== installation: Extract the files to your cstrike/maps directory using a zip extracting program such as winzip. Of course, you already know this or you wouldn't be able to read this text file :) You should now be able to load the map from the console or start server menu in half-life after initialising the Counter-Strike game files. You will also be able to play the map on other servers if you see it. Any problems? email me at than@planetquake.com ======================================================== A little info on the map: For many years 'The Vineyard' was the producer of some of the finest wines in France. Grape vines thrived on the mountain slopes and the grapes that grew on them were later used in the production of wine. Business was very successful and the owners of the property did very well for themselves. Eventually 'The Vineyard' was struck by a series of "natural" disasters which forced the owners out of business and eventually away from the large mountain villa altogether. Some while later a terrorist force used this secluded spot as a hideaway and location ideal to take hostage four of the top scientists working on a high profile military project. The terrorists have threatened to kill the four scientists unless it is agreed by the French government that the project be terminated at once. Like most governemts, the French decided they would not weaken to terrorist pressure and have set up an elite force of counter terrorists to infiltrate the villa and rescue all of the scientists. The only thing they want terminated is the terrorist threat - the project will continue as planned. Terrorists: Prevent the counters from infiltrating the hideout and rescuing the hostages. Do not kill any hostages - they are needed as a bargaining tool and as protection from an all out attack. Eliminate all Counter Terrorists to make the French Government see sense. Counter Terrorists: Rescue the hostages without putting them at risk. The hostages must be rescued at all costs or the project will suffer delays which cannot be afforded. Use brutal force to gain access to the hostages, eliminate Terrorists as neccessary. ========================================================
