******************************************************************************************** Briefing...07:00 hours...special agents faction: At approximately 04:39 hours this morning a group of terrorists who call themselves "The Phoenix Faction" raided a secret installation. The location of that installation can not be given out, even to you. As to how they found out about the installation is beyond us, and frankly: We want to know. They have taken a few hostages and placed them near the back entrance way. We sent in a counter-attack all ready, however they were unable to discover as to how the TPF was able to find this installation or why they had attacked. However, they were able to 'label' certain parts of the base. Such as the 'Command' post, and where the hostages were. Unfortunately, none of the men from the first attack made it back to report in. Your mission is to infultrate the enemy's base, which shouldn't prove too difficult since the first faction was able to 'dispose' of the defense, so there shouldn't be too many men guarding the perimeter. Once inside we do not know how difficult your fight will be, since this is when the first faction was wiped out. We know that the enemy's leader detonated several explosions when he discovered that our faction had gotten in. This is what we suspect wiped them out. You must secure the hostages. It is imperitive that you do so, since the last encounter we had with them, considerably not as large as this, they held hostages. Hostages seem to be the main 'theme' of TPF, therefore they are your main objective. If the passageway to their 'Command' HQ then infultrate that as well, however our last transmission from our first faction told us that it was blocked off. Primary Objective: Secure hostages. Secondary Objective: (If you can) Make your way to their 'Command' HQ and find as much information about their leader as you possibly can. Good luck... ******************************************************************************************** +Map Information+ Title : Rescue for Sven Co-op Author : Bacca Email Address : PredaconX3@aol.com) Date : 12/20/99 Filename : rescue.bsp and the config file rescue Filesize : 1.4 megabytes, while the config is 2 kilobytes...sorry about the size Description : Did you read the briefing? Note : Note? Note? You want a 'special' note just for you? Well then...La dee da! ******************************************************************************************** +Player Informtion+ Single Player : Yes Deathmatch : Nah Cooperative: Yup Difficulty Settings : I put this at '2', but you can change that with the config file New Textures : The signs that say 'Command', 'Hostages', and 'Weapon/Supply' New Sounds : Nope Running the level : Put the files 'rescue.bsp' and 'rescue' config file in your Sven Co-op directory Players : You can play with yourself (hehe), but I would recommend 2-4 players ******************************************************************************************** +Construction+ Base : Scratch Editor Used : Worldcraft 2.1 Build Time : I would say about three days (I had to redo it after it got erased) Known bugs : Sometimes after the ending fade-out it cuts back to play, I don't know why though. Also, there's quite a bit of lag with more that 5 players. Compile Machine : Gateway G6-400 ******************************************************************************************** +Hints+ - Look in areas with shadows for weapons - The gates in the end brake quicker if you use a crowbar - There's ammo in the big truck (I know that that's not really a hint, but people have trouble finding it...oh well...) ******************************************************************************************** +Special Thanx+ Thankyou to the Valve team for making such a 'neato torpedo' game the Sven Co-op team for making such a great mod. Thanx to Sojorn for making the awesome truck in the 'spawning area' and to Woof UK for making the tipped over truck in the beginning outside section. Also, I'd like to thank Big Guy for emailing me back when I asked him a question, the 69th Vlatitude and Wavelength. ******************************************************************************************** +Distribution+ I don't mean to be mean but, don't use this level as a base. It's my first Sven Co-op level and I'm kinda proud of it since I made it from scratch. Also, if you feel like contacting me because you think my map sucks, or you want to compliment me (like anyone ever just feels like emailing someone a compliment!) then my email is PredaconX3@aol.com The Phoenix Faction is a trademark of mine because I plan on making this level into a series so don't use them without my permission, however I would be very happy to allow you to use their name if you email me and tell me, since I could tell you about what they're all about. Thanx for reading this un-necessarily long readme. -Bacca
