 Info!
-------------------------------------------------
This is my second map in what will hopefully be of many. After 15 long months of a
hugh learning curve and countless hours of cursing, throwing, crying, searching for
answers in the darkest of places and juggling time between study, work and mapping,
i've conjured up the 3rd beta release of my subway map. I'm rapidly running out 
of things that I want to do with this map and  this would of been a final 
release if it wasn't for the glaring issues of last beta.
So once again i want your opinions, criticism and gameplay judgement
spelled out for me. This 'will' be the last beta before final.

#Some interesting facts are;
	3 scripted trains
	2 scripted boagies
	1 truck stolen from goldrush
	1 script which has been really heavily sworn at
	192 splines used
	325 models included
	6 design programs used
	28 fights with the girlfriend over spending too much time with the map
	48 crashes of my computer somehow related to my map
	630hrs trying to nut out problems

#. version BETA3 info
	==compile==
	q3map2.5.16
	:BSP -meta -mv 1024 -mi 6144
	:VIS -vis -saveprt
	:LIGHT -light -fast -samples 2 -patchshadows -external -lightmapsize 256 -approx 8

	==problems fixed==
	1. Etpro problem where on etpro servers you couldn't tranfer dynomite to the chamber
	   and finish the map. (should be fine now)
	1. Disappearing models(yeahaa!), seems my dodgy train models caused it
	2. Trains follow tracks more precisly, all trains are better flowing
	3. Hull better designed. Thanks to Detoeni who greatly helped to fix the hull issues.
	4. Subway walls and tracks are more flowing
	5. Some wall textures in the city changed
	6. Spawns in south station moved, since some players spawned inside the capture flag
	7. Headlights on trains softer

	==new things included==
	1. New train models! Thanks again to Detoeni who redesigned the trains and 
	   showed me how you really model
	2. Smoke in subways
	3. Sound of dyno train crossing tracks
	4. Once the allies construct the chamber, axis cannot destroy it
	5. Axis can now blow generator using satchel charge
	6. Misc bits and pieces

	==problems==
	1. This is where you tell me, email ausman_1@hotmail.com 
	   Get all your probs in since its last beta.

#. Version BETA2 info:
	==problems fixed==
	1. Clip added at top of east station bridge
	2. Dynamite problems during transfer to chamber eliminated
	3. Terrain changed from vertex to lightmapped

	==new things included==
	1. All train models now have spraying head lights on them
	2. Allies spawn changed to 20sec, Axis spawn to 25sec
	3. Looping trains made quicker for allies spawning (1 loop = 40sec approx)
	4. We chamber explodes, damage is now pushed out
	5. More models around the city
	6. All constructibles now have flags with them
	7. Ambient sound added around whole map
	8. Generator has sound as well as door close on chamber
	9. Voice command system implemented(sorry for the words train and chamber, its not easy making "train" using words truck, tank and construct)
	10.Individualised stations more, new architecture, textures
	11.Spawns increased from 16 to 32 players
	13.Some other stuff I can't remember

	==problems==
	1. The same as in beta, disappearing models.
	3. I've played around with the script movers, but it is mission impossible getting a long
	   train model to stay on the tracks all the time, i'm trying hard but not sure I can get the
	   models following much better, if only work wasn't so time consuming(poor excuse yes)

#. Version BETA info:

	==compile==
	Release date : 08-07-2004
	q3map 2.5.14
	:BSP -meta -mv 1024 -mi 6144 -v
	:VIS
	:LIGHT -fast -samples 2 -filter -patchshadows -external -lightmapsize 256 -approx 8


	==problems so far==
	   Disappearing attached models on dynamite train and looping trains. I had to make them
	   invisible on the dynotrain script before they magically disappear otherwise the models
	   wouldn't be able to be called back(yes, very strange).
