Description:      Single player map for Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Thanks to	Id Software, Gray Matters, Nerve, and Activision for the great game,
		Splashdamage, Planetwolfenstein, Wolfmap, Wolfensteinx, and all the other websites
		for their invaluable help. ydnar for his q3map2 compiler. 

Thanks to the mappers	Vicpas (The Motivator), Detoeni, Kat, Wezelkrozum,
                        Obsidian, and all those that I forgot to mention
                        from the Splash Damage forum. Thanks for Alexander
                        for testing and offering improvements with Vicpas
                        and for the sdkfz222 model for my sp_byblosharb2.pk3.

Desclaimer	        The map was created with only one thing in mind, having fun. No historical
                        accuracy was taken into consideration. The Afrika Korps did not
                        reach to Byblos during the second world war. The harbour of Byblos
                        is much more detailed than the engine limitations allow.

			I borrowed the models of Detoeni (Opel Blitz), Sdkfz222, and modified them a bit.
			I borrowed the palm from Wolfenstein ET, modified, and animated it.

Mission:	You must attack a fishermen harbour and clean it from the Germans,
		collect some maps, and you could destroy weapons if you like (optional).
                This is not an easy map but you can make it.

Game type:    	Single Player
New Textures:   Yes, a lot (about 95%)
New Sounds:     Yes, (some)
New shaders:	Yes, many
New MD3s:	Lots of them
New ASEs:	Lots of them

Build Time:     about 6 months (when I had free time)

Compiler:	    Q3Map2 version 2.5.16
Compiling Machine:  Q6600 four core 2.4 GHz CPUs (release 2)
                    Macbook pro in Windows XP mode (release 3)

Compilation Time:   about 7 minutes with (bsp, vis,light, bounce 8)
		    aas: b0 and b1 about 25 minutes
Map size:           It is large, was created with a 65 x 65 pixels height map.
			
Base:               New map with a completely new environment and landscape.

Tools used:	GTKRadiant 1.4.0, EasyGen 1.42, the terrain shaders were manually created.
                Gimp 2.6.x, paintbrush.exe, Crimson Editor 3.7, GMAX 1.2, perl, Audacity 1.2.6,
		and irfanview32.exe.

rcd files	are not included to minimize the size of the pk3 file.
                The Wolf engine creates them for you, when you start the map for the first time.

Bugs:           The 3D accelerator might show irregular terrain shadows in some spots,
                if the map is compiled with the q3map2 terrain syntax. The map looks fine
                if it is compiled with the q3map1 terrain syntax though but the shadows will
                be too thin. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome. Compiling the
                map with the ATI X1900 3D adapter shows less irregular terrain shadows than the
                compilation with the Macbook Pro 3D accelerator Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT.
