* Installation Info *

1. From within the same directory that your registered QUAKE.EXE resides,
   pkunzip -d corp2
2. quake -game corp2 +map corp2
3. Enjoy!

Replacements for quake -game corp2 +map corp2 include:

quake -game corp2 +skill 0 +map corp2       <--- stroll in the park
quake -game corp2 +skill 3 +map corp2       <--- hardcorpse
quake -game corp2 +deathmatch 1 +map corp2  <--- DM w/ Corporal's buddies
quake -game corp2 +deathmatch 1 +map dm1    <--- Indecisive Bots in DM1


* How about running this level with other patches? *

Yup.  You can use corp2.bsp in deathmatch mode with a different progs.dat
with no error messages because I used spawnflags 2048 on the monster_corporal
entities.


* Where'd you get the custom textures? *

The texture wad (gyrotex.zip) I used is available at ftp.cdrom.com.
It's free for anyone's use, unless the use is for profit.

Corporal Punishment II

In single player mode, you'll be up against some Corporals with attitudes.
In deathmatch mode, you'll be up against the Indecisive Bots.

After the last beating you gave them, The Corporals retired to Neil's
Monastery for some much-needed introspective meditation.  Some of them
achieved total enlightenment, laid down their weapons, and declared
themselves to be pacifists.  The others decided that saffron robes were
for wimps, shot the place up, ate all the pacifists, and hit the road.

A subtle change came over the remaining Corporals however: The carnage
that they inflicted at the Monastery put many of them at ease and
turned them into killing machines with a greater sense of patience
and purpose, more likely to pause and think for a moment before rushing
headlong after their prey.

It is into this den of deliberate Corporals and their pets that you venture,
fighting for your life and to rid the world of these nefarious beings.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's a room with a board and some lettering on it.  It's a reader board
that shows when certain objects have been picked up.  It doesn't make any
sense in single-player mode since the Corporals don't run around picking up
armor and stuff (hmmm...) and, alas, didn't turn out to be as much use in
deathmatch as I thought it might be.  The idea might work better in a 1-on-1
deathmatch level that's set up to allow players to move around silently.

I took the spiky-ball teleport target out because I kept getting infrequent
"MOVETYPE_PUSH on a non-bsp model" errors.  I finally tracked this down to
some code in plats.qc, where the .movetype of the spiky-ball
misc_teleporttrain is set to MOVETYPE_PUSH.  Presumably, they need the
spiky-ball to be a MOVETYPE_PUSH so they can move the teleport target around,
but unfortunately the engine blows up with that once in awhile.  Maybe END.BSP
doesn't blow up because the spiky ball is up high where critters and players
can't run through it...?
