Readme of Train 255

"A Train, I can DO that!"
======================================================================
Title                 : Train 255
Filename	      : TRAIN255.map

Description           : Features - 4 carriages (1 double decker!)
			- Rooms over rooms - under/over/in between
			carriage air vents - Dining room with bar -
			Sleeping areas (standard and luxery) - security
			cameras - all weapons - mirrors - patented 
			"doors with windows in" - blow away walls...
			The list goes on. 3 months of hard work and serious
			strain on the BUILD engine (I'm amazed the
			thing holds together), a great big train has
			been produced for you kids to play in. Its not just
			a train either.. Like Watworks, there are multiple
			routes throughout the train (thank god for air vents)
			a fair weapons balance, and some very cool visuals. 

			The, er, quote at the top is the first thing I said
			when I started thinking about this level. This was at the
			time when I needed an idea.. Thanks to Graham for suggesting
			it. 

			Well, its time to give Duke a rest now. 
			5 levels is good enough for me.
			New PC soon, so, Half Life
			levels on the way!

Additional Credits to : Pete Smith (Level Design ideas and Support), Graham Beard,
			Malcolm Wright (for his shower model!), John Watkins (for 
			giving NBA more attention than train), Robin Bott (Testing and QA)
======================================================================

*Note on system spec:- Train255 is a very complex level. A pentium with 16mb ram is
a must. Frosted mirror slows framerate down dramatically.

* Play Information *

Single Player         : Now yes !!!
DukeMatch Level       : Yes
Coop		      : No

* Construction *

Base                  : New level from scratch
Known Bugs            : Nothing major - it MAY be possible to see odd behaviour
			in the mirrors. They really don't like the sector over
			sectors outside the train. They were a pain to build too.
			Also some sprite clipping problems - most of these
			only happen when bunk beds are viewed from outside
			the train (which is only possible in 3d mode
			BUILD anyway).
