Additional Credit*

 * I have to give the bulk of the credit to the makers of TREAD, its an 
           absolutely great program due to its accessibility and ease of use.         
 * ID Software, of course, for Quake 2. 
 * Quintin Stone - HEAP-BIG-GUNSLININ' thanx for an absolutley great mod
 
              http://www.plaetquake.com/gunslinger/
 
 * RUST- for the plethora of info provided :  http://www.gamedesign.net 
 * Thnx to Havok who lets me test every map on him =)
 * The custom textures are not mine so whoever put them in a map file and however
    they got into my machine is beyond my ability to discern, suffice it to say, they 
    are pretty cool and credit goes to the unknown whoevers'. I've had as many as
    1400 bsp maps on my hard drive at once so you can imagine the difficulty in
     nailing down just who did what out there in the Quake universe. I just don't
     want the credit due to others =)

*NOTES*
 If you are reading this you probably have played "GS" and know like i that there is no doubt
  that this mod is worthy of as much lose of sleep and cognative reasoning due to overplay.
  I wanted to "add" to the variety of map styles, so i tried again to make something different.
  This is supposed to resemble a hot dry rocky place, the buildings and stairs are kinda out of place
  and not very "real world" but i getting fragged a zillion times in the Q2 world isn't quite
  real either. (hows that for a rationalization?)The weapons are all
  there in great quanity and ammo in abundence (since hoarding is weight costly be carefull)
  and the badge is in an inconvenient spot. 
 All that to say i hope it gets played by all the the Q2/Gunslinger mod - geeks like me. 
  I do know it will run at 24.3.60.209:27912  Thnx agian Hovok, hope to see ya' there !
  
 
 OH YEAH please let me know what you think good or bad, i'm not overly 
  sensitive either just go easy with the harsh language, remember we live in a "society".
