 HARVEST CUSTOM MAP PACKS - For Quake2
-----------------------------------------

 Greetings, and welcome!  This pack contains
 a set of eight of some of the best custom
 deathmatch maps to have been released on the
 net.  The purpose of this pack is to unify
 the maps that servers and players use, to
 make it easier to play great custom maps on
 the net.

 This text document will contain some vital
 information.  However it is not complete.
 Go to http://www.planetquake.com/harvest/
 for more detailed information and support.

Installation
------------

 Unzip the contents of this archive into your
 x:\Quake2 folder.  Be sure to select "use folder
 names" so the files go into the correct place.

 After unzipping, you have only to find a
 Quake2 server to play on! Use either gamespy 
 or visit the server page at:
 http://www.planetquake.com/harvest/servers.shtml
 to find one a suitable server.

Running a Dedicated Server
-----------------------------

 Included in the Harvest folder is short cut that
 will launch a dedicated server.  The included server
 config file works as it, but feel free to change it.
 Keep these things thing in mond however:

 - Use a timelimit, not a fraglimit
 - don't allow more than 16 players, the levels are
   not large enough.
 - leave the custom 'game' as HARVEST, important
 - Do not change the map rotation.  Feel free to
   add the id DM maps into the rotation, but do NOT
   add any additional custom maps.

Bot Support

We have included an archive in the main zip which
contains route files for the Easer bot.  If you wish,
simply unzip the route files into the eraser/routes
folder and you will be all set!
