Thanks to

Everybody who gave me feedback on my maps
because this is what motivated me and made me continue mapping, plus giving me useful information what people like and what I can do better

{NoClanElite}Rogue
for his MatrixAT AHL Beta 3 trailer which brought me to AHL

Holy Goat
for mapping tips and being helpful in many other ways

SatanzJudge
for downloading lots of stuff for me, even though he still pretends not to like AHL

Luebbi, Raven, RawHyde, Stealz, DOOManiac and all other people I forgot
for beta testing, ideas & suggestions, bug reports etc

You all helped me to improve this special version of MatrixAT to what it is now.


Additional Info, Tips, and Notes
--------------------------------

I did my best to include every piece of architecture/furniture that
can be seen in the movie as accurately as possible, but it's an
AHL map rather than a model of the tower - a match in over
150 storeys would be a little ... lonely.
Two matrix features - shootable tiles on the columns and shells ejected by the minigun - were cut for performance reasons.

Main improvements to the original MatrixAT
- Cut the entire basement (and ways leading to it)
- Redesigned + enhanced the middle floor
- Many "cosmetic" changes (textures, lights, helicopter etc)
- Structural changes to reduce r_speeds and bandwidth used
- Several minor changes to support AHL functions (eg climbing)
- Fixed the environment sound modifyers
- Appropriate weapon and ammo placement (Akimbo!)
- Hunted style Action Teamplay scenario
- Location names (very accurate LOC file)

This map plays CD track 2 as background music. (Insert the Matrix OST CD!)

Imo this map is much better than the original (prettier, faster, smaller...), so if you've been using MatrixAT in AHL, forget about it and run this map instead.

PLEASE mail me your opinion about this map! (VIoLazr@GMX.de)
Every single mail I get does make a difference, and don't hold back any complaints - I want and like to hear what can be improved.


Construction
------------

Editor(s) used	: Worldcraft 2.1, Wally 1.39B, PSP 4.12
Compile Machine	: PIII 450, 128 MB RAM
Compile time	: 1h with Zoner's HL Tools 1.6.2
Build/test time	: countless hours


Installation Instructions
-------------------------

Unzip the files in the archive into your /action folder.
The A-TMAT.xxx files should end up in /action/maps
and matrix_loop.wav in /action/sound/VIoLazr

In teamplay, the map uses the nsi_swat and vato models from the AHL model pack which every 1337 AHL server (and player) should have installed.
Otherwise you should make a copy of any model but the_pro and rename it to vato or nsi_swat so the target and the marines don't look the same.
