* construction *

base                    : new level from scratch
editor(s) used          : Worldcraft 1.1
build time              : One weekend 
number of brushes       : 288
compile time            : On a P166 w/ 32 Megs RAM
                                   QBSP : 82 sec
                                   Light -extra: 73 sec
                                   VIS -level 4: 423 sec 
known Bugs              : Brush with duplicate planes and a leak somewhere
                          but there are no slowdowns or grey areas anywhere,
                          so I forgot about it.

* installation *

Make a directory under the \QUAKE\ID1 directory called MAPS.  Put the
included DAPLANET.BSP file in there.  Then run:

quake +map daplanet.bsp -sspeed 22050

The -sspeed 22050 mixes the sound at a higher sampling rate.  Sounds
a whole lot cleaner than 11khz.  Use it.

Tell me more:

What the hell for?
Grab about 15 of your friends you want to kill and go play Planet NiN!!

* Credits *

- id Software
- VekT0r for starting the idea for a new level.  (He wanted a good
  camping spot)  :)
- All the other NiNvaderz for saying "FINISHED THE LEVEL YET?!@#"
- Ben Morris for creating such a fine editor.  I just need to buy it now.
- Matthew Tagliaferri, creator of Qed, for the .WAD file.  I know I
  ripped all of the textures out of it.  I feel kinda lame.  Sorry if
  this offends you in any way.  Please email if it does and I'll be sure
  to change it in future versions.
    

* Software *

The following programs were used in the development of this level:
        - WorldCraft 1.1 (Noooo it's not registered.. sheesh)
	- MipDip
        - NewWad
	- QBSP, VIS, & LIGHT
        - Adobe Photoshop 4.0
        - LviewPro
        - MS-DOS edit

=====================================================================

* Other information *


This is my first public release, and WorldCraft is THE BEST editor out
there, as far as I'm concerned.  I've made about thirty other maps that
really sucked, but all of them got me higher and higher with WorldCraft.
This editor kicks ass.

The volcano was a quick thought.  If I wouldn't have popped that zit on
my neck, it probably wouldn't be there.  

I also added in an old level that we destroyed each other on (the big room
with nothing but weapons in it) and therefore gave the fighting someplace
to go.  Although, a deathmatch in that crater terrain would be cool.

* secrets *

Absolutely none.
