 1. TWHLmix, what the heck? /
/ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
  - TWHLmix was meant to be a collaborate map, that many would mappers contribute to.
  - BrattyLord started the whole thing in his 'I got an idea' thread, over one year ago.
  - Every participant built his room, added it to the map and then gave it to the next one.
  - The restrictions were simple: Leave the other people's rooms alone and use only original
    Half-Life stuff. All textures/models/sounds/sprites you see, hear and smell are from the
    basic pak0.pak.
  - Then things came together. Sometimes slower, sometimes faster.
  - After a while, it was just rudely ended and released.


 2. Requirements /
/ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
  - The maximum r_speeds lie at < 1300 wpolies, but there are no fights in this area.
  - Half-Life 1.1.1.0 (older versions should work too)
  - A GeForce 2MX, a 400Mhz CPU and 128MB RAM should be enough.
  - Don't even try playing in Software Mode, it looks terrible.


 3. Know Bugs and tips for playing /
/ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
  - Unzip the archive-content over your 'Half-Life/valve' directory.
    !!!Backup the titles.txt before!!!
  - To play the maps, run Half-Life with the console and start it with 'map twhlmix1'
  - Every participant was fully responsible for the playability of his part and had to make
    sure that the map works as well he thinks it necessary. Still it is advised that you keep
    your noclip-keys lubricated. ;)
  - Take your time. Since the maps were created by very many people, it was not possible to
    create super-complex fights and long shooting-rampages. Instead there might be something to
    look at and play with, every here and there. So don't run through the maps, looking for
    the next squad of soldiers. You won't find any.

 5. Some words from the authors /

  - Confessions and comments from the contributors (Ordered by the date of submitting.):


    BrattyLord:
    ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
    I'm BrattyLord. I came up with this idea, and put it in full fledge.
    TWHLmix was a project started over a year ago by me. The thread was entitled
    "I got an Idea". Though it was just an idea at first, it evolved into this map we have
    here today. Thanks to Ministeve for the first map, and Hazardous for keeping this going.
    Though Ministeve made the first part of the map, the idea was in my head. He was kind
    enough to start us out. Its been a looooong year trying to get this thing done. In fact,
    I started this right about when I started mapping. I really have not done any mapping
    acheivements at all, so I hope this will be the first. Just a fun map.
    Here we give you now, a map a year in the making, ready finally for public view.
    Enjoy.

    hazardous!:
    ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
     Well *cough* apologies for being slow. Ouch! Don't hit me!
     If you find the text fades out too quickly, press the pause key as soon as it is fully
     visible.
     Then there's some eye-candy you might find nifty. Try to find all four random events. ;)
     I'd have loved to have much more detail in my entire part, but it certainly would have
     spoilt everything for some people, who do not buy new graficcards every half a year.
     Special thanks go out to CP and TMA, for positive feedback during the map-creation
     and to M_gargantua, for helping out with building the final room, so we were able to
     release without extra delay.

     So then ... enjoy!


    Trapt:
    ŻŻŻŻŻŻ
     Hello there. This comment is quite useless, but only here to fill in space in the readme.
     You better like my area of the map, or a monkey drinking coffee will go to your house,
     stab you with a screwdriver and then brutally rape you. Thankyou for your time.

    RabidMonkey:
    ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
     Hello, underlings. 
     I am RabidMonkey and I made something for this map. Yeah, nifty eh? 

     I'm a mapper who hangs around in IRC answering questions and having mindless discussions
     with Hugh and Trapt or Ant whenever they're in. I am not, however, the stabbing, rapist,
     coffee-drinking monkey Trapt describes. Noooo....

     E-Mail meh at rabidmonkey777 at gmail dot com. 


    M_gargantua :
    ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ

    Rileymo:
    ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
     My names RileyMo and I made a map for this thing. Well its not really a map, more along
     the lines of segment of a map. Of course at one time it was all by itself, before I e-mailed
     to Hazardous. But now its a segement. There. I'm done. Why are you still here?


    Ministeve:
    ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
