1) System requirements
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.1GB (3174MB) free hard drive space.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) The maps in the "Ultimate Mappack 1"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contains multiplayer maps only.

I was unable to provide a list of all the maps because there are just too many. But be assured
this mappack contains almost every custom map made, from the birth of "Aliens vs. Predator 2" to
mid-September 2005.

Here's a list of how many custom maps are in each category:

DM/TDM/HUNT/SURVIVOR -- 377 maps

OVERRUN --------------- 15 maps

EVAC ------------------ 26 maps

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) The Making of "Ultimate Mappack 1"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note that I did not make any of the maps in "Ultimate mappack 1", I just took all the maps
I was able to get, and combined them into one big mappack. To meet demand for a mappack that
contains all maps for "Aliens vs. Predator 2".

I spent many uncountless hours to make this mappack. Time spent downloading maps, adding all maps
into one mappack, time needed to convert .rez files, time needed to write these text files, and
time needed to test "Ultimate Mappack 1".

Here's a list of the programs I use to make "Ultimate Mappack 1":

-- DEdit

-- Photoshop 7.0

-- WinRAR

-- WinRez LT Studio

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) "Ultimate Mappack 1" problems
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are wondering why the "Ultimate Mappack 1" is not a .rez file, it's because I was having
problems converting it into one since it was so big. So I left it as a folder, don't worry it
works just the same.

There is a problem in the host maps selection screen in the game, the blue highlight box around
the "Availble Maps" box, is elongated. That's because of maps with very long names, the blue
highlighted box has to conform around the name of the maps. Nothing I can really do about this
problem, it doesn't hurt anything, it just looks weird.

There might be problems with missing sounds and missing textures or textures that are screwed up
in certain maps. Please note when I made "Ultimate Mappack 1", I got many maps out of other
peoples mappacks and if they were screwed up in their's, then it will be screwed up in mine as
well. Also I ran into a problem, two different mappers making a custom texture the same name and
placing in the same folder, therefore, I could only pick one. As for some sound problems, there
were a couple of sounds that were causing problems so I had to remove them. There also can be some
missing textures and sounds that I could have just screwed up myself. And if that happened to one
of your maps, or one of your favorite maps, then I am SORRY.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) A tribute to all the mappers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being that there are so many maps, there would probably be close to one hundred mappers who have
made maps in "Ultimate Mappack 1". It's also close to impossible for me to get a complete list of
all their names. Even if I did get all their names, people would still want to know what mappers
made what maps. An undertaking too big for me to attempt, but if someone would like to do all the
research to list all the mappers and the maps they made, I would be more than glad to add that
information to any future Mappacks I would make.

To all the Mappers who have made maps in this Mappack, I would like to say:

"Thanks for contributing your time and energy to this great game."
"Thanks for giving us better gaming experience."
"Thanks for keeping the multiplayer experience fresh and new with your maps."
"And a big thanks for helping to keep "Aliens vs. Predator 2" alive."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Future mappacks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I overlooked a map or someone has made a map after the release of this mappack, I'd be more
than happy to add it in any future mappack I make. But am not planning on making another mappack
for a while, so don't coming BUGGING ME to add a map.

There are some preferred requirements that I'm requesting, if you make maps:

-- No long map names.

-- Try to use very little custom textures as possible, because these are the most timeconsuming
elements of making a mappack, or if possible don't use any custom textures or sounds, because
you can still make a good map that way.
(for example look at a map named: "Toxic Feud")

-- Give your map an original name, because believe it or not, people remember it better that way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) How to get in touch with me
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can find me playing "Aliens vs. Predator 2" at least two nights a week, playing on custom map
servers. The one I'm normally on is called: http://www.avp2maps.com , I go by the name of: 00

My Email is: Admiralwentworth@yahoo.com

I would also like to give special thanks to Hudson Hick Ontario , for without him none of this
would have been possible.

Ultimate Mappack 2
Description:

ULTIMATE MAPPACK 2
-----------------------------------------------------------
All the mappacks listed below have been incorporated into this mappack, thereby
making these mappacks not necessary if "Ultimate Mappack 2" is installed.

Please note, "Ultimate Mappack 2" contains "official multiplayer map update 1". This was done so
that if anyone reinstalls the game, or gets it for the first time, will not have to download this
file especially if not aware of this update pack. If it is already installed, you don't need to
uninstall it, there should be no confliction problems. This was done to make "Ultimate Mappack 2"
considerabily to be the best mappack available for "Aliens vs. Predator 2".

Believe it or not, this mappack doesn't have every map, in fact there are almost 100 maps or so
that were considered to be unplayable or obsolete. By this I mean maps that had missing textures,
screwed up spawn points, unfinished versions, older versions of maps, maps that were too laggy,
and in certain cases maps that were too big. I did this to try and keep the mappack size as small
as possible but still containing as many playable maps as I could.
