- Installation Instructions -

  Unzip the whole mess into your x:\ directory. Where "x" is the drive
you have Quake 2 installed. Do this and all the files will be installed
where they should be. 

  There will be the zip file called "Thunderstorm" in yer root directory
after you're done unzipping. Take this file and unzip the .tga and .pcx 
files into your x:\Quake2\baseq2\env directory. Again, "x" is the drive 
you installed Quake 2 on. 

  WHEW...That's it! Have fun and happy fraggin' :o)

	appreciate their input during beta testing :o)

  WARNING! This map has some rather high r_speeds. It's not recommended
for slower machines. Just thought I'd let ya know...

  On this map, I wanted to have some fun and see what I could do with 
some different textures, sounds, and skys. I get soooo tired of the 
standard Q2 skys... Well, one visit to the WadFather and my problems
were solved! BOOKMARK THIS SITE... Once I got the sky, it helped me to
establish a "theme", that being a Deathmatch on a cloudy, crappy day.
Not unlike your typical day in Seattle :o/ And of course if you have
clouds you must have thunder. Geez, it'd be like a day without sunshine
without it. Uhmmmm...wait...I live in Seattle...we have many dayz without
sunshine. Well crap, you know what I mean. I've also added textures from
the "The Reckoning" mission pack by Xatrix. Excellent textures in there,
give it a try on your next map.

  Anyway, enough of my useless babble, GET THIS PIG LOADED UP AND GO
PLAY! What else are ya gonna do on a rainy day...
