ATLANTICA_RPG
==============
This map is the RPG version of the map, which doesn't have any interactive NPC's to reduce server load and stress, but contains extra scripting.
This map contains the keycard system as well as the toolbox repair system and the credits system. So, if you want to play with these features, load this map!

ATLANTICA
=========
This map is the core(basic) map which does contain interactive NPC's but none of the advanced scripting found in the RPG version. This is for players
who desire a more FFA-themed experience, or clans who do not wish to play with the RPG features because they have their own mods which they can use instead.

==========
Known Bugs
==========

- In the long staircase with the rocky walls and the view of the ocean, you can see a small glimpse of another section of the map when looking
upwards out of the window.

- If you die/disconnect when participating in the Stealth VR training sessions the scripting system which governs these minigames will break
and the map may need to be restarted. Of course, there's no way to die in here unless you kill yourself, so this is a very simple bug to avoid.
Server admins can teleport/noclip into a broken VR training room and complete/fail the training to restart the scripts without needing a map restart.

- The elevator consoles can get out of sync with the elevator itself, but it was either this or make the consoles crush through the player, which isn't
desireable. They will always fall back in sync, and only go out of sync rarely when blocked by the player.

==========
CREDITS
==========

- RoboPhred, Lugormod coder and the biggest inspiration for the extra scripting I did in this map. He's the brains behind most of the really cool stuff,
like the keycode doors, repairable items and the passworded room, and also the whole 'Setting parms onto players' idea which enabled the credits system,
the keycodes, and also the repairable items with a toolbox. additionally, it was his method that enabled the resetting of parms on the player so that when
they die, the credits e.t.c are reset. Without you Robo, this map wouldn't be what it is today. I'm sure you'll be unimpressed by my extensive use of
unnecessary target_scriptrunners, the position of the lift and my less-than-liberal use of parms, but the job got done in the end :D
Thank you so much!

- Xa'o Zalei for helping with the design, concept work and theme progression throughout the development of this project! I orignally wanted to blow you up
with my Death Star for 'persuading' me into making this map for you, but in the end it was a fantastic experience for me, and you know that this map
would also not exist without your tireless input and contribution. Thanks!

I would like to personally thank Szico VII for all of his help the past year and a bit making this map.
He is a stand up guy and a wonderful person. I asked him way back if he would make a small map on a small star Wars planet
and it turned into one of the best maps I have ever seen for JKA. So for that, thank you for everything Szico. You are
amazing.
