  Thanks for your interest in "The carnage continues".This is probably one of the last ever addons you'll find for "Blood". As loyal fans, we did our best in keeping the game alive. 
This file contains everything you'll want to know about this new addon.

 The inability to render Mapedit on newer systems besides the lack of time, has seen the release
of this addon in its current Beta version (See below). The full fledged addon may never be
released in its entirety. Getting this thing out itself was an acheivement!

STRUCTURE(CONTENTS):

CARNAGE.COM         - to execute the addon.
CARNAGE.GRP         - Content
CARNAGE.RFF         - base sound file (will be created the first time you run the addon
                      and thereafter be used for sounds in the addon) 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUILD INFO :
----------

Base            : From Scratch.
Build time      : Too long. Beyond a single person. We recommended stringent time
		  management for projects such as these.
Tools used      : Many,known and unknown.
                  
Bugs            : Most of the already existant bugs will be removed when patched!
                  Rest assured that gameplay will not be affected in any way!
                  Look below...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT:
==========

* Two new features are introduced into gameplay, namely ladders and jump pads.
* All ladders are climbable so dont ignore them.
* Jump pads may be recognised by an eye or an artwork in the centre of a tile on the
  floor. Get on them and hit the use key to activate. This will shoot you up and may
  cost you a lot of health. Keep moving in the air to get to the place at the top. 
  This may take some time to master and saving often before trying, is recommended.  

GAMMA ISSUES:
============

* Different monitors and desktop settings may cause different gamma settings within the 
  game. We recommend a low gamma setting (if not the lowest) with all surrounding lights
  switched off.
* Adjust game or screen gamma settings to suit you, if needed.


KNOWN ERRORS:
=============

* Links and stacks are not perfect unlike Shadow warrior (don't blame us)
* You may sometimes get stuck on a ladder. Hit the jump button and try to navigate
  to the top.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COPYRIGHT/PERMISSIONS:
======================

The developers allow any user, the freedom to modify or work on existing content in the addon. However, if the newly modified data is being redistributed, the original credits must be explicitly mentioned. The developers however, do not encourage the modification of
the levels in the addon.

HANDY TIPS/HINTS:
=================

*Turn slope tilting off.

*Play at a resolution that does'nt slow down the game.

*Some important rooms are hidden. Discovering these is essential in order to
 finish the game, so look for clues!

*Read the text messages that appear during gameplay....they provide vital
 clues and hints!

*If you have a CREATIVE INFRA cd-rom drive and are unable to play CD-AUDIO,
 run the "caraud.bat" file instead of carnage.bat and play the tracks manually.

*DON'T CHEAT.I REPEAT......DON'T CHEAT!
 
*Watch the cutscences carefully. Turn up the brightness if they're too dark!

*Save often, especially at the end of an episode.

*Don't keep the Music too loud!

*But keep the sound as loud as you want!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE PASSWORD SYSTEM:
====================

  Since each episode can have only 2 cutscences, we had to divide the levels
into 3 episodes. You cannot access the later levels without a password/code you
should obtain from the previous levels! This system was absolutely neccessary
in order to preserve the flow! If you've played the brilliant
"Gods" addon, you'll know exactly what the password system is!
