Warning
---------
OpenGL users (TNT, TNT2 Ultra, Geforce, etc.), turn your brightness UP.

Requirements
-------------
RJ2 must be run in at least a 512x384 resolution.  Hardware mode (3dfx, opengl) is recommended, although software mode can be used too (again, in a 512x384 resolution or higher).

To install:
-------------
Quick Directions:  Extract to x:\gamedir\ (with directories, x being the drive and gamedir being the Quake2 directory)

1.) If you're using Winzip:
   a.) Open the file jones2.zip (obviously, since you WOULD be reading this readme.txt file if the zip was opened)
   b.) Extract this to x:\x\quake2\, where x is your drive and the other x is the directory in which the Quake 2 directory presides.

2.) If you're using dos pkunzip:
   a.) Type "pkunzip -d jones2.zip x:\x\quake2", where x is your drive, and the other x is the directory in which the quake2 directory presides.  Get it?  Good.
   b.) If you typed the quotes, then you shouldn't have and must re-type the thing without the quotes.
   c.) What are you looking at this step for?  There is no C.

3.) If you're using another (un)popular unzipper:
   a.) Don't look to me for help.
   b.) Download winzip from www.winzip.com


To Run:
-----------
Run jones2.bat
or
Type quake2.exe +game jones2

About
------------
Rick Jones 2 takes Quake Movies to the next level, with state of the art model animation and excellent demo editing.  Featuring over 30 new models, and over 7000 frames of animation, this is the biggest movie to date.  Not the longest though.  Oh no, we wouldn't want to over-do the plot just to have a "long" movie.  This baby runs at over 15 minutes though, so don't worry..you'll get plenty of p1mpin' 70's action with a plot that makes sense!

Storyline/Concept
------------
Rick Jones and his swanky side-kick Zeus are on another adventure as soon as they bust a drug warehouse which the mafia owns.  Rick Jones must venture through the city and eliminate the main mafia drug lord and save the city.  Cameo appearances from 2lf and other "funked out brothas" like D. p1mp and A. Ho.
Featuring music from "Soak" and "Deep Purple", there will be plenty of jammin' music to keep your blood pumpin.

The ever-ominous FAQ
------------
Q=Some made up guy
A=CrustaR

Q: You said you wouldn't do any more Rick Jones movies!  What happened?
[A]: We decided that Rick Jones 1 was a tad unprofessional and wanted to redeem ourselves.  Also, we had already done several models, so why the hell not, right?

Q: Why?
[A]: Because.

Q: Well, okay then.  This brings me to my next question.  Are there going to be any other Rick Jones movies made?
[A]: That is a very hard question.  It depends on how many people like this.  It looks very doubtful though.  We want something new, and have had quite a few good ideas.

Q: How long did it take you to make this super-fly movie?
[A]: It took nearly a year.

Q: Were there any lazy bastards who were going to help you and/or didn't respond to your emails?
[A]: Now that you mention it, ummm...YES.  I had to do most of this stuff by myself, mind you.  I'm not mad, it's more mad props to me, and it was fun anyway.  Mad props go out to all that helped, too...especially Nef.  He made most of the models in the movie.

Q: WTF, why didn't you guys use model actors?  I wanted to see some actors, damnit!@#$! ARGH!#$#@$!@ I AM MAD!
[A]: Calm down.  It would have looked really, extremely lame if we used model actors.  It was much easier and more efficient to edit it block by block, inputting the individual frames/coordinates/skins for each entity.

Q: You advertised that the plot made sense, and it did! This is a first for a movie of this high of production...you guys are great.
[A]: We try =) ...But hey!  That wasn't a question!  Ah, forget it, you're fired.

Q: What is that two legged thingy?
[A]: The two legged fag?  See above.  No one knows exactly what it is, although it is more of an inside joke between me and Nefarious.  Basically, Nefarious was showing me how to use Lightwave at a lan party and he came up with the 2lf.  It was pretty funny, so we put it in.

Q:   I am kind of offended that the characters called it a "two legged fag".
[A]: We are not using offensive slang for it.  The dictionary definition of "fag" is a cigarette.  He looks sort of like a cigarette, doesn't he?
