================================================================
TITLE: 		the "SLAUGHTERHOUSE"    

================================================================
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: * Visit all crucified zombies in the game. Some have
	            important messages for you. You'll be damn lucky to
		    find your way out if you don't. 
		  * The method I used to create 'safety glass' has one 
                    drawback...it bleeds when shot, so don't let that 
                    confuse you :)
		  * You will get 5 'walkmonster-in-wall' messages at 
                    the game's start. They are where they should be. 
                    Let's just say, they are 'priming' something :)
		  * About the only places where you might become lost 
                    are in the underblood channels and their entrances
                    or exits ....just look for bubbles.
		  * In the little control room (overlooking the area
                    with the crucified and gutted Sham) there are 3
                    buttons on the control panel. Make sure you push 
                    all 3...you should get 3 messages.
	          * Unless your good with your axe you'll have to get
                    into the Slaughterhouse to get enough ammo to kill 
                    the monsters outside...skill 2 only.
                    
================================================================
Setting/story: "Slaughterhouse" starts with you trying to break into
the slaughterhouse. I have no idea why you're breaking into a 
slaughterhouse but your biggest problem will be getting back out:)

                          to any here, and I altered 2 slightly (that 1
                          tester stuck to). Yes they are set right!

================================================================

*** HOW TO RUN SLAUGHTERHOUSE *** (with the registered version of Quake)
	- you 'may' have to allocate 12 megs (I didn't) to Quake & 16 
          is even better. 
	  Info on changing that is in your Quake>techinfo.txt 
	- copy slaughtr.bsp to quake\id1\maps (create the "maps" 
	  subdirectory under your "id1" directory if you don't 
	  already have one). Then to play....

START Quake...
THEN...pull down the console	(by using the ~ tilde key)
	
	]skill 0          <--- or 1, or 2   
	]map slaughtr

**To all those who this applies: Consider getting WinQuake or Scitech 
Display Doctor and play Quake in a higher resolution. These textures 
are designed for med-high res and are not as appreciable otherwise. 
With either of those progs you do not need a super machine. I run in
640x480 with my P120.
================================================================

* Other Info *
This is my 5th SP level. Please let me know what you think of it and
feel free to offer any suggestions you may have.   

***** SPOILER WARNING - READ NO FURTHER if you don't want hints ******

Read 'Please Take Note' above. 

The map is non-linear during the center stages...though all major areas
will have to be traversed to complete. This will require backtracking a 
few times. A few hints where ya might get stuck...

*  Open the passenger side door of the truck, in the yard where you 1st
   enter the level. That turns on the truck's interior and box light.
   Then you'll be able to see the silver key :)
*  The door leading to the office is by one of the GIB-ER-MATIC 'skull'
   switches.
*  In the "blast freezer' room there is a control box that moves the
   crane-thing for moving the cubes...it will take out the Demon or the
   Shambler for you but you need a bit of timing:) The lethargic Sham
   in the cold water can be killed by shooting him from above.
*  The 'gold key door' is just outside of the office door that is by 
   the file cabinet. Through that door is the lunchroom and locker/
   bathroom.
*  To exit the level shoot out the left window in the lunchroom. That's
   the room with the still alive dog in the oven. Outside is a jeep,
   it will start moving once you position yourself in the middle of it.

SECRETS- most will need to be found to complete the level

#1 is directly behind one of the gib-er-matic teeth sets.
#2 is in the 'Blast Freezer' room behind the Sham about to be
   frozen into a Shamcube. Shoot the "Black Widow" spider that's 
   frozen in a little cube beside him to open the secret door.
#3 is directly below where you get the message "Service 
   personel only", right beside freezer room. It is in the blood 
   draining channels.
#4 is above the semi-auto-gibber in the room where you can 
   see the "Blast Freezer" sign. Ride the gibber up to get to it.
#5 is above the file cabinet in the office. Shoot the picture
   and it will move aside.
#6 is in a channel of off the blood pool in the 'juicer' room which
   is where the gold key is.
