"PA_POTBEBOP" Pot City Bebop This is a single player sight seeing map. There is nothing to fight here. It an old long lost AvP2 community map that was created somewhere around 2002 to 2003. It was featured in 2 community map packs, CMP4 and UMP1. You'll find yourself starting in the parking lot of a bar. You can go into the bar and you'll see that it is a packed night. There are some secrets, read the read me for more information. Have fun! This add-on also adds the map as a multiplayer deathmatch map, although I do not recommend it as a serious multiplayer map at all. I only added this as a convenience in case someone wanted to play the map with other players. I do not recommend adding this map to any multiplayer community map pack especially a multiplayer one.
I did not create this map, I wanted to re-release it, so others may experience it as it's one of
those long lost AvP2 Maps made in the early years somewhere between 2002 and October 2003.
I have NO IDEA who originally created this level. It has come up a couple of times in the last
year and I wanted to share the map in a similar way to how it was originally presented way back then,
so that they can see what I was talking about.
I added new audio files for the soundtracks so they didn't sound as crappy. The drunk Ivan singing is originally from the person that created this map.
I was only able to find this map distributed in 2 community map packs without any credits or missing any clear attribution.
Those map packs were CMP4 and UMP1.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND ADDING THIS MAP TO A MULTIPLAYER MAP PACK SINCE IT'S SORT OF A GAG MAP.
It was removed from the Ultimate Map Pack for reasons.

Base : PA_POTBEBOP from Ultimate Map Pack 1 and Custom Map Pack 4
Construction Time : 1 hours
Known Bugs : This map comes with 3 sound files that override base AvP2 event sounds.
You will hear these sounds throughout the campaign missions and in many other AvP2 custom maps.
So, this isn't really a bug - it is all intentional with this map. Yes, it may annoy you, in which case,
you should stop loading the map with your game.
Make sure AvP2 is updated to the latest version, which is currently: 1.0.9.6
Copy and paste the .REZ file (POTCITYBEBOP.REZ) into your AvP2 game folder where the game is installed.
Start the game; and in the Game Launcher's Main Menu select 'Options'.
Enter (copy and paste, if you like) into the 'Command-line' Field:
-rez POTCITYBEBOP.REZ
Check the box marked "Always specify these command-line parameters" to always load the map.
Return to the Game Launcher's Main Menu and select: 'Play'. The game will then start with new map components loaded.
Select Single Player and then select CUSTOM LEVEL.
You should see this level appear within the list if you've loaded it correctly:
Worlds\Custom\MARINE\PA_POTBEBOP
Select it to play it.
If you already have a lot of custom levels loaded, you can scroll up and down the list using the UP/DOWN arrow keys
and PageDn/PageUp keys.
Easier Installation
------------
1. Make sure AvP2 is updated to the latest version, which is currently: 1.0.9.6
2. Copy and paste the .REZ file (POTCITYBEBOP.REZ) and the batch file, "AvP2Launch-PotBebop.bat" into your AvP2 game folder
where the game is installed.
3. Double-click the batch file, "AvP2Launch-PotBebop.bat" that you use just placed in your AvP 2 game folder.
*****
That should have launched the game with Pot City Bebop loaded.
If it didn't work, make sure you installed AvP2 correctly up to 1.0.9.6 and that you placed the 2 files in the right spot.
*****
Select Single Player and then select CUSTOM LEVEL.
You should see this level appear within the list if you've loaded it correctly:
Worlds\Custom\MARINE\PA_POTBEBOP
Select it to play it.
If you have a lot of custom levels loaded, you can scroll up and down the list using the UP/DOWN arrow keys and
PageDn/PageUp keys.
I do not know who the person was that originally created this map. I do remember playing it around 2003 - 2005 where
it was just this weird multiplayer map that takes place at a packed bar in AvP2 world. I remember entering the map and
I hear what turns out to be "Rain" by Steve Conte, a song featured in Cowboy Bebop. There's a dead or unconscious marine
outside being attended to by his buddies and it's raining out. I'm standing in a parking lot next to a Marine APC and
there's a big door with a bar sign over it.
Now the only, thing left to do, is to enter the bar.
Upon entering the bar, there's a whole commotion going on, a drunk Ivan is singing and the song 'Pot City' from Cowboy Bebop is playing.
This map didn't make a great multiplayer map beyond all the sights to be seen. There's one spawn area - the parking lot, and you can't
have a fun deathmatch with only one spawn area.
Not to mention, if a marine player kills any of the marine NPCs then
everybody gets booted off the server.
This map did cause quite a problem with community custom map packs, being Custom Map Pack 4 and Ultimate Map Pack 1 because the 2 sonudtracks
and the drunk Ivan singing overrided 3 AvP2 event sounds for some reason - I am guessing it was a troll by its creator.
I remember hearing the soundtracks and drunk Ivan randomly coming in at unexpected moments during the single player campaign and
on some of the other custom maps.
DoubleZero (00's new name) managed to patch Ultimate Map Pack 1 and removed the 3 offending sounds since I'm sure it annoyed a lot of
players and they let him know. Acid Glow's final version of his custom map pack, CMP4, still had the sounds in there. CMP4 was how DoubleZero got
a hold of the map. Between DoubleZero and I, we have no idea who made this map, PA_POTBEBOP and we couldn't find anything on it.
Those 3 offending sounds were:
Sounds\Events\ALARM.wav
Sounds\Events\ALIENATTACK.wav
Sounds\Events\PULLEY.wav
I remember people complaining about it around the time and rightfully so, since it can completely kill the
sci-fi Aliens vs. Predators tone of the rest of the game when a drunk guy randomly starts singing or the bebop music starts playing.
I did think it was an interesting prank though and I wanted to re-release as I think this weird map was still fun in its own way and
others may want to see this long lost treasure and experience the trippy annoyance again. :D
A list of secrets in the map.
Secret 1
3 of the NPC characters have dialogue and they'll speak to you - FIND THEM
Secret 2
The ceiling above the Iron Bears mercenaries can be destroyed revealing a crack.
A Predator player or an Alien player may then explore what's lies on the ceiling of the bar.
I'm providing a list here for your convenience of other maps where the offending audio plays.
*** Single Player Campaign Missions ***
"DRUNK IVAN SINGING"

Custom Map Pack 4 + Ultimate Map Pack 1 Version ORIGINAL:
* Original Version, released October 2003 and Summer 2005
Re-Release Version:
* This version - released February 2021.
* * Only thing changed is that the audio soundtracks were re-mastered.
This map is intended for single player only. It may still function in multiplayer although
there was only one spawn point placed, so that multiplayer match isn't going to be much fun after
everyone is done exploring the bar.
Again, this map contains 3 sound files that override or sound pack 3 AvP2 event sounds. So,
when you have this map loaded, you'll hear these weird sounds playing throughout the game.
To the unknown person that created this in the first place.
To x-M-x for helping track some of this info down - this prevented me from needing to go up stage and do my own drunk singing into the mic to bring this map back to life!
To Monolith for creating Aliens vs. Predator 2; and then giving us the tools so we could make it even better.
To everybody who downloads this map and sends feedback.
