*Summary*

A house floats in mid-air with a surrounding force field whereas no
soldier can go in or get out. A new disciple of the Stroggos has taken
refugee in this house. He is possessed by the enemy, the Stroggos. He would
not give the "head" until his demands are made...
The Special Task Force (STF) comes in to clear things up....
<SEE THE ORIGINAL "GOT MILK?" FOR FURTHER DETAILS>

*The Story after "GOT MILK?"*

Carmack: "Hello..."
You: <Joking> "You look 'terrible'..."
Carmack: <Laughs> "Thanks... I feel terrible.. <laughs> I like to thank
you for achieving my head..."
You: "No problem. Luckily, we have achieved the Stroggos' technology to
reattach it."
Carmack: "How was it?"
You: <Joking> "It was like watching a bad Star Trek episode, 'Spock's
Brain.'"
<Both Laughs>
Carmack: "Did you get the CD?"
You: "CD?"
Carmack: "That's what they were after. Apparently, they don't want me to
make that DOOM game.. since I kind've known their secret weapon."
You: "Were you possessed?"
Carmack: <Sigh> "Possibly. They accidently incorporated their plans into
my mind."
You: "Where is it?"
Carmack: "Must be at the convention."
You: "The SKYSCRAPER?"
Carmack: "Yes."
You: "It's well guarded and condemned."
Carmack: "Take the secret passage underneath the stairs. It used to be a
historical underground railroad for the slaves during the Civil
War. This would lead you to the SKYSCRAPER. And by all means,
get that CD."
You: "I will..."

Known Bugs : When first started, material errors list would
scroll down since these are orignal textures

Terror Quake 2 modification.

modicifation called, POKE 646.
: Other textures like the roof, house's exterior,
posters, panels, etc. downloaded, manipulated, and
created by me.
: History and pictures of the "Underground Railroad"
and the Civil War aspects were provided by the
NationalGeographic.com and other nice links which I
have forgotten to mention.....

Sounds : "Got Milk?" extracted from the actual commercial,
downloaded from the internet. Edited by using Cool
Edit Pro software.

Credits : I credit the late Terror Quake 2 modification for
the most wonderful and useful textures. Great job,
guys, whoever you are...
: I would also like to credit Q2Workshop and others
for providing tutorials for qED. Thanks. They were
very helpful.
: I contributed many thanks to the maker(s) of a great
game, POKE 646.
: I would personally like also to thank Ikka "Fingers"
Keranen for responding a simple e-mail, regarding
Quake 2 editing. Although, he couldn't remember
the exact procedure but his "clues" gave me the
answer. Thanks, Ikka, for responding.

* How to use this level *

Create a directory under your quake2 directory called rtxskyscrap
and unzip rtxskyscrap.zip into this directory. WARNING: DO NOT unzip the files
into your baseq2 directory!

Run the game by entering e.g. "quake2 +game rtxskyscrap +map rtxsky1 +set skill 2"
at the command line (pressing ~).

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!!!
Thanks for downloading it.

P.S. If a door doesn't open, you must kill the enemy who has the ability to
open it. Even, if you don't see him but "hear" him. Try shooting grenades..
.. <wink>
