Ain t What It Seems
by thunderfoot006

//***********************************************
INTRODUCTION

Hello! Thank you for downloading my map! This is my second map. I have become interested in making A2 maps lately because I have pretty much played all the ones available that I like. This map has something I thought was missing from A2. Namely, why do people expect all maps have certain things? Why do people expect they will always have these things? Why do people expect these things will always act/behave the same way? Hence, the name of the map. I haven t tried to overdo the map, just wanted to try out some new ideas.

//***********************************************
NOTE

Before I go any further, I would like to point out I credited the wrong person with giving me the idea behind my first map, Sao Magnifico.
The pictures upon which the first map was based were actually done by Fallen Graces.
I apologize sincerely to him for such a shameful mistake upon my part.
FG, I don t know yet how I will make this up to you, but I will.

//***********************************************

The back story for this map is non-existent. I could not think of a good one and I didn t want to bore you with something silly

WHAT THIS MOD IS

A patch which contains everything needed to the four player map Ain t What It Seems. It is set up for multiplayer, I think. but since I have not tested it in Multi, I am unsure.

//***********************************************
WHAT THIS MOD IS NOT

Tested for compatability with either FLOPs or PP 1.2.5. My laptop cannot play FLOPs so I saw no sense in trying to test this patch with these. I cannot answer ANY questions concerning this patch and FLOPs or PP 1.2.5 because I cannot use them together. I make mods for ST:A2 with the 1.1 Patch applied because I think this version of the game is still played or modded most often. If you want to try this patch with FLOPs or PP1.2.5 you do so with the prior understanding that I cannot help you with, nor be held accountable or responsible for, any problems which arise from combining or using this patch with either of them.

If the above statements mean you now dislike this mod, I am okay with this. I made this mod for me in the first place.

//***********************************************
POTENTIAL PROBLEMS

This patch has not been tested for compatability with either PP1.2.5 or FLOPs. My laptop cannot play FLOPs so I saw little sense in checking this. I have Yacuzza s Tactical Assault and Achilles Art of War installed. I haven t yet run across any problems with either of these but I did not really push either install to the limits of the game engine either.

This patch has been tested only against Instant Action vs. my laptop. I do not know if it will work in online Multiplayer. I accept no responsibility for your computer, disc, or application. This patch was checked for viruses and completeness before upload. If it does not work correctly the first time, please go back and read the Installation Instructions. Then, install the mod again AFTER you read the Installation Instructions.
