10/27/97 SOFSP2.TXT [2 new Quake Single Player levels] ================================================================ TITLE: "Soldier of Fortune, Inc." Visit the Rysher web site at http://www.rysher.com/ ================================================================ NOTE: This pak contains Soldier of Fortune SOF2 and SOF3 maps. They are a continuation of the 'mission' started in SOF1. The pak0.pak file in SOFsp1 is also required. * Registered Quake version 1.06 is required ================================================================ Author : Neil Manke - neil@mail.netshop.net Quake C : Einar Saukas - einar@ime.usp.br ================================================================ STORY: In the summer of 1988, Matt Shepherd led an elite commando team on a top-secret mission to a classified location in South America. Intelligence had it that an unscrupulous group of genetic scientists were tampering with the very laws of nature in an effort to provide rebel forces with a deadly bio-weapon. Shepherd's orders were simple: scope out the facility, determine the nature of the threat, and, if necessary, reduce it to rubble. In the end, Shepherd was the only man to return alive. His story was incredible, unbelievable... unspeakable...until now. When Shepherd made it back and told his commanding officers what he had seen, they were unfazed. He later learned that, soon after his escape, government agents landed in the area and collected all remaining documents, experiments and the bizarrely twisted corpses of the creatures Shepherd had destroyed. He was never asked to file a report, he was never even questioned -- it was almost as if the mission had never happened. He now only relives the experience in his nightmares... ================================================================ ================================================================ +++Watch SOLDIER OF FORTUNE INC. on TV!

Info on changing that is in your Quake>techinfo.txt or see below. NOTE: If you don't have SOFSP1 installed then do so first and according to the instructions with it.... As per following diagram, unzip the pak1.pak in 'sofsp2.zip' into the soldier directory and directly besides the pak0.pak that was required for sofsp1. * DO NOT extract into the id1 directory * C:\QUAKE | +--- ID1 | | | +--- MAPS | +--- SOLDIER---pak0.pak | | | ---pak1.pak Start quake with the parameter: QUAKE -game soldier THEN ...select SINGLE PLAYER then select NEW GAME **Win95 EXAMPLE (also allocates 16 megs to quake): Quake properties>Program>Cmd Line: C:\QUAKE\QUAKE.EXE -winmem 16 -game soldier NOTE: If you have already played SOF1 and would prefer starting at SOF2 you can pull down the console and choose your [skill #] then [map sof2]. Sof2 is designed so that you don't need the 'carry over' weapons. NOTE: I am unfamiliar with Quake commands when running directly from DOS...if you have any problems, most major SP Review sites have good info on running Quake add-on levels and PAKS. ================================================================= +++ SPOILER WARNING - READ NO FURTHER IF YOU DON'T WANT HINTS +++ ================================================================= SOF Start Map * HQ room. Push chair that is by the wall towards the file cabinet. Jump onto the upper part of the chair back and then onto the file cabinet. Behing the vent there is a silver key that will let you out of the room. Select your skill in the security room. Security door is opened by jumping up on chair in HQ room and opening the MCU [Mobile Command Unit]. Push button on security room wall to open bedroom door.... and then go to bed. SOF1 * There is a large boulder blocking the ledge path above where the helicopter lands. You must find your way through an underwater passage to a waterfall. Behind the waterfall is a rocket launcher which will remove the rock from the path and allow you on your way. * Explore the helicopter a bit after initial fighting stops. *To open the large wood gate after the indian village...find the wood mask totem on the wall of one of the huts in the village. Get close to it and it will say "underwater grate opened". Then go to into the pond in front of the village and there you'll find an underwater passage. Take a big breath then swim down it to a little underwater room. Make sure to get close to the red-painted face on the wall there and a message will say, "large gate has opened". Then swim out the heading the same direction you were going as you swam in. * There is a barrel with a red explosive warning sign on it near the level's end. This MUST be shot with a rocket to blow a hole in the rock wall. * There is only one silver keycard required and it's to open the last door. It is in a pit trap at the end of the wooden bridge. The pit has two stakes that skewer you unless you jump onto the lowest one to get out of the other one's way. Then jump up on the other one and out. SOF2- * Go to end of all where the "Freight" elevator is and a soldier will come up and open the door. Go down and try to avoid the explosive barrels that hits the elevator opening frame. * Push the body table towards the incinerator and the incinerator door will open and you can jump in [carefully] and get to a tight passage that will take you to the walkway above. Follow the walkway to the other room and you can get the silver key. * Shoot the 3 morge body doors [they have ice on] and they will open and you can jump along them to get to the vent above the silver key door. Behind the vent is a secret area. * A secret little room also opens [when the vent opens] in the dark part of the walkway opposite the vent. A secret area is there also. * Go through silver key door and up elevator and you will come to the holding cells area. Fight your way to the overlooking walk area and there you can free 'Dale' ...a prisoner of the previous failed mission. There are two red-arrow switches up there. I triggers an lift across the room and there is a secret area below the lift and if you ride it up. * The other red-arrow says feeding when you push it and it frees the mutant monsters and lowers a couple dogs for them to eat...then they will be your friends. You will need them to fight the humongeously tough mutant Bio-Boss:] * Break the glass window [near the arrow switches], it requires at least a dbl-barrelled shotgun blast to break. Then quickly jump down and run to the doors on your left and get back into the room with your 'fiends'. Try and stay out of harms way and let them do the killing for you. * In the room where the Bio-Boss was there is a computer monitor you must break and behind it is a switch which will lower the gold key. * Break the beakers in the bookcase there and another secret room will be revealed. * take the gold key back to the door that was right by the elevator you came down in. In that room is several explosive chemical barrels that you must blow up. Stand well away...shoot the lone one around the corner first [red warning sign on]...then move to where it was and shoot the other barrel with a red sign on. There is a vent behind there that will take you to a lift and up. * Shoot the vent at the end and it will open. Head off to the right and you can get your mutant buddies if you need them. * Go back and into the warehouse room. Get to the forklight and drive it off of the access grate it's covering. Shoot the red switch below and the grate will open. Jump down and follow the path to a lift and go up. Straight ahead is a red arrow...push it and it unlocks the the exit elevator switch [where you entered the level]. * You can now leave the level by taking the elevator up. SOF3- *It's easiest to take the high road back to the chopper [the way through the caves where the spike traps are]. *Once back at the helicopter... move beside the broken oil line and it automatically gets fixed [with the pipeline repair kit you picked-up in SOF2]. Get by the helicopter's flight stick to start the chopper. * Do not jump out of the helicopter as it takes off or it will crash and you will be marooned in the level:[ Special Note: the ending audio message can be hard to understand, it says, "There is a Med-Vac on the way to pick-up Dale".
