GTA2 SANAN SCRAMBLE V2.8 README BY PYRO
=======================================

Introduction
------------

San-An Scramble is a fast-paced multiplayer racing game between 2, 3 or 4 players in the classic GTA map 'San Andreas'. The objective is simple. Race around San Andreas to a checkpoint first to trigger the next, denoted by the arrow for direction. There are 25 checkpoints to complete, and the winner is determined by whoever gets the most points by the 25th point by earning $500,000.

Version History
---------------

As a general rule of thumb with each update, you should overwrite all the old files with the new ones in this archive.

v2.8
- Fixed map that had missing textures on slopes, mostly in Marina, Sailors Wharf and Chinatown
- Updated STY file with correct properties for each tile, such as grass, metal wall etc
- Removed player suicide weapon
- Players receive $5,000 at the start of the race for 1 'free' respray. Before, players might not have scored enough to get a respray

v2.7
- Updated missing textures on the road where the tram tracks crossed a 2-lane road exit with my own texture (thanks to Cerbera for noticing this), so you NEED to update STY and GMP! 
- Updated missing texture on side of San Andreas Bridge with my own texture. Now it correctly shows the side texture without crashing into it
- Fixed some holes in the map
- Updated scripts. Checkpoints are now 2x2 instead of 1x1 (but the arrow remains the same)
- Reverted back to .txt for the readme file
- Changed all water level to Z: 0. This stops falling through water
- Fixed more red foot bridges (forgot 2)
- Fixed a bridge near an alcove. If you fell down, you couldn't get back. Now its blocked

v2.6
- Fixed San Andreas Bridge. Now you can cross over lanes going up the slope of the bridge including the central divide without ‘crashing’ into it
- Added a weapon to the player for ‘suicide’ purposes (see later on for details)
- Updated STY file
- Updated all script files and MMP files (including single player)
- Edited red foot bridges. All now have solid sides to them

v2.5
- Fixed map editor bugs (like Chinatown signpost)
- Added respray shops (5 in total). Note – you need $5,000 for the respray!
- Fixed respawn areas by Hospitals
- Re-added the single player MMP file for practising (go to Network setup for this)
- Compressed map size to 410KB

v2.0
- Fixed bugs inside STY file (thanks to Tyyppi for spotting this)
- Updated script to fix checkpoint 22 (thanks to Sektor)

v1.0
- Initial release of SanAn Scramble

Installation
------------

Copy the entire contents of this archive file into your GTA2\data directory. For sound, please go to your 'Audio' folder and copy and paste 'bil.sdt' and 'bil.raw' inside the directory. Rename them to 'sanb.sdt' and 'sanb.raw' respectively. That's it!

To uninstall, simply delete the files found in this archive.

Multiplayer Setup
-----------------

To host this game, start up Network GTA2 normally. Create your game and then set the level to either 'SanAn Scramble 2 Player', 'SanAn Scramble 3 Player' or 'SanAn Scramble 4 Player'. Due to the level type, the game type must be set to a 'Points' game set to '500,000'. This is due to whomever wins the race will win $500,000 and will be shown on the results screen after the game is over.

Notes
-----

There are no weapons (player or vehicle) on the map. It's just you, your vehicle and your rivals. If for some reason you destroy your car, you will be able to find plenty on the roads, and might even find a faster vehicle than the one you started in.

If 'Police' is switched on in multiplayer, the highest level it will raise to is level 3 and will result in a small challenge, but not impossible to overcome.

It is advisable to have your lighting set to 'Noon' for a number of reasons. Firstly, you'll be able to see more clearly, and secondly, there are no lights on the map!

Suicide
-------

Unfortunately, the map isn’t bug proof, and sometimes you may fall through the road or something dire. For this fix, I have included a weapon you can use to kill your character. Simply select it and press the ‘Fire’ button and your character will die and respawn at a hospital. Incase you are wondering what weapon, it is the only weapon your character has other than your fists (the un-used ‘Electro Baton’).

As stated in below, if you find a spot where there is an error, send me the details of it. Preferably, send the X, Y and Z coordinates to me so I can immediately fix it. If not, send me exact details of where it is (zone name, what it’s next to etc).

Credits
-------

I would like to thank the following for their help in this project:

Delfi - for converting the old GTA1 maps into GTA2 format, otherwise this project would never have happened!
Cerbera - for helping me with suitable checkpoint locations, testing with others and hosting my GTA2 Script Help (and the suggestion of creating SanAn Scramble) as well as finding map bugs.
Sektor - for sending me the map (and others) some time ago and helping find script bugs.
Tyyppi – spotting the STY file bug that made it crash randomly.

Good luck, and have fun racing!

If you have a bug report for the map, please send either the co-ordinate of the error or a detailed description of where it is (area name and any building its next to)! If I don’t know where it is, I can’t fix it! Thanks!
