---Disclaimer---
The author will not be responsible for what damage, if any, this level does
to your system. The author has tested this level fully and found no problems
on his system. Another words, don't complain to me if your system hangs,
crashes, etc. Please do NOT modify this level without my permission. You may
Distribute this level unmodified, and all files intact.
---Extraction tips---
Please just extract this to your Descent 2 main directory, not in the
MISSIONS directory, and make sure a 'Use Folder Names' option is used.
---System requirements---
Descent 2 registered version 1.2 or greater
Note: You can play without 1.2 or greater, but you will not get the full
effect of customized robots, light effects, and edited walls. All in
all, it will just plain stink without 1.2 or greater.
---About the level---
This level is a modified version of "Minerva2". I spent a lot of time
perfecting the triggers, textures, etc., but I know there are some that got
away from me, so when people email me the problem (dibble@slic.com, include
a screen shot or a demo of the area with the problem), and I'll fix it and
you will be recognized.
I have also included a demo that will help you get the Blue key, after that,
you're on your own.
---FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)---
Q. After I start a new game, why does my Guide-Bot go forward a bit then
point down shooting flares at the grate?
A. That has to be a Descent 2 bug. The Guide-Bot takes the shortest route,
but in this case, the quickest route is through a grate, which you or it
can't take.
Q. What's with the "Password" thing on the debriefing?
A. That's the password to access The Minerva Madness Warehouse.

---About the MM.BAT and MMUN.BAT---
MM.BAT is a batch file used to install Minerva Madness. MMUN.BAT removes
Minerva Madness from your Descent2 directory, putting it back in
the Missions\Minemd directory.
example:
C:\GAMES\DESCENT2>MM
However, if Descent2 isn't installed in the \GAMES\DESCENT2 directory, do NOT
run MM.BAT or MMUN.BAT. You must install this manually. From the
MISSIONS\MINEMD directory:
I created this level due to the response I got to my level Tribute.
I had several people asking for another fast moving level that had the same
"able to get out of anywhere" feel of most of my levels. So....I created this
level. I added some areas and features that I found were really fun in some
of the other levels that I have created. This level should run REALLY smooth
on any machine and should be a blast with only two players and total and
absolute chaos with 3 or more.....I hope you like it.
HAVE FUN!!!!!
Thanks, as always, to Argon*Paladin for his kindness and patience. Thanks to
the whole KALI crew.....you know who you are! Thanks also to PooterMan for
posting my levels and taking the time to maintain such a great page filled
with neat stuff.
This level was created using beta version 0.9a of the Descent Mission Builder
for Windows.
PS. I love Jennifer.
