WELCOME
===========================================================================
=============
Hello and thank you for downloading Enhancment, the instagib level pack for
Jazz
Jackrabbit 2. Instagib is a modification for JJ2 game modes where health is
involved.
Players will have only one heart instead of 3 or 5 meaning you only need to
get hit once
to die as well as hit your enemies once to kill them.

This level pack contains 50 of those MID-HIGH quality levles for instant
gib, custom
tilesets and new music. The levels come in a large number however they are
very small.
If you are planning to use only this level pack in your level cycle it is
ok to set the
roast limit up to 50 but if you plan to add it to a cycle with some larger
levels then
30 roast limit (or less) is recommended.

Because these levels are very small, the roast limit is easily reached so
they are ideal
for fast battles (with 15 to 30 roast limit) however if you add some larger
levels to
the cycle, reaching the roast limit above 50 may become difficult and the
whole game can
become boring. All of these levels are designed to run in a 50 level loop.
You can have
them load randomly by importing the level list located in enh.txt into
Level Mixer (Jazz
2 Mutation) level cycle list.

All levels have the same password which is "statis".



===========================================================================
=============
Some hints for playing instagib:
===========================================================================
=============
 Unpowered seekers are the best weapon in instagib because they lock on
targets
automatically and are faster than the powered ones. Remember! In instagib
you only need
to hit the enemy once. Damage doesn't matter.


 You will find out that some of these levels have shields! Shields are
usually not
welcome in multiplayer because they give an unfair advantage however in
instagib they
can be a very handy tool. All levels with shields are designed to give you
max of 15
seconds of shield. This will give you some "armor" in instagib allowing you
to take 3
extra hits before being killed. Each hit decreases the shield duration by 5
seconds so
take an advantage while you can!


 Some levels have special punishment areas which will make you wait for a
short period
of time if you get in contact with them (like void at the bottom in some
levels). Time
is valuable in instagib so try to avoid these areas.


 You will as well notice that every weapon in instagib has its own
priority. Some
levels have the following weapon placement: The further/deeper you go into
the level
the better weapons you get. 


 Seekers are usually placed at good camping spots. However there is always
electro
blaster somewhere near and ready to take out that nasty camper in the
seeker room.


 Use toaster in small packed rooms and shoot the flames left and right as
fast as you
can while in the air. This will result in dealing damage to a large area
and any unlucky
player to enter the hurt zone will quickly become one more point to your
roast count.
Using toaster when jumping off a spring from the ground will result in
twice as much
flame.


 Death rate is high in instagib. In games with optimal player count you are
not expected
to live very long so shoot as much as you can to make the best use of the
ammo you
collect. Remember! Any shot not fired, misses. Yes, it's true!

Please note that all of the levels begin with "IGS_" which makes it
impossible to start
in JJ2 (chracter "_" is untypable in JJ2). You will either have to add the
pack to your
own level cycle and start it with another level or use Project Controller 4
to enter the
loop by editing the next level setting and skipping current level (easier).
You can get
Project Controller at:

=> Project Controller 4 - supports 1.23 and 1.24 (TSF)
http://www.jazz2online.com/downloads/moreinfo.php?levelid=1334
http://www.geocities.com/atlastsome/jj2/downlink.htm



Hosting Instagib:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------
If you are new to Project Controller remember to read the manual that came
with the
download. It explains all the functions of the program. To host Instant Gib
(InstaGib)
you will need to get one of the following programs:

=> Project Cataclysm - supports 1.23 and 1.24 (TSF)
http://www.jazz2online.com/downloads/moreinfo.php?levelid=819
http://www.geocities.com/atlastsome/jj2/downlink.htm

=> Red Ninja's Instagib Program - for 1.23 only
