* Comments *



In Quake and Doom I kept expecting to see a big trans-dimensional 

research lab with huge machines, but there wasn't one, so I made 

what I thought such a level should look like.

* How to use *



EASY WAY:

Copy slipcomp.bsp to quake\id1\maps (create the "maps" directory

if you don't already have one), then start Quake the way you normally

do, choose SINGLE PLAYER, then choose NEW GAME, then go thru the gate

to select what difficulty you want, then push the ~ key to access the 

Quake console, then type  MAP SLIPCOMP  then enter.

The down side of this method is that your slipcomp saves will 

overwrite your regular Quake saves.



HARDER WAY:

In your Quake directory make a directory named SLIPCOMP, inside

the slipcomp directory make a directory named MAPS, put the  unzipped

file SLIPCOMP.BSP into the maps directory.

It should look something like this:

C:\QUAKE\SLIPCOMP\MAPS\SLIPCOMP.BSP



In DOS go to the Quake directory and start Quake by entering:

QUAKE -GAME SLIPCOMP +MAP SLIPCOMP

this will put you in the level in normal difficulty.



QUAKE -GAME SLIPCOMP +SKILL 0 +MAP SLIPCOMP

Will put you in the level in easy difficulty.



QUAKE -GAME SLIPCOMP +SKILL 2 +MAP SLIPCOMP

Will put you in the level in hard difficulty.



This method puts your slipcomp saves into the SLIPCOMP directory and 

does not overwrite the saves from any other Quake games.
