Welcome to  "JMM" (Jonas modified Maps) V2.3 Final!
===================================================

1. General

This archive contains more than 50 new maps for JA2 (not for UB!).
It is not a new weapon-Mod! All the attributes of items and weapons remain unchanged.
Therefore these maps are an excellent addition for existing (weapon-)mods!

To make JMM even more versatile I have split the maps into dufferent folders: 

-Base Set (Maps) 
-Easy
-alt(ernate)
-VPC 

The Base Set is the kernel of JMM and should always be installed.
"Easy" is only for people, for who the "normal" game is still too hard!
"Alt" isnt really needed, but you may try them out!     
"VPC" only for Mac-Users with Virtual PC - but they work for PC-Users as well 


2. Installation/De-Installation:

First you should save the following folders:

	/JA2/DATA/MAPS   and. 
	/JA2/DATA/RADARMAPS 

that means, if they exist.
(f.e: Rename to MAPS.old etc.) 

Then extract the contents of this archive into a temp-Folder.
Now copy the wanted maps (maps_xxx) into /JA2/DATA/ 
	

Note!
The changes will be effective at once if you havent entered the sector before. 
When you have entered the sector before the new sector will still be there, 
but all the (new) items will be missing.

For the De-Installation simply restore the backuped folders and start a new game.


3. Contents: 

For all changes look at the file SECRET.TXT
This document describes all the changes made. But this file is -still-in german  
To make it a bit harder (and I dont want to translate it too, because it spoils 
most of the fun!)

Warning!

To gain the maximum fun, DONT try to read this file!

Dont say, I didnt warn you!


4. Hints:

Here are some infos, which - I hope- wont spoil the fun:

- Cambria is now the central: You can reach 7 other cities from here
  in no time - this includes San Mona
- Some maps now have militia
  that may help a lot in conquering (or defending) that sector!
  These Militia will respawn! They will be there anytime you get
  there. Promotions however must be ignored - they take not place!
- Be careful picking up items (stealing), it can be dangerous. 
  Killing harmless civilians may result in a big surprise!!
- Demoville is there - including the basement - have a look!
- The Mine of chitzena has been closed for visitors - and mercs!
- KingPin now has much more money in his mine - Perhaps now you dont 
  need to kill him - just give him back his 30.000$ 
  If someone still wants the "original" treasure, just delete the 
  map "D5_b1"  perhaps you will do the same for d4_b1.
- There are Aliens in a certain city! They shoot with green lasers
  (Dont know how that is happening....)
- A sea voyage can be fun - Now 3 coast maps are connected!
- There are special Treasure maps (6 of them)
  To make it harder for the pros, they should avoid these maps or
  Simply dont take the treasure there 
  Beginners however will very much appreciate this....a
  Or: Dont install the "Easy" maps - this will leave you with 2
  Treasures only!
  There is also a pic for 2 of these treasures included (taken from 
  the campaign "HardtoDie" from Deutscher)
- The maps which are ending with "a" are alternate maps 
  They may be renamed and used 
- Map G6a may crash!
  Well the "normal" map G6 wont crash....!
