                            Real Minerva One

                                 by Spaz

                revamped for Descent II FOR REAL by Thibor

                      with a bit of help from DMB2



This simple little level made by Spaz has been EASILY the most played Descent1

level to date that didn't come with the original package.  I just got DMB2 and

with it I am able to give you the TRUE translation from the D1 version to what

you have now.  Throw away Minerva2, because that isn't what Minerva is all about.

No room for afterburners!!! >:)



The only thing I added was the energy texture to the energy center in one of

the halls, and a second spreadfire cannon (as the level has 2 of everything

but spreadfire and the fusion... but who wants two fusions?)



I did this mainly because I love the first one and I love my rear view window

in D2.  AND I hate Minerva2 because there are graphic mistakes all over the

place, and corners that I get snagged on that I never used to get snagged on

in the original.  DMB2 allows a COMPLETE translation from D1 to D2... 

unfortunately the brick texture in the level was not redone in D2... so I 

cheated.  By using the texture editor in DMB2, I was able to cut and paste 

the old bricks into the new level.  Unfortunately this means that only 

Descent 2 v1.2 users can play.



GET THE PATCH and HAVE FUN!

And now a word (the original words, actually...) from the original author...



p.s.  He loves Jennifer.

     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.
