                        ***RMAPS EDITORIAL VERSION 3.0***


        Well, the editorial has passed the most critical stage and is now a
regular member of the RMAPS family.  This editorial is writtin for anyone who
has an interest in Duke Nukem 3D but doesn't have as much time as me to look 
around for utilities and levels.

        WHAT'S NEW WITH THIS VERSION
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        Well, hmm, good question.  Alot I guess.  I finally got my new PC 
which is a Pentium 133 so it may affect my building.  I will still try to 
keep my levels simple but my frame rate compared to a 486/66 is much 
different.  So I may go over board a little, but don't worry because the 
people who test my levels will remind me.

        Also, 

        The RMAPS homebase is doing great, and they just can't wait for this
version and version 2.1 to come out.

        Now you may remember last version (1.1) I promised the Duke Nukem 
storyline?  Well as I said, I forgot.  I had to get version 1.1 out as soon
as possible so...
        Well I have included it in this version.  Check story.txt.


        RMAPS HISTORY
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^

        Here is a breif history of RMAPS        
        
        Sometime in may --->    I got Duke Nukem 3D(full version) and 
immediatly started using the BUILD that came with it.  My first level wasn't
very good so I started a new one originaly called newboard :) and it got
pretty good after a while.  Since my favorite thing in Duke3D was trains,
especially "Rabid Transit" so I wanted to make a train. My first attempt 
failed so after looking at other levels, it finally worked.  The train went 
into walls but hey, it was a train.  At the suggestion of a friend, I made
all the girls outside short.  Hence the name SHORTVILLE !  Also, after a
great idea of mine, I made a whore house.  But as you may have noticed, the
map doesn't really make sence! :(  

        Sometime later in May --->    After I realised that my first map
really sucked, I decided to make another map.  I compleately rethought my
train idea and made it come to life!  My train was almost perfect, and I 
found the floor that would electrocute you!  So then I made all the simple 
stuff like the water and the outside and then I decided to make a pool.  Boy
that was hard!  It really didn't work!  Well I didn't fix it before release
so :(.

        Sometime end May - beginning June --->   I wanted to put my maps out
on BBS's in a way that ever=ybody would get to know me so I thought up a 
little idea called RMAPS!  It was supposed to be RichardMAPS but a bit after,
my friend Eric Lancheres decided to be a part of RMAPS so we decided that it
would be ouR MAPS instead of RichardMAPS.  It made more sence.  So I wrote
up a text file and ziped it up and created RMAPS!  I put it on Red Dwarf 
first since it has a base for Duke Nukem 3D.  Then I put it on Next Generation
because it was my favorite BBS.  I emeadiatly got E-MAIL from people who had
comments.

        Sometime in June --->   I was getting bored of my cheap crappy levels
so I decided to make a new one. Well you guessed it!  Then came condemed.  It
took me about 1 day to make and I rushed through it to be able to put RMAPS 2
out as soon as possible.  I left alot of bugs and made it extreamly slow. I'd
say that it came out two days later!  RMAPS2 was born....

        Sometime later in June --->   I was about to make another RMAPS but
limited time made me decide to simply fix all the bugs from RMAPS ver 1.0.
Thus was born RMAPS ver 1.1!  Also, the RMAPS logo in all levels was adopted.
Also, the RMAPS editorial showed it's first version.

        June 15th 1996 --->   I started making my new level with the hope of
getting RMAPS 3 out on the 17th.  I was hoping that Eric Would have finished
his FIRST level.  But at the time I am writting this Editorial I am still 
unsure of that.  Also, I have adopted the new Story.Txt which is the Duke 
Nukem 3D story line.  I hope we will see it again....

        LEVEL NOTES
        ^^^^^^^^^^^
MANCER01 <<<<<

        I have played this level alot and find it to be very interesting!
It is made by COLE SAVAGE (MANCER) is small but extreamly well made.

        If you would like a copy, you can E-MAIL him at cole@dodgenet.com
I find it is amazing!  It might show up in RMAPS version 3.0

        Hey!  You're actually reading this??  Cool!  Try opening the wall on 
the right side of the pool in Transit.Map!  It's near the diving board on the
side closest to the houses!

        
D3DRILL <<<<<        

        D3DRILL has just showed up on the net from DAVID DAVIDSON (DRILLER)   
and it's just perfect for DukeMatch.  This level in a kind of turn-around
level and it will give you alot of action.

        For a copy, call W.O.Y.I. or E-Mail him at driller@cris.com.  I am
hoping I will get permission to put it in RMAPS ver 4.0.
