Author "flipmode" has gone more in the direction of the original episode of BJ battling the Axis to stop the resurrection of a powerful god. Known as "Wotan" the Axis are hoping his return to life will enable them to defeat the Allies. This adventure takes place at night,the lighting is perfect on a full moon,and the AI enemies are nicely placed for a fair fight,the standard mp-40,thompson and fg-42 make appearances as well as replacement ammo and health kits. This is a short adventure taking under an hour to complete. Bill Brown's music accompanies the game, the leather clad nazi babes make their appearance mid-game so be careful with their black outfits in the night! The game's main battleground is a custom castle,containing the resting place of Wotan. Overall a good single player map,and worth the download! "flipmode" is cranking out some nice work..so give this a try!

### WOTAN BETA 1.0 ###
######################
RtcW singleplayer map >Wotan< by flipmode, jan.2003
installation: extract the Wotan.zip file straight into your Return to castle Wolfenstein directory.
do NOT extract it to Rtcw's "main" folder, like u might be used to from multiplayer
maps. after extracting u should have a >wotan<-folder in your Return to castle Wolfenstein
directory.
in example: C:/Return to castle Wolfenstein/Wotan
to PLAY you have to go to the Wotan folder and start it from the Wotan.bat icon.
this should work for most players. for the case u get stuck on startup please bring
down the console (the big window you also use for chat) and type: /spmap wotan
description: Wotan is a pretty big outdoor map with several buildings. You have to fight your way
to castle Wotan, get some dynamite, stop a ceremony, and at last explode the altar
(detailed briefing ingame).
wise use of weapons will ease your mission. you can save your game anytime just like
on the RtcW retailversion (and i recommend to do so:)
The story is inspired by Professor Carl Gustav Jung's theory about "Wotanism".
used editors: GtkRadiant, compiled with q3map2, terrain with easygen.
known bugs: some shaderprobs on the terrain.
a door at the castle sometimes opens the wrong direction.
lights in the 1rst house miss a texture; i didnt find this too disturbing
and the models look fine so i kept em.
if you meet any other bugs please report them by mail.
