<<Drac's Introduction>>

"The InGen hunting parties carried the passcodes for our perimeter fences." ~ Hammond

In JPDS Plains, Tasha has uncovered and used the passcode to the first gate of the Plains Ecosystem Research & Observation zone, having found it with the body of a dead hunter somewhere in JPDS Streams (a puzzle which survives but, obviously, is no longer needed to load this level). With endless streches of tall grassland before her, she must figure out how to survive while searching for clues to Daniel in this new environment, oddly reminiscent of the African plains Hammond must have been accustomed to at his reserve in Kenya.

<<Notes On This Release>>

This is the second release of Jurassic Park: Dark Secrets, featuring the level known as "JPDS Plains". Since the level-load triggers for the levels are among the incomplete elements, you will have to load this level manually. You can do this from the main menu either by the standard level-load key function, or by clicking the faint "RF" letters on the left side, meant as a quick cheat for devs or sneaky players. To play the new release, open "JPDS~plains.scn".
"JPDS~streams.scn" and "demo.scn" will both open the first level. This release includes additional files which apply needed parameters for playing the "JPDS~streams.scn" version. (Again, those SCNs are the same. The duplication was made to allow the menu to load the first level as the New Game and keep an SCN of the proper name, for reference.)

This level is nearly as large as the entire terrain file for a retail Trespasser level such as Pine Valley, full of puzzles and things to discover. Given more time, there likely would have been some additional material and small improvements, but what you'll find in this level is all as good as finished. While much of it was set up by Draconisaurus, you can thank Tatu for bringing this level to life for its final form, especially as concerns the grassland regions. Without him it would be a pretty dull level. Enjoy!

<<System Requirements>>

(See "WelcomeToSiteB" from first release)

<<Installation>>

Just take the two folders ("MAPS" and "data") and drag them into the "JPDS" main folder, allowing files and filepaths to overwrite. No files from the first release will actually be overwritten.
