About This File
This is my first public map for JKHub, I hope it satisfies the expectations of the community and compensates for the wait, sorry if it took me a long time to release this project, but I wanted to accomplish all the possible expectations. This map is a very close recreation of the original West South Vale scenario from Silent Hill 2. You will see that I have used quite a few objects from SH2 and other games to make this project, this is because I wanted to achieve an experience very close to what can be offered in the SH2 - Zealot's Camera mod. Although many things have been ported, a reconstruction and optimization of the models has been done to make that there were no gaps or empty spaces that could affect the player's experience in this project, likewise in the Readme.txt file is specified more about the origin of each object or texture and their respective credit and appreciation. This map has a good size, however I could not leave it at the original size, due to the limits of the waypoints and combat points. I want to emphasize that the original design of this map is from Team Silent and Konami, I was only responsible for replicating it, likewise is specified in the Readme.txt
The map has Easter Eggs, try to find them all!
Note for SP players: Maps that you can find, are only displayed on the screen in Single Player.
The Source Files are included as well as how to compile them again, for more information see the Readme.txt.

For editors:
To recompile the map you must do and have the following:
1: The files you need are in: devMap folder, add them to your map path you consider.
2: You must have NetRadiant 1.6.0 or NetRadiant Custom and its JA configuration.
3: You must replace the shaderlist.txt with the one in the file: Silent_Hill_2-West_Side_Of_The_Town-Source.pk3 or simply add the following directions to your shaderlist.txt:
dev_clip
silent-hill_grass
silent-hill_metal
silent-hill_models_render
silent-hill_skies
silent-hill_vehicles_render
silent-hill_water_render

4: Use the next configuration in Build:
Q3Map2: (simulate old style -light -extra) BSP -meta, -vis, -light -super 2
5: With this configuration is enough, but in case I missed to explain something, don't forget to contact SCP_CHAOS1 in JKHub. On Discord: the_darkside3842

I SCP_CHAOS1, I ported them from SH2 and made some modifications (adding new eyes, model cuts, gaps, etc...), I was also in charge of the creation of the NPC/Bots files, sounds, shaders, and texture modifications. DarthValeria was in charge of giving life (Rigging and weighting) most of these models, thank you very much for this great work. However, there were other collaborators in this project, for more information read Readme.txt
