Dreammatrix: Re; Beta 2
About this path beta 2, all paks have been re-built from the ground up since the first beta.
Beta 2 has more maps, various maps such as de_dust and others now play without freezing, and models
of weapons, characters, etc. have been updated. This path still uses textures paks (.wad) containing
.bmp images from the normal PC version, but Russian Cpauer (who initiated this project) found a tool
to convert all .bmp textures to the the Dreamcast .pvr texture format, and inject them into the .wad
texture pak, and the result occupies 1/8 of the size of a normal wad freeing more memory for dc.
The sounds use a special codec that compact the .wav for 1/3 of the original size, in the future of
all the sounds of weapons, music etc will be compacted. The models of weapons of the hldc use
textures pvr. With certainty, in the future more maps like cs_Iraq are going to play without locking
up for lack of memory.

The Indian Maoists is a Terrorist Organization founded in year 2004 by an International meeting . The Indian Maoists is also joint with Nepal Maoists and followed by Naxalites. It was founded on October, 2004 by an International meeting held by various Maoists and Militants.
Organization
All Maoist rebels and parties, including People’s War Group (PWG) and Maoist Communist Center (MCC) had merged to form a new outfit namely Communist Party of Indian-Maoist (CPI-M) on October 15, 2004. Muppala Lakshman Rao alias Ganapathi Rao had recently been elected its Secretary. The decision to assist the Maoist rebels of Nepal was taken at a secret meeting of the Maoist activists of eight countries held in Kolkata in India. They also discussed the present status of rebellion in India. The Maoists of Peru, Netherlands, Norway, France, Germany, Sri Lanka, Nepal and India participated in the meeting. The Tamil Tigers and rebels of the United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA) were present as special invitees.
The Nepal Maoists have taken control most or all of Nepal and tend to win elections by 10 April 2008 (see List of political parties in Nepal) . The Maoists also aim to establish The Compact Revolutionary Zone in India as well.
The Compact Revolutionary Zone
The Compact Revolutionary Zone (also known as the "Red Corridor of armed struggle") ) is a region that the and other Naxalites aim to establish as a continuous revolutionary base area from which to advance the people's war in India. The area runs from Nepal, where Maoists are conducting the Nepalese People's War, through parts of six states in eastern India: Bihar, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, and Andhra Pradesh. The intention is to have a continuous stretch of territory under their influence and control, with the ultimate goal of eventually liberating the entire zone. Large parts of this territory have already been brought under Maoist influence with only some link-ups now necessary in the remaining pockets to make the CRZ a reality. Once achieved, the CRZ will virtually drive a wedge through the vital areas of the country, and would help crystallize linkages with other Maoist groups operating in South Asia, including the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M) and the Communist Party of Bhutan-Maoist (CPB-M).
Affiliations
Sri Lanka's Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam have also supported Indian and Nepalese Maoists by providing training and proposals to them. It was decided in the meeting that the LTTE would provide full support to the Indian and Nepalese Maoists and Indian Maoists would provide shelter and training camps to the Maoist militants of Nepal within India. A training camp of the Tamil Tigers is being run at district Narkatiaganj and Ghorasahan. Ghorasahan is located between Sitamarhi and Champaran near Nepal borders in Bihar of India.
Communist Party of India (Maoist)
The Communist Party of India (Maoist) is an Maoist political party in India. It was founded on September 21, 2004, through the merger of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) People's War and the Maoist Communist Centre of India. The merger was announced to the public on October 14 the same year. In the merger a provisional central committee was constituted, with PW leader Muppala Lakshman Rao alias Ganapathi Rao as General Secretary.]]
Military
The military wings of the respective organisations, People's Liberation Guerrilla Army (military wing of MCCI) and People's Guerrilla Army (military wing of PW), were also merged. The name of the unified military organisation is People's Liberation Guerrilla Army. P.V. Ramana, of the Observer Research Foundation in Delhi estimates the Naxilites' current strength at 9,000 -10,000 armed fighters, with access to about 6,500 firearms. The Asian Center for Human Rights alleges that the Maoists recruit child soldiers.

Ghetto rock is a genre of music which combines musical elements of primarily hip hop, hard rock, and heavy metal music.
Elements of jazz, reggae, and R&B have also been known to appear in ghetto rock. Unlike the rapcore of the 1990s and early 2000s - performed by bands like Rage Against the Machine, Body Count, , Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock - ghetto rock is instrumentally heavier, contains rhymed lyrics whose flows are ostensibly influenced by old school hip hop (performed by, for instance, Dr. Dre, Snoop, NWA, Public Enemy and Run DMC), and contains highly sophisticated drum, bass, and guitar rhythms and techniques.
