Revision History
================
09/17/2000 - Not all the tools properly supported the FTX format. Tools were
updated so that FTX files would not have to be re-converted back into TGA
files for the tools proper use.
09/15/2000 - Initial Release

You will need to download the 3D Studio MAX SDK in order to rebuild the
plugins. The lipsync converter does not include the header or library from
Miles since that is not re-distributable.

Thank you and good luck,

INSTALLATION:

The tools ships with almost no game data. As a result you will have to unpack
pak0.pk3, pak1.pk3 and pak2.pk3 in order to start building maps for the game.
You will need about 750 MB free on your hard drive to unpack these files. To do
this, drop the PK3 files on zip extraction utility like WinZip and unpack the
paks with the Folder Names option checked into the "fakk" directory of this
install. Once you have unpacked the pak files, the editor and tools will be
able to access them freely.

In order to build maps directly from q3radiant you will need to make sure that
the file fakk.qe4 in fakk/scripts is setup properly. The file has been
configured for an installation in the c:\fakktools\ directory if this is not
the directory you installed the tools into, you will need to edit the fakk.qe4
file.

To run the editor, run runq3radiant.bat in the bin directory or you can
create a shortcut on your desktop by leftclick-dragging q3radiant.exe on
your desktop. Go the properties tab and add the following to the command line
(Target field):

q3radiant.exe ..\fakk\scripts\fakk.qe4
