* TRIBES 2 WAR2003 MODIFICATION *

*******************************************************************************

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

a)
Unzip the war2003 zip or exe to the c:\Dynamix\Tribes2\GameData\. Inside the GameData folder, you'll find several more folders- these are the game files for base and all mods, including Classic. Even if your directory structure if not default, the GameData folder is where you need to unzip or extract the mod. When extracting, there will be a dialog box pop up that will let you choose the directory, and also there should be in the lower left corner, check boxes giving more options. Make sure "Use Folders" and "Overwrite Existing Files" are checked. Even if you are not using WinZip, the utility you have should have option settings similar somewhere. If it doesn't, get rid of it- it's worthless. Checking these will insure that all files go where they need to.
When the process is done, you should have a new folder in your GameData directory, "War2003"

b)

Run the "nukedso_a.bat" file in the "...\Tribes2\GameData\BASE\SCRIPTS" directory
by double clicking on the file. This batch file first deletes all .dso
files from this directory on down or use the new link to it on the desktop.

c)
You can start a local game of Tribes2 War2003 by double clicking the
"War2003 - Offline" link in the "...\Tribes2\GameData\War2003" directory or the one the installer makes on your desktop.

d)
You can start a online game of Tribes2 War2003 by double clicking the
"War2003 - Online" file in the "...\Tribes2\GameData\War2003" directory.

e)
You can start a dedicated server. by double clicking the
"War2003 - Server" link in the "...\Tribes2\GameData\War2003" directory or the one the installer makes on your desktop.

f) You will find server admin options in the war2003 prefs folder, look at the War2003Prefs
and the War2003AdminPrefs, they have lots of options, good luck...

final)
If you can't get the mod to run the first time after deleting the base scripts DSO's
try deleting them again and then use the dedicated server link "War2003 - Server" and look at the load screen to see if theres a bunch of war2003 mod files being loaded. if they are then it should be running ok. from time to time you will need to delete all the base scripts DSO's if you can't get the mod running.

Hope you have fun playing this mod!
