//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

A) Why release before its done?

1) The RTCW Community is slowing down.

2) The best way to test the mod is for it to be public online.

3) Before we are 110% finished with the mod-TC it will be about 2 years From now
and if we do not release until then everyone will have moved on to other games.

4) Look at the navyseal mod, they waited too long over 2 years! as for CS they released in
3 months after they started they mod and it had 1 level when they started! 

1 level to start and releases every few months vs waiting a few years and being forgotten.


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

B)
A patch with new DLL's and .SO files will be out in a few weeks or less
and test 2 is also coming out in a few weeks since we have a many levels that are 
almost done and to be fair to the level designers or the players and
its best to publically release levels when they are 110% finished.


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

C) Quick install:

Use Winzip or Winrar and unzip the file in D:/rtcw/
and sfww2 directory will be created and all files will be installed in that dir



//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


D) NOTE on Manual INSTALLING:


CREATE A DIRECTORY IN C:/rtcw/sfww2 and put all the pak files (.pk3) in the directory 
in that directory and the .dll files (.so files for Linux ) and your set. You must have
the newest 1.33 version of RTCW. (We know there are not paked up but in future releases they will be)

Run multiplayer RTCW and go to options menu and double click mods and your set.


NOTE ON FUTURE RELEASES: 
IN THE FUTURE (SOON) NEW WEAPONS AND
PLAYER MODELS WITH SKINS WILL BE ADDED.

ALSO: A patch (dlls and .so files for linux) will be released in about a week after 
test 1.
