------------  INSTALLING & UNINSTALLING TAC -------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
Client Install: NONE. 


Upgrade Server Install:
	1. Rename Tribes\config\TACUserList.cs to Tribes\config\TACUserList2.cs 
	   so you do not lose your old TAC userlist.
	
	2. Delete the entire Tribes\TAC directory

	3. Make a new Tribes\TAC directory and move TACUserlist2.cs from tribes/config into it 
	
	4. Delete Tribes\config\TAC.cs

	5. Follow the steps for a new server install listed below.
	
	6. Add your old users from TACUserlist2.cs into TACUserlist.cs and then delete TACUserlist2.cs


New Server Install: 
	1. Unzip into default Tribes Dir.
	   (where tribes.exe resides - UNZIP WITH PATH INFORMATION)
	This means:

	When installed The Files Should be here: 
		Tribes\TAC\scripts.vol
		Tribes\TAC\TACManual.zip
		Tribes\TAC\TAC_Readme.txt
		Tribes\TAC\TACUserlist.cs
		Tribes\TAC\TAC_MapRatings.cs
		Tribes\TAC\TAC_Settings.cs
		Tribes\TAC\missions\*.dsc
		Tribes\TAC\missions\*.mis

	NOTE: If these files are not in these folders...put them there.

	      
	
	2. Command line to run the mod.
	   (A command line is what you use to start the game.
	    for windows its called a shortcut. It's what you 
	    double click on to run the game.)

	   Just add "-mod TAC" to your current Server Command Line.
	   For Example:
		Running Normally. 
			tribes.exe
		Running this Mod.
			tribes.exe -mod TAC

	   If you have a custom Server Config then add the +exec Parameter
	   BEFORE The -mod parameter. 	
	   For Example:
		Running Normally. 
			tribes.exe +exec MyConfig.cs
		Running this Mod.
			tribes.exe +exec MyConfig.cs -mod TAC

	   If your runing dedicated and have a special server config. 
	   I suggest you use infinitespawn. (get it at tribesplayers.com)
	   For Example:
		Running Normally. 
			infinitespawn *tribes +exec MyConfig -dedicated
		Running this Mod.
			infinitespawn *tribes +exec MyConfig -mod TAC -dedicated


Uninstalling:

	Delete the Tribes\TAC Directory and everything in it. 
	Delete SmurfLog28001.cs from your config directory if you have 
	been using Smurf Hunter. All files are listed above. 
	THIS MOD DOES NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN TRIBES\BASE.
