Name: Insomniax.net TRIBES Mod.
Version: 0.9b (For TRIBES Version 1.7 and above)
Date: 1-23-2000
Author: Kevin Savage (*IX*Savage1)
Email: Savage1@insomniax.net
URL: http://www.insomniax.net/mods
Purpose: To Maintain Game Balance and Increase Complexity. 
	 Also Increasing Intensity of Gameplay, with Teamwork. 

Notes:  This Mod Does NOT make changes to ANYTHING in Tribes\base. 
	This can be installed without harm to standard Tribes\base 
	games or any other mods. This Mod is NOT meant to be run 
	with IX-Admin. IX-Admin is Built into the Insomniax Mod.
	IX-Admin is a by product of this mod.  Combining them is
	pointless, and could generate problems with the mod. 

Thanks: To the Tribes Dev Team, and All those at Dynamix/Sierra that
	make this game possible. I'd also like to thank them, and 
	specificly Tim Gift, for answering my emails with questions
	about this or that, and taking bug reports. They seem to 
	truely care about what goes into the game. I admire them for
        that.
  		 Thanks.

	I'd also like to thank *IX*LongBow and others that took the time
	to test this or that whenever I asked "Hey, got a minute?". 
	Without that, I wouldn't have gotten nearly as much done. 
		Thanks guys.

Known Bugs: 
	VARIOUS PROBLEMS OCCUR WHEN RUNNING THIS MOD WITH OTHER MODS.
	
	When using next weapon, and previous weapon, when you 
	have no ammo for the "base" weapons, but you do for the 
	new mod weapons.  You get a message "Mortar has no ammo".
	It changes weapons fine though.  I'll squash this one later.

	When firing the vengeance, if your walking forward diring 
	the firing sequence.  Sometimes the missiles will spawn
	behind you and hit you in the back.  Stand still! hehe. 
	    
---------------------------------------------------------------

Client Install: NONE. 
	Notes for Client Playing the mod. Weapons can be accessed
	by Selecting "Next Weapon" or "Previous Weapon". There are
	no Numbers assigned to the new weapons. (Default key is 'Q')
	In order to bind the weapons and items you need to use(ItemName)
	The Item Names for each item is listed with the items below.

Server Install: 
	1. Unzip IXTribes09b.zip into default Tribes Dir.
	   (where tribes.exe resides - UNZIP WITH PATH INFORMATION)
	This means:

	When installed The Files Should be here: 
		Tribes\config\insomniax.cs
	 	Tribes\config\ixUserList.cs
		Tribes\insomniax\Readme.txt
		Tribes\insomniax\scripts.vol
		Tribes\insomniax\WhatsNew.txt
		Tribes\insomniax\WhatsOld.txt
	 
	Any Maps Included with this Mod should be here:
		Tribes\insomniax\missions

	NOTE: If these files are not in these folders ..put them there.
	      IF THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME INSTALLING and you have the 
	      insomniax.cs file already you don't need to unzip this
	      one. You can choose to add the new variables, or not.
	      The server will choose default values. Settings can be
	      changed during the game and are saved when the server
	      exits normally. If you want to save the config while
	      the game is active just execute the ixSave(); command
	      at the console.
	
	2. COMMAND LINE to run the mod.
		Note: A command line is what you use to start 
		the game. for windows it's called a shortcut. 
		It's what you double click on to run the game.
		If you have a Tribes Icon on your desktop, 
		right click it and select Properties.  "Target"
		is the command line. Don't email me asking what
		it is, because I just told you. Thanks. 


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

	 - 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 insomniax

	 - 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 insomniax -dedicated

	 - If For Some Reason insomniax.cs is not executing when the mod loads. 
	   (It should be automatic) Then just add it to the command line.
	   For Example:
		Running Normally. 
			infinitespawn *tribes +exec MyConfig -dedicated
		Running this Mod and Executing the Mod Config.
			infinitespawn *tribes +exec MyConfig +exec insomniax -mod insomniax -dedicated

      know how. Im assuming you already have a server running, or
      at least read the instructions on how to do so.
