Viking-Pack 3.3 Readme 2002-07-26
===================================================

First of all, respect to all the guys in the Tribes
community that originally came up with all the
scripts that are out there, almost everything in
this pack derived from their work, and in some
cases it's a total rip-off.

Freaky, Presto, Crunchy, BigBunny, Mr.Poop, Writer,
MentalTrouser, z0dd, Rayn, Labrat and many more.

===================================================
Features and functions in Viking-Pack 3.3:
===================================================

The most important difference between VP and other
script packs is the use of the new functionality
presented by server mod's like Fstat and BWadmin.

It means that no msgs are parsed to get information!

On a standard base server, msgs are parsed like any
other script pack. This means some cpu consumtion.
