HOW TO INSTALL AND RUN A SERVER: Unzip this WITH FOLDERS (very important) to your Tribes2\GameData folder. Make sure there is a folder called scripts containing other folders all containing many .dso files. Also, this is very important, make sure I zipped the /shapes folder, which should contain .cs files. If I didnt do this, it will crash you. You can either: tell me to fix it by mailing me OR copy the shapes folder from an earlier version or another mod. You can use the shortcuts supplied in the \Talon2 folder for running the game, or use your own. Just a note, Dedicated means there is no local player, ie you host and its just a console. If you host non-dedicated, it can lag more, especially if your system has trouble running T2 at a good framerate. If you have any trouble, mail me at Talonhawk@planettribes.com

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS: There are a few reasons you could be having problems running a Talon2 server. 
- First, make sure you have the correct directory structure. There should be a Talon2\Scripts and a Talon2\Shapes, and in the scripts folder, at least 5
  subfolders each with scripts in them. Some versions of winzip don't extract folders, so this happens to people occaisionally.

- If you still cant host, you may have the "Pure server" option on. This makes your server verify that it is only using BASE T2, which will cause Talon2
  files not to execute. 

- Another problem that you could be having is a dso problem. Im not sure why these happen, but you can try deleting all your base dsos, hosting a base server
  (so you recompile these base dso files) and THEN hosting a Talon2 server. You might need to do this if your Talon2/scripts directory and subdirectories
  have tons and tons of .cs.dso files which arent included in this zip (meaning these files have been compiled into the talon2 dir for some reason). This
  may also lead to problems running Tribes2 with other rule sets besides Talon2.

REVISION LIST:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----- v. 40B ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Updated to work with the new patch!

// NEW STUFF:
// kicking/tackling now stuns the target for a very short time and does more damage (depends on speed/mass)
// jumping off of damageable players has a 60% chance to knock them over like running into them does
// beamsword causes instant damage when you turn it on if a person is in the beam's path (about disc damage)
// Pulse cannon redone
// ELF Gun does damage differently (2^(attackers-1)) (1 player = 1x, 2 = 2x, 3 = 4x, 4 = 8x, etc, PER PLAYER)
// Players can now pick up parts of multi-use packs (like force emitters)
// Looting any item displays quantity (not just ammo)
// Blastrifle look changed
// Changed how the flag area camping works. At first it will push you away (hard) then slowly kills you.
// Dart Gun now fires tranquilizer darts instead of poison ones. 2 consecutive hits will cause 5 second immobility!
// Nuke pack can be used on the ground. It takes 30 seconds to place, 1:30 to detonate. It is weak, too.

// New on death drop conditions: Shockwave/gibs drop everything
// but electrical (spasming death) causes them to drop thier weapon
// AND there is a 25% chance to drop weapon anyway

// BALANCING CHANGES:
// Autocannon damage slightly reduced
// Peacemaker can turn again
// Plastique can be detonated with 1 sniper shot
// Cryo grenade splash range lowered back down a tiny bit
// Players who switch to observer will lose ALL points (to prevent them from escaping death this way)
// Clamp turrets shield weakened
// Shocklance can 1 hit players who are knocked down
// shieldpack protects against EMP
// Force Emitters arent damaged by EMP anymore, and recover faster from EMP overloads than from normal overloads
// Infiltrator can take more than 3 clamp turret shots (6 now)
// Infiltrator jump can be used while on water
// Blastrifle damage lowered
// Fake death doesnt make you drop weapon/pack (since this is normal now)
// Inventories rec
