#######################################################################
The SIMPLE INSTALL
for
Either Dedicated or Host
#######################################################################
1> Create a Subdirectory called AAOD in your Tribes Directory
2> Place the Scripts.vol in the AAOD Sub Directory
3> Right click on your tribes shortcut.
select Properties.
Change the target line to read
tribes.exe -mod AAOD
*** Done !!! ***
4> To Setup your system so it can run as a Dedicated server via a different shortcut
Right click your tribes shortcut.
select COPY.
Right Click on your desktop
select PASTE
Right click your New tribes shortcut.
select Rename & Change its name to something like AAOD Dedicated
Right click on your AAOD Dedicated shortcut.
select Properties.
Change the target line to read
tribes.exe -mod AAOD -Dedicated
*** Done!! ***
You can now host an AAOD Game or Run a Dedicated Server using the AAOD MOD for Tribes.
This will allow you to host an AAOD game using your computer. This MOD has some extensive changes to the the BASE
tribes and does require a bit more horsepower to handle some of the specifics. The extra load should not
be signifigant to your system but it will increase with every additional player.

***** Notes !!!! *****
The above setup will run your server using the AAOD Defaults.
This means that Experience is NOT Stored
Every time people join your server they will start at level 0. (It's better this way.)
(See ADVANCED AAOD Installation for more on some of the other features)

Using the AAOD_CFG.CS File
**************************

The AAOD_CFG.CS is an external configuration file for the AAOD Mod.
If you open it in notepad or any other word processor you will see that
it is fairly self explanatory. I would strongly suggest that you leave most
of the EXP stuff alone as it can severely UNBALANCE Gameplay if modified
incorrectly. Changes & suggestions will be posted on the AAOD Website
to apprise Admins of some problems and potential solutions. To Install the
external configuration file simply place it in your \CONFIG Subdirectory. The mod
automatically will detect it there and uses its configuration instead of the default.

** If you want to track Exp On your Server ! **
-----------------------------------------------
Ensure the File AAOD_CFG.CS is in your tribes\config directory
Open it in notepad or any other text editor and examine the
$TrackExp variable.

****> To Track experience of certain players only set the $TrackExp to 1
this will load the AAODPlayers.cs file when the game starts. Any Player
in the AAODPlayers File will have his Exp tracked by the server.
(*** See The AAODPlayers Section later in this file for more info ***)

****> To Track experience of any player joining set the $TrackExp to 2
this will load the AAODPlayers.cs file when the game starts. It will
also add to the AAODPLayers.CS file any 'NEW' players and begin tracking exp
for them. If Using this Option Set the $TrackMaxUsers to allow for you and
your friends It will Stop Tracking any Players that join after the MAX Number
has been reached.
(*** Note: When refering to Tacking of EXP we are talking about the server 'storing'
Experience and Kills Etc for players between sessions. Not the Exp that they gain
after they have connected to the server but Between the times they connect.)

(** Extra NOTE: We dont know what Kind of a drain tracking EXP this will add to the server,
from what we have seen our dedicated PIII-450 does not seem to notice when saving the
playerlist to the file. Our Player-Count has reached 200 without noticable LAG during
the saves & Player connects.)
