Welcome to the download page for the Presto pack Plus upgrade. This upgrade requires that you already have the Presto pack installed. If you do not have this, then please get it from Prestos site. To install this upgrade, first you should make a copy of your Presto directory, just in case. Then simply unzip the PrestoPlusRelease.zip file into you Tribes directory with full pathnames set on and overwrite all files. Thats all there is to it. To uninstall this update, copy the files from the Tribes/config/presto/prestoBackup directory into the Tribes/config/presto directory, overwriting all. Thats all there is to it. There shouldn't be any compatibility problems for current scripts. Everything should work exactly as it did before. Non-scripters probably wont notice any difference in performance, however, some may see smoother gameplay. Not everyone will so please don't expect any change. The main reason for this upgrade is the new message parser that is now built into it and this will primarily benefit script writers. NOTE: This upgrade contains support for bwadmin v5.0+ servers. If your scripts do not behave correctly while playing on a bwadmin v5.0+ server, then open the file Tribes/config/presto/upgrade/bwadminSupport.cs and set $bwadmin::prestoSupport to false. NOTE: The $presto::version number is now set to 0.932. If you have the 0.931 version, please upgrade. http://www.planettribes.com/mt/prestoplus.shtml

PrestoPlus is an upgrade to PrestoPack v 0.93 and was created to take advantage 
of a new message parsing script by MT.  This means that everything in the original 
PrestoPack 0.93 is exactly the same....except faster.

Users of fast machines may not notice any difference at all, but lower end
machines have been getting up to 20% increases in fps.

Client side support was also added for BWADMIN version 5 servers and later. 
This support will update your DynHud Objective Info on connection to the server
as well as completely replace all killtrak message parsing when connected to
a bwadmin v5.0+ server.


INSTALLATION:

	1) Make a copy of your existing Tribes\Config\Presto directory elsewhere
		on your hard disk (just in case).
	2) Extract PrestoPlus.zip with full pathnames into your tribes
		directory overwriting all existing files.
			ie. c:\Dynamix\Tribes\    or your equivalent.
	3) Run tribes :)
	
	If your previous copy of prestopack was installed correctly then 
	everything should be working fine.

	
UNINSTALLATION:

	Use this procedure to return to a orginal PrestoPack install.
	
	1) Copy all the files from Tribes\Config\Presto\PrestoBackup directory
		into your Tribes\Config\Presto directory overwriting all files.
		
	Thats it........uninstalled.
	
	NOTE: The files in the Tribes\Config\Presto\PrestoBackup are unmodified
		originals as supplied by the Presto pack. If you have modified any of
		the original files, uninstalling as described will lose any of the
		changes you have made.
