---------------------



Installation
------------

Please extract kamist Q2Launcher directly into your Quake2 directory - otherwise it won't 
work. This programme was written in Visual Basic, so that you need to have installed msvbvm50.dll into your c:\windows\system - directory (available on each Windows-CD).


Features
--------

Well, as you might know, there are hundreds of Quake2 Mods available in the internet, but
they all have one thing in common: You have to launch them by typing things like 'set game
xy' every time you want to play them. With this launcher this becomes much more easier.
Simply click on 'add mod to list' and type in
- the name of the mod (can be everything you want)
- the folder name (the name of the folder in your Quake2 directory in which you have      
  installed the mod)
- additional options (optional!) like Capturelimit for ctf ('Caption' can be everything,
  'Commandline' has to be '+' and the Quake2 console command (f.ex. +set capturelimit))
To remove a mod simply click on the button 'remove mod', to edit a mod added to the list
click on 'edit mod'. You always should avoid closing windows by clicking on the [x]-symbol.
This could cause a loss of data.

kamist Q2Launcher Pro saves the settings of each mod in different files, so that it is 
possible to have different fraglimits,... for different mods.

If you want to execute a config file please remember that it has to be put into the right 
folder (the folder in which the mod is in!). Then you can insert the name of the config-
file (f.ex. controls.cfg) into the box on the left.

To launch a game, please
- select a mod in the left listbox
- control the settings on the left
	- if you want to launch a dedicated server please activate the option by clicking           	  on this box
	- if you have activated the option 'close when launching Q2' the launcher will be          	  closed after launching the mod
- select a map in the right listbox
- click on 'START SERVER'
