TangoDown Warfare Vehicles version 128
Date: May 31 2014
Author: Meowcat (imaknucklehead@hotmail.com)

Requires the last version of UT2004 (3369) with the Bonus Pack

Modeller: me (using Milkshape3D, LithUnwrap, and JASC PaintshopPro)
Coder: me (97% of the custom code not directly used from the other default vehicles).  Had some assist on the tank effects by Herr General
Skinner: me
Sounds: mostly default, I modified a few to better fit the vehicles

This pack contains a few real world based vehicles.  I originally made these for use with my TangoDown mod, which I later folded in the YARM mod.

###### How to use in game ##############
To use the vehicles in maps that support vehicles, add the "TangoDown Warfare Vehicles" mutator to the mutator list.  There are optional slots in the mute configuration, allowing you to choose whether or not to replace individual standard vehicles with the TDW vehicles.

****SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE MBT-90 Tank ****
The weapon fire modes of the MBT90 Tank can be changed by pressing whatever key is bound to the 'Crouch' function.  The three modes are High Explosive Rounds, Sabot rounds (devasting against vehicles in direct strikes), and a coaxial machine gun.

****SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE MH-53 Helicopter ****
The MH-53 Helicopter can pick up undriven vehicles that are less than a certain weight.  To do fly the helicopter directly over the other vehicle, lower until the MH-53 is almost touching it, then have the pilot hit the 'fire' button.

****SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE MOTORCYCLE ****
To steer the bike, look in the direction you want to go!  The front tire turns based on the direction you are looking (this is still a bit buggy, but seems to work alright both in bot matches and online).  The reason I did not include a weapon on this bike was that it is designed for flag runs.  If it was armed it would be too annnoying a vehicle (like the manta ;) ).  The sidecar version is now standard in game, but other version is still included.

****SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE RAFT ****
Use the 'Jump' and 'Duck' keys to try and "unstick" the raft.  Also, type 'togglemouselook' in the console to activate or deactivate turning via the strafe keys.

****SPECIAL NOTES FOR THE LAV-25 IFV and AD ****
The weapon fire modes of the LAV 25 IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) and AD (Air Defense) can be changed by pressing whatever key is bound to the 'Crouch' function.  The IFV 30mm Cannon is good against vehicles, the IFV's coaxial .30 cal machine gun is good against personnel.  The Air Defense version has vehicle tracking missiles (use the weapon switch up/down to select from visible enemy targets) that are good against piloted enemy vehicles, and a VULCAN cannon that is devastating against vehicles and personnel.

NOTE:  The Hound MI4 Helicopter is still included, but it is not used by the mutator.  There is also a test CH46 Helicopter (that can carry as many people as can fit on board along with the pilot and two gunnners, MK19 GLs) but its model is unfinished.
