Current Version - Unreal Badlands v1.2
Release Date - August 8th, 2003
Installation
----------------
* Umod Version - Extract and run the included .umod file.
* Zipped Version - If umods do not run correctly on your system, you'll need to download & run
the zipped version, and extract each file to the appropriate folder. In addition you'll need to
follow some additional steps to get Badlands working properly. First off all, before playing,
open the "Controls" menu. Then scroll down until you see the "Unreal Badlands" heading. Then
simply assign keys to the functions listed. In addition, if you wish to play online, you'll need
to open "UnrealTournament.ini" and add the following lines in the [Engine.GameEngine] section -
ServerPackages=Badlands
ServerPackages=TexxSkins
ServerPackages=WesternExtras
Running Badlands
-------------------------
1. Use the new Badlands shortcut to start Badlands.
2. When the intro map begins to play, pressing "Esc" at any time will bring up the standard menu bar.
3. From the "Game" menu, choose "Play Unreal Badlands".
4. Under "Gametype", choose "Badlands: Wanted, "Badlands: Shootout", or "Badlands: CTF".

Finding an Online Game
---------------------------------
After you've installed Badlands there will be three new ServerTabs in the "Find Online Games" menu,
one for each Badlands gametype. Simply select the game you wish to find. If there are no servers
available for that gametype, a message will be displayed letting you know this.
Running a Badlands Server
-------------------------------------
Setting up a Badlands server is no different from running a standard UT server. Simply follow the
normal procedures.
***Special Thanks***
-------------------------------
We want to offer special thanks to Norbert -Beppo- Bogenrieder, of Infiltration, for allowing us to
use his M2HB code for our turret weapons. All original code is credited to him.
***Known Issues with Turret Weapons***
-----------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned in the Infiltration documentation, there are a few known issues with the turret weapons.
They include:
1) Occasionally when walking away from the turret, your weapon disappears and you can't get them back.
The only way to fix this is to simply walk back to the gun, wait till it activates, then walk away again.
This GENERALLY fixes the problem.
2) The weapon info for the turret is NOT displayed on the HUD during network games.
