CREDITS
-------

- Thanks to the many members of S|S, S||S, and countless others who have offered feedback (especially Jacen!), created maps, and provided inspiration for this mod.

- This mod was inspired by my love for the Shocklance. Thanks to the T2 developers for creating such an awesome weapon, and an awesome game!

- Inspired by and based on code from Arena, DuelMOD, and Tribes2 Deathmatch.

CLIENT INSTALLATION
-------------------

There is a separate client available (SLDMClient.vl2) that shows an improved objective hud. The client is optional, but if you want to use it, you should download it to your Tribes2\Gamedata\base folder and restart Tribes 2. If you want to play offline against bots, you can download the server (ShocklanceDM.vl2) to your Tribes2\GameData\base folder and restart Tribes2. If you download the server, then you will also need to have the Shocklance map pack (SLMaps.vl2) in the same folder.

SERVER INSTALLATION
-------------------

Place the ShocklanceDM.vl2 and SLMaps.vl2 files in your Tribes2\GameData\base folder and restart the Tribes2 server. After restart, a prefs file (prefs/ShocklanceDMPrefs.cs) will be created. Stop the server, edit the prefs file, then restart the server. Many of the prefs file settings can also be changed by vote or by admin in-game. See the prefs file for more details.

FEATURES
--------

- Leader waypoint
- Bonus for killing the leader
- Invo stations can function as teleporters
- Invo station penalty if you are injured and do NOT have a repkit
- Voting options to toggle/select most features
- Selectable armors (may be restricted via prefs file)
- Option to spawn with favorite or default loadout
- Selectable grenade types (flare, concussion, whiteout, normal)
- Powerful prefs file to preserve/remove map items (e.g., repkits and patches), enable/disable/remove invo stations, enable/disable invo teleporters, enable/disable invo station penalty, enable/disable various grenades, spawn in favorites or default loadout, and enable/disable various armors.
- Most prefs values can be set to unchangeable, voteable, or admin-only.
- Detailed score hud (F2) and end-of-game debriefing
