*Important Information*

Installation           : Use this TC at your own risk! I recomend
			 installing these files into a clean directory
			 of duke.
			 Back up any *.art files (It shouldn't replace
			 any other file types).
			 Unzip all the files in your duke directory 
			 then run dapatch.exe, and select install, then
			 it's ready to play.
			 (dapatch.exe changes some global sounds, the
			 episode and skill names, and the con file
			 used.
			 To play DA without using the *.exe run duke
 			 with /xda_game.con in command line, (you will
 			 loose the features described above).
			 some anti-virus scanners may misinterpret the 
			 dapatch.exe code as a virus (because it
 			 changes some values in the duke.exe), IT IS
 			 NOT A VIRUS

			 To play in single player mode run in fake 
			 multiplayer mode:
			 Run da_single.bat then go to the menu and select 
			 a new map.
			 
Un-Installation        : Run Dapatch.exe and choose uninstall, then
			 deleted all the files starting with "da_*.*"
			 (make sure you only delete the files for duke
			 arena), and tiles###.art (000, 009, 013, 014, 
			 015)

Important Notes        : Remember this is a BETA Version so please
			 visit the bug report page on the website and
			 submit bugs and comments.

			 This is for Duke 1.3d ONLY (WILL NOT WORK FOR
			 SHARWARE OR DUKE 1.4/5)

*Muliplayer Game descriptions - how to play*

Duke Arena only work properly when in multiplayer or fake mulitplayer 
mode.

To use ladders press jump and duck to climb up and down, space will
also make duke climb the ladder.

===========
Team select
===========
At the start of every level a menu will appear infront of you (BUG:
don't move when the level first starts or the menu may not display
correctly) press "use" (space) to change team, leave the team you want
highlighted and after a few second the game begins (make sure you have
selected your team before the game starts), your pants show your team
colour and dukes belt helps you identify players (the belt colours are
the same as normal DM colours (so player 1 has a blue blet, 2 red, 3 
light green, 4 light grey, etc).  Above the menu, there is a info 
window which gives a short description of what you have to do on that 
map.  It's a good idea to decide the teams before the game starts.

==
DM
==
These work in the same way as in the original game, leave the menu on
"NO TEAMS" to play normally, for the standard duke levels all the 
enemies have been converted to bots, use the skill level to change the 
number of bot for the level. I would recomend lowest skill because all
the monsters have been turned to bots, and thats a lot of bots:)

====
Team
====
These are DM levels but you select your team via the menu, duke pants 
show what team your on, and his belt helps you to identify single 
players. If you choose to use bots, they will be gold bots which attack
all teams.

===
CTF
===
This is a Team based game. The idea is that you have to take a enemy
flag back to your flag, if the enemy drops the flag you can warp it
back to your base by walking over it. To drop the flag press your night
vision button.  There are other types of CTF where you have to take a
enemy flag back to a capture point and not your flag. And a golden flag
which both team can pick up and take back to their capture point or a
capture point used by every team.  There can also be more than one flag
spawn point, so the flag spawn randomly.
You have to organise a attack and defence.

===
KoH
===
There is a point on the map that you have to stay on, the longer you
stay on it the more points you get.  Some points can be used by every
team and some are team sensitive.

*Please Note* 
Beacause Duke Arena has so many variations on game types we havent got
enough maps to show off all of these, we hope with your help we can
have enough maps to show all of these off by the next release.

======================================================================

BOTS:

We have been alowed to use the code from the Sob-Bots.  To select
bots you turn monsters on and change the difficulty setting, the higher
the difficulty the more bots there are, in DM levels these will shoot 
anyone. For the third episode (team based games), the bots are team 
sensitve.  Unfortuatly the .con code doesnt allow for very advanced bots 
like in quake, but they are better than nothing.

Controling your bots, go up to a bot on your team a press:

Use (spacebar) = they run off in the direction they are facing and 
		 scout around
Use + duck     = sets follow mode
Use + jump     = camp mode / face you

This control method should be improved by the next release :)

For the standard levels all monsters have been turned to bots, this means
a level could contain about 30 bots, and these will attack anyone.
For the new maps, there are less bots (4 per team max) and they are team
sensitive.

Making your own CTF levels.

Because this is a Beta version we are giving this out as is, we are not
providing any level making support because we want to eliminate the
bugs and we dont want other TCs ripping are code.  In a Later release 
we will write a guide describing how to make your own CTF levels.
