Build Time:    Who knows? There is no way to contact Electro Software so we might
               never find out.
Editors Used:  Who knows? Obviously UnrealEd, but what else - that I don't know.
Known Issues:  Honestly, lots. The Beta v1.00 was so flawed that players were
               unable to finish the pack at all. Also, the MP gametypes might have
               their own fair share of bugs. Tests will show.

DESCRIPTION
-----------

Final Worlds: The Earth Fights Back is an Unreal Tournament modification by Electro
Software. Released in July 2001, the pack contains a single-player campaign made of
20 maps and three MP gametypes, variations of Deathmatch, Darkmatch and CTF. Each
gametype comes with several maps, 5 for FW DM, 2 for FW DK and 7 for FW CTF.

The Beta v1.00 release was so flawed that players couldn't finish it in any way.
Game breaking bugs existed in several maps, making it impossible for players to
progress. To top it off, Electro Software decided not to use Oldskool Amp'd, which
leads to problems with saving and loading progress. And in the end, they VANISHED
leaving all those issues unresolved.

This is where I, Delacroix, come in. I have decided to resolve these bugs and make
this mod playable from start to finish. Whereas in the beginning I saw no problems,
as I progressed, I stumbled upon stuff I was unable to fix. So, I asked maxuser6000
/myth to try his wits against them and he managed to do the job. So, the pack is
playable from start to finish.


-----
NOTES
-----

The quality of this mod is LOW, horribly LOW. The map build is worse than pathetic,
there is nothing that would push the story forward. Some maps even have no title
given yet. Long story short, one of the worst SP mods out there, a geniune waste of
space. This is nothing like "So bad it's good" - no, it's SO bad it's ultimate bad.
Stuff like this makes Crescent Moon Software's work look good and I am not joking.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

CHANGELOG
---------

Beta V1.01

+ OldSkool support! The game can be saved and loaded w/o problems now.
- INI file removed as no longer required.
- removed prototype Training and Logo maps, leaving only the final ones.
@ renamed "Vortex2" to "FWTraining" so as not to cause conflicts.
! removed spaces from all map filenames.
! adjusted 1a1b's teleporter to reflect the name change of 1a1b cut to 1a1bcut.
+ added new teleporters in 5a2b just in case the player missed the ones that are
  there alredy.
! removed the IceSkaarj from 6a1b (they crashed the game for some reason) and
  replaced them with new, fresh IceSkaarj.
! applied various fixes to 6a1b, 8a1b, 8a2b and 8a3b.
+ added music to 4a1b, 5a2b and 7a1b.
# removed the modified QueenSong file and replaced it with stock Unreal QueenSong.
  No difference in what the players hear and prevents version mismatches.

Beta V1.00

& Initial Electro Software release.
