Smiling Monsters Christmas Map Pack 2006
========================================

* About :
This is a pack comprising of various maps, mods, mutators and skins centered on the Christmas and winter theme to add that little festive touch in UT games.

* Instructions :
Drop the SMoXmas2006 folder into your UT folder. Then edit your UT ini file (might be server.ini or something else) to add the following :

[Core.System]
(...)
Paths=../SMoXmas2006/Maps/*.unr
Paths=../SMoXmas2006/Textures/*.utx
Paths=../SMoXmas2006/Sounds/*.uax
Paths=../SMoXmas2006/Music/*.umx
Paths=../SMoXmas2006/System/*.u

The following needs to be added by server admins (all lines are optional) :

[Engine.GameEngine]
(...)
ServerPackages=CTTree2y
ServerPackages=CTTree31
ServerPackages=TeamFreeze
ServerPackages=Frozt
ServerPackages=FroztMultiMesh
ServerPackages=FreezeGun
ServerPackages=SnowUT
ServerPackages=Snow
ServerPackages=FCommando_FemaleSanta
ServerPackages=SoldierSkinsice
ServerPackages=Soldier_Santa

It is a good idea to upload compressed versions of the files to a redirect site to make downloads speedier. You can point to gameservers.net as most files have been uploaded there.

[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=http://uz.gameservers.net/
ProxyServerHost=
ProxyServerPort=3128
UseCompression=True

Finally, place all the int files in your *original* System folder according to what mods/mutators/skins you want to use. Snow.u also needs to be placed in this folder for the CTF-CC series of maps to function correctly.

* Compressed files

A windows batch file has been included to automatically create uz files which you can use for redirection. Double-click the bat file to launch it. It will take a while to complete so you'll have to be patient.

* General notes :
- Skins are only suitable for free for all (no team colours).
- The snow version of CTF-BadNeighbors has been modified so the file names don't contain any spaces as this causes problems for clients.
- Some maps use either of two different versions of CityTex.u which do not seem to differ other than by size. I have included the biggest one as it seems to work will all maps referring to it.
- The latest version of Noddy.utx for the map DM-deCyberXmas][ has been included.
- Even though xmas.utx is bundled along with DM-XMAS-TAZ it isn't required as texture are in MyLevel.
