Instructions:
You can either use the installer or use the archive that is provided. To use the archive, unzip the lms35 folder into your Doom3 folder (not the base folder).  After using the installer or archive, use the provided shortcuts or load up Doom 3, hit the mods button, and select Last Man Standing 3.5 from the list. You should now be ready to kick some horde ass, enjoy.

Performance Suggestions:
If you are getting a lot of lag there are a few things you can do to improve gameplay.
1) Turn off shadows (under advanced in options -> system)
2) Lower the doom 3 video quality level in options -> system
3) Defrag your hard drive
4) Update video drivers
5) Reduce the number of other programs running

Changes since 3.0

BUGFIXES
* Lots of various map cleanup
* Vote results are now outputed properly to all clients and the server console
* Fixed 2 bugs that would cause the server to crash
* Added client tracking - Game will now keep track of each client that connects to the server keeping a record of how many times they connect, date/time of first and last connection, and all names they have used. Uses new command 'listclientinfo'.
* Added 2 new cvar 'lms_stamina' and 'lms_staminarate' which will allow the server to set stamina that does not get reset each time a player respawns on the map. In order to set these cvars and have the game remember them between sessions you should use the +seta command in the console which will archive the change in your doomconfig.cfg file.
* On Alphalabs3, the crane gui is now disabled after removing the toxic barrels. This will eliminate the problem where players would pick up other players and drop them down the chute which can crash the server.
* New scoring system for SP Coop, ROE Coop, and CDoom Coop. Now the game will add the value of si_skill to the player's score for each kill. You play with a higher skill, you get a higher score.
* Game will now create a say log 'lmssay.log' which will contain just what is said on the server.
* In-game scoreboard was changed to display the current high scores for the map. This way players can see what they need to make the list.
* If a player disconnects when a vote is active and they have voted, the game will now remove their vote. This was a bug that I don't think many people were aware of. It would allow you to kick someone from the server if there were just 2 players on the server.
* Added debug messages in the console to help debug the persistant player info (keeping weapons during a map change).
* Added debug message that will display when a player is killed by a monster that does not have a name set. If you see this message, give me the map name and the name of the monster that appears in the message.
* Added monster names for some of the ROE monsters, more will need to be added.
* Added custom kill message for what the game calls 'world kills'. They have been added for the following: Electric rail on comm_outside, Maledict firewall, Achrvile firewall, Vagary thrown object, Falling, and no air. Still may need to add others.
* Falling damage in MP is now the same as in SP. This means that you will die when falling instead of just ending up in a area you cannot get out of.
* Changed the background color where the player's names appear in the server list screen so that you can see player names that use black text.
* Vulgars now use the improved netcode and will now ragdoll.
* Shooting another player with team damage turned off will now remove their armor.
* Items can now be picked up more than once in ROE Coop.
* Moveables will now respawn as a moveable, this means that they will be able to be picked up more than once by the grabber and will respond to the game's physics (ie. if you shoot them, they will move).
* Trigger animations will now play for vulgars and imps on the clients. This means that they will see the imp crawling over the railing instead of just appearing in the t-pose while the animation played on the server. Note: Trigger animations are not working for monsters that have 'spawner' set. All of the monsters on hellhole use this key so the clients will still see the t-pose when they respawn.
* Guardian's spawner will now appear on the clients
* Added text on the HUD that will appear when a Boss is being fought that will display it's remaining health. It will automatically appear when the boss becomes active and disappears when it is dead. It displays on everybody's HUD.
* Removed the message that would appear when the cyberdemon was hit with the soulcube since it's health now appears in the HUD.
* SetSkin is now synched down to the clients. This means that if a monster changes it's skin, the clients should see the new skin. I know this does work for the sentry bots, not sure about the others.
* Sentry bot flashlight is working for the clients on Enpro, Erebus6, and Phobos3
* Alphalabs2 scientist light now working on the clients
* Seeker lights are now working on the clients

FEATURES
* New LMS theme song!!!  Also check the lyrics out in the Doc folder, they rock!
* All of the zombies will now ragdoll
* Lots of SP Coop tweaks including improved spawn points, starting map weapons, and lag tweaks!
* Nine new maps are added from TA_Alucard that are prefixed with TS which stands for Training Simulation.  Check them out and let us know what you think!
* Old LMS favorite Prog_Doomship is back with many fixes!
* Colors on players nametags now reflect armor amount.
* Fortcomp has recieved some tweaking!

Thanks for all of your help and for putting up with all of The Master's "where's deadite? deadite are you around? DEADITE!!" haha, poor guy.  Looking forward to working with you in the future, buddy.
