============================================================ 
* Beware!! *

If you make to many binds then your sof2mp.cfg will become too large and sof2 will delete it.  Always make a back up before editing.If you don't know how a good guide is not to make more than 100 binds (or if the file exceeds 15.8kb). 

We hold no responsibility for loss of ingame controls and settings or updated sof2mp.cfg files. We have stated enough times the possible consequences of not checking and knowing what you are doing or overwriting. If you still muck it up, then it is entirely YOUR FAULT for not reading and checking the numerous help statements provided. Any muck ups ARE NOT THE FAULT OF THE MAKERS OF THIS PROGRAM. 

============================================================
* Known Bugs *

There is only one known bug to us. This only happens to some users, most people dont get it.
When they click on the 'Preview Binds' button when making binds, an error message states &quot;Invalid Property Value&quot; and then closes the program.
We have no idea why this is - and why it only happens to some users and not all the rest.

If you encounter this error, then we are sorry! We have tried around about 15 different changes from which this could occur - and the same result occurs. It seems as if it is here to stay!
However, the rest of the program can still be used - just not making names and binds.

============================================================
* Getting started *
All though the navigation of menus is fairly intuative here is a quick guide to making your first bind (this is for looping binds....if u want to make one bind per key, then skip 5,6,7,8 & 9 below)

1) Click the &quot;set up binds and names using colours and symbols&quot; button
2)Type the text you want to appear in game into the boxes under step 1.  Start a new box each time you want the colour to change.
3)Click preview and create bind button. Here, you can cycle through backgrounds to see what the bind will look like in game
4)Select the number 1 from the drop down box, and click save bind
5)Go back to the name and bind maker screen.  Click the clear buttons to get rid of existing text and colours
6)Again Type the text you want to appear in game into the boxes under step1.  Start a new box each time you want the colour to change
7)Click preview and create bind
8)Select the number 2 from the drop down box and click save bind
9)You can keep doing this until you have up to 9 binds when you have made enough click the create binds button
10)Select a key from the keyboard that pops up by just clicking on the button.
11)The binds you have made will appear in the boxes
12)Select say or say team for each one
13)Click the create binds button and then start SOF2 and then whenever you press the key of your choice the binds will appear.

Note - you may have to use the MOD Overwrite ability for some internet servers. More info is available in the supplied help file.
