PunkBuster? Anti-Cheat Software by Even Balance, Inc. is now included:
========================================================
We are pleased to include PunkBuster Anti-Cheat Software in this code release. PunkBuster is a mandatory 
installation for the 1.02 version update. You 

Documentation for both Clients and Servers use of PunkBuster can be found in the ?pb? folder of the SoFII 
installation directory.

Installing 1.02 patch on Linux
==============================
To support PunkBuster the Linux binary is no longer compiled statically. What this means is there is now an 
additional shared library that needs to be installed on the Linux system for the sof2ded binary to work. 
Please see the instructions below on how to make it work.

On your linux box:
-Create a directory for the game. example: 
    mkdir /usr/local/games/sof2
-Copy the linux binary (sof2ded) into this directory
-Mark the file as executable. example:
    chmod a+x /usr/local/games/sof2/sof2ded
-Create the 'base' directory. example:
     mkdir /usr/local/games/sof2/base
   Note, YES, it is case sensitive and the program will look for all lower case
-Copy the files from the base directory of the retail CD into the
   base directory you just created. You will need all the .pk3 files (including
   musicandsound.pk3, skins.pk3, etc) if you want to run a "pure" server.
   be sure to include the update101.pk3 and the update102.pk3 file from this patch.
-Create the directory for Punkbuster: 
   mkdir /usr/local/games/sof2/pb
-Copy the .so files from the pb directory of this patch to the pb directory just created
-Copy the libcxa.so.1 shared library file included in this patch to your lib directory. 
   For example, put it in the /usr/lib directory
   cp libcxa.so /usr/lib/libcxa.so.1


Running the dedicated server
============================

-"cd" into the game directory (cd /usr/local/games/sof2)
-Run the binary. An example is:
    ./sof2ded +exec server.cfg

This example assumes you have created a configuration file called server.cfg and placed
it into the "base" directory.

By default, the server will run in "internet" play mode and advertise its presense to 
the master server. If you wish to have a LAN play only server, change your server 
config to set dedicated 1, or change the command line to be:
    ./sof2ded +set dedicated 1 + exec server.cfg

Misc. notes for Linux
====================

-The game will look in the base directory or home directory of the user running the 
  program (~/.sof2/)
-If you set the logfile option to 1, the files will be stored in your user
  home directory in ~/.sof2/base/
-To run on freebsd, you need to have linux executable support setup, and at a minimum be
 running freebsd 4.0. To launch the executable, you would use the command:
    brandelf -t Linux sof2ded

Game types change when calling vote for new map:
===============================================
When a vote is cast for a map wherein the current game type is not supported, the game type for the map 
being voted for will default to Deathmatch. In order to continue playing the previous game type, you must 
call a vote for the next map that supports that game type.
