 1 How to install
================================================

1.1 Installation
----------------
If you have the Zip, Rar or any other archived version, extract the contents 
to the UT2004 directory. Make sure to extract with paths.

If you have the UMOD version, run the exe and the installation wizard should 
guide you through.


1.2 Setup
---------
Enter your UT2004 directory
Enter the folder 'System'
Right-click on the UT2004.exe and choose 'Create shortcut'
Right-click on the shortcut and click on 'Properties'
In the field 'Target:' change the path to:

..\UT2004\System\UT2004.exe -Mod=Annihilation2k4

----
i.e.
If your installation was at the default installation location of: 
C:\UT2004\System\UT2004.exe

The shortcut would be changed to:
C:\UT2004\System\UT2004.exe -Mod=Annihilation2k4
----

Run this shortcut to play Unreal Annihilation


================================================
 2 How to play
================================================

2.1 Finding Unreal Annihilation
-------------------------------
Currently the UA2004 menu is not implemented. When you run Unreal Annihilation 
you will reach the default UT2004 menu. You can access Unreal Annihilation in 
the 'Gametype' menu under the section 'Custom Game Type'


2.2 Starting solo a game
------------------------
Go to Instant Action from the main menu
Choose Unreal Annihilation as gametype
Choose map you wish to play on
Press 'Play'
Once map is running click the mouse and wait until the team color option 
displays

NOTE: There is no single player game in the form of missions or A.I 
skirmishes. This is just to see the game run and move about.


2.3 Starting a dedicated server
-------------------------------
Go to the directory ..\UT2004\annihilation2k4\System
Run 'UA Server.bat'


2.4 Joining a multiplayer game
------------------------------
From the main menu open the console by pressing the ' key
type: 

open <IP ADDRESS OF THE SERVER HERE>

Replacing <IP ADDRESS OF THE SERVER HERE> with the servers IP

----
i.e.
If the servers address is 123.456.789.000 you would type:
open 123.456.789.000
----

Unfortunetly this is the method that must be used until we resolve some bugs.


================================================
 3 Keyboard commands
================================================

[          = Raise the camera
]          = Lower the camera
Home       = Toggle displaying health bars (on non-selected units)
Shift      = Queue the next command
CTRL + #   = Set the selected units to that group number
#          = Select the units of that group number

Commands are currently only changeable through editing your 
Annihilation2k4User.ini file

 4 Troubleshooting
================================================

4.1 Crashes, bugs, errors
-------------------------
If you find any of these, please report them to this thread:
http://ua.tauniverse.com/forums/board.php?boardid=66

We have included the source of our mod for people to view (not to steal), if 
you think you can provide a fix for a bug using this, please show us here:
http://ua.tauniverse.com/forums/board.php?boardid=50

-Air units don't really work
-Water units do NOT work
-Weapons don't work on structures
-Animations are messed up somewhat
-Repair doesn't work
-On-Line play may be a bit choppy depending on your connection and the speed 
of the server, and not working completely right (small gliches)
-Totally untested with more than 2 people playing
-Unit AI is dumb and blind. They will not attack on site, you have to 
explicitly tell them to attack, however...
-Turrets DO work, somewhat, so defend your base well.

In a future version it will be more playable, bear with us.

-------------------------
Currently there is none.
