XMP Master Server UI Mod

XMP Master Server Configuration User Interface Extension Readme             v104
============================================================

    This modification adds new functionality to the U2:XMP menu system. It
    allows the your master servers to be configured easily using an intuitive
    graphical interface, and also enhances the master server connection failed
    dialogue, allowing players to re-try a failed connection using the next
    configured master server.

    It also allows users to fetch an up-to-date list of master servers using a
    built-in WebUpdate feature.



  HOW TO INSTALL THE UI MOD
============================================================

    Download and run "XMP-MS-Config-104.exe". When prompted, select your U2XMP
    directory and click the INSTALL button. The mod is installed.

    If you wish instead to extract the files manually, you will require WinRAR.
    Simply open the archive with WinRAR and be sure to keep the directory
    structure intact.

    Every effort is made to ensure that the archive is free of viruses and other
    malware. However, if you have not downloaded the file from a trusted source,
    proceed at your own risk.



  HOW TO USE THE UI MOD
============================================================

    After installing the mod, your master servers will not be updated or altered
    in any way until you do the following:

     *  Run U2XMP.
     *  From the menu, choose "Options".
     *  Click the "Game" tab.
     *  Click the "Change" button, next to "Master Server Addresses:".
     *  Enter the desired master server addresses and ports. To update
        automatically, click the "WebUpdate" button. WebUpdate will indicate
        success or failure.

    NB. It is sometimes necessary to re-start XMP after using the WebUpdate
        feature. If you experience "Connection Failed" after running WebUpdate,
        simply re-start XMP.


    If the master server connection fails when retrieving a list of active
    servers, you now have the opportunity to directly access the configuration
    screen; ignore the error (re-ping your cached server list); or alternatively
    click "RETRY" to try the next configured master server.



  HOW TO UN-INSTALL THE MOD
============================================================

    Installing the mod overwrites the following files:

        U2XMP/System/U2Menus.int
        U2XMP/Maps/Intro.unr
        U2XMP/UIScripts/U2Menus.ui

    When installing, it also creates the original versions of these files with the
    extensions ".original", as follows:

        U2XMP/System/U2Menus.int.original
        U2XMP/Maps/Intro.unr.original
        U2XMP/UIScripts/U2Menus.ui.original

    To remove the mod, delete the three files listed above, and rename the
    ".original" files to replace them.
