Version 0.97b Beta updated on 13.4.2000  

Hello!

Botstudio is a program intended for easy Q3A bot creation.
It works on Windows NT4.0 and should work on Win95 and Win98.


INSTALLING BOTSTUDIO:
=====================

Note: if the installing the smaller versions seems complicated or something goes
wrong load the full install, it does everything automatically.

Full install (BotStudio0.97b.zip):
===================================

Extract BotStudio0.97b.zip to somewhere, c:\temp perhaps,
and run setup.exe. Hmm, I think that the Regional Settings
(Control Panel) should be as 'English (United States)' during the install,
I've had some trouble with Visual Basic-generated setup programs
before. Please tell me if it doesn't work on some other settings, I don't
have time to check every setting, sorry. If you have to reboot the computer
then run setup.exe again, the install doesn't continue automatically. After install
lauch the program from the Start-menu. 

Small package (BotStudio0.97b_VB6Ed.zip):
=========================================

Extract BotStudio0.97b_VB6Ed.zip to some folder where you would like it to be
(like 'c:\program files\botstudio', perhaps). This version is intended for 
people who already have VB6 or Visual Basic runtime files on their hardisk. 
Visual Basic runtime files are files that every Visual Basic program uses to run. 
Common Visual Basic made Quake 3 programs, well, at least ServArena is one. Ok, needed
files are: 

VB6STKIT.DLL
COMCAT.DLL
STDOLE2.TLB
ASYCFILT.DLL
OLEPRO32.DLL
OLEAUT32.DLL
MSVBVM60.DLL

The program also needs COMCT232.OCX and COMCT32.OCX. These are pretty common but they
are also included in the setup package. After you have extracted the files first register
the *.dlls by opening Run from Start-menu and typing 
'regsvr32 c:\program files\botstudio\zip32.dll' and
'regsvr32 c:\program files\botstudio\Unzip32.dll' and 
'regsvr32 c:\program files\botstudio\CGZipLibrary.dll' and 
'regsvr32 c:\program files\botstudio\PaintX.dll' 
where c:\program files\botstudio is the path where you extracted the program (you 
knew that, didn't you...?). Then if you don't have the OCX files mentioned above move them to
Windows system directory (usually 'windows\system32') and register them by opening the Run-menu and
'regsvr32 <Windows system path>\COMCT232.OCX' and 
'regsvr32 <Windows system path>\COMCT32.OCX' 
where <Windows system path> is the path where you moved the files. If you have these OCXs just delete them
from your BotStudio folder or leave them there, doesn't matter...

Upgrade from Botstudio 0.93 (BotStudio0.97b_Update.zip)
======================================================

Extract the contents of this zip archive to the directory where you installed BotStudio. Then After you 
have extracted the files first register the PaintX.dll by following the registration instructions above.
Then the tricky part: I had to change one OCX from the earlier version so if you don't have COMCT32.OCX then
follow the instructions above about OCX registering.


Running botstudio
=================

RTFM! A small manual is found in http://www.planetquake.com/botstudio/manual.html. I also recommend downloading
the bot editing manuals from http://www.planetquake.com/botstudio/dl.html and browsing the links.

Oh, and don't forget to load the WinZip add-on from http://www.winzip.com/wzcline.html
