Rocket Arena 3 PRIVATE ALPHA PRE-RELEASE NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION 0.1a
---crt--wrightd@gamespy.com-------

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THIS RELEASE

-This is a private release, just for stress testing the server code a bit
-Please do not post news or screenshots from this release. The code is not
 final, and the art is all temporary.
-Please don't pass these files around. This release won't do any good without
 the server, and that is not available.
-Please don't be a dick or I really will do this all privately in the future.
-If it asks you to load a DLL do it (or you can't play). I'm not going to format
 your hard drive or steal your CD Key. In this version.

-Here are a few known issues:
-vid_restart will b0rk stuff, reconnect to the server if you have to use it
-Practice Mode, Damage Scoring, competition mode don't work
-Trackcam doesn't work.. only freeflying and in eyes
-A bunch of the menu items don't do anything
-Voting does work, but voting for broken stuff (see list above) won't do any good

-If you get a Q3 crash while playing, PLEASE SEND ME THE INFO. "The Info" is basically
 -what you were doing when it crashed
 -exactly what the crash dialog said, including all the "more info" type info

-There are 3 working game types:
 -Rocket Arena: Like RA1 or RA2 regular arenas
 -Clan Arena: Like CA or RA2 pickup arenas
 -Red Rover: Kill someone, they switch to your team. Proceed till only 1 team is left
 -Practice Arena: Not working, I said there were only 3!
-Yes grapple is votable for now, no it won't be votable (by default) in the release
-LPBs may want to try a new client side option- "cg_trueLightning" -- which removes
 prediction from the lightning gun (feels more like Q1)

-You can report bugs to me besides crashes, but not stuff already covered in this file.
 Examples of bugs include: 
  "Some guy showed up with a green skin instead of red or blue"
  or.. "It said I was first in line but I never get to play"
  NOT "this mod sux0rz.. I'm going to play counterstrike"
 ..but please send me more info than that in any case. If you can reproduce the problem
that would be helpful.

Also, if you aren't already on there, you might want to subscribe to the Rocket Arena
discussion list (where this little shindig was announced). The address is:
subscribe-rocketarena@lyris.gamespy.com


The server is 207.199.80.230
You should be able to find it with the built in ArenaSpy browser.
If you can't connect, it's not up. Guess you missed it! (or it might be down for
bug fixing, watch the Rocket Arena mailing list for more info).

Thanks and have a nice day.

Oh, and no, you may not post this readme on your site :)
