which is available from the L-Fire Development website.


Getting Started
---------------
To run an L-Fire DM server you will need to download two archives:

For Windows:
   LFireDM_v1_04.zip            (gamex86.dll)
   LFireDM_v1_04_Config.zip     (configuration files)

For Linux:
   LFireDM_v1_04_Linux.tar.gz   (gamei386.so)
   LFireDM_v1_04_Config.tar.gz  (configuration files)

For Solaris Sparc:
   LFireDM_v1_04_Sparc.tar.gz   (gamesparc.so)
   LFireDM_v1_04_Config.tar.gz  (configuration files)


1) You can choose to run L-Fire DM directly out of your quake2/baseq2
   directory, or you can give the mod its own directory, such
   as quake2/lfiredm.  Use baseq2 if you want L-Fire DM to show up as a
   standard DM mod in server query tools such as GameSpy.

   Place the gamex86.dll, gamei386.so, or gamesparc.so in your chosen
   directory - quake2/baseq2 or quake2/lfiredm.

2) The LFireDM_v1_04_Config.zip and LFireDM_v1_04_Config.tar.gz archives
   contain L-Fire DM configuration files.  The two archives contain the
   exact same files.  The only difference is whether the archives
   are zip or tar.gz.

   The contents of the configuration archives are as follows:

   LFireCfg/Ent                        Directory for entity files
   LFireCfg/HighScores                 Directory for highscore files
   LFireCfg/Logs                       Directory for log files
   LFireCfg/TempScores                 Directory for temporary score files
   
   LFireCfg/HighScores/NewScores.txt   Empty highscore file template
   LFireCfg/HighScores/q2dm1.txt       Empty highscore file for q2dm1
      (Highscore files included for q2dm1-q2dm8)
   
   LFireCfg/Admin.cfg                  File for admin permissions
   LFireCfg/Banned.cfg                 File for IP banning
   LFireCfg/ChangeMap.cfg              File for validating "changemap" command
   LFireCfg/LHelp.txt                  File for "LHelp" command
   LFireCfg/MapLoop.cfg                File for defining the custom map loop
   LFireCfg/MOTD.cfg                   File for defining the message of the day
   LFireCfg/ScorePreload.cfg           File for preloading level scores
   LFireCfg/Shutup.cfg                 File for silencing users
   LFireCfg/TextFilter.cfg             File for filtering words and phrases
   

   Extract the configuration archive into your chosen directory (quake2/baseq2
   or quake2/lfiredm), so you will have an LFireCfg subdirectory under
   your mod directory.  Be sure to restore all pathnames that are stored in
   the archive.

   For example, under Windows you might have C:\Quake2\baseq2\LFireCfg or
   C:\Quake2\lfiredm\LFireCfg.  Under Linux you might have
   /usr/games/quake2/baseq2/lfirecfg or /usr/games/quake2/lfiredm/lfirecfg.
