Description:   Host: set up the game with "Sync Join" set to "ON", and "Sniper" to "OFF".
	
	Host will wait till the players are in their tanks and at the start line. Then
	he will throw an MDM down the track. While it's in the air, he will explode it.
	That is the starting gun! GO!
	
	Don't waste a lot of ammo early, there's precious little on this map. Grab the 
	repairs as you need them, but they COST you in time, where they are located. The 
	objective: Survive the entire circuit, and be the first to get over the finish 
	line and grab the Rave guns! FIRE THEM TO WIN! This map has 7 starting locations, 
	the best races might be those with more drivers.

	*If you are "In the red" for hull damage, you CANNOT make some of the jumps.
	 Get some repairs.
	*Keep you nose DOWN and use vertical thrust to maximize hill climbing/jumping
	 ability.
	*There ARE three "ammo" dumps. One is right at the TOP of the south edge hill,
	 and requires a pretty decent jump at the end to get it.
	*For further help, contact me... go to my home page.

	This map should be practiced offline to get to know your way around... where the
	powerups are... To do this, OFFLINE, load the game, and hit "MultiPlayer" (yes,
	even though you aren't playing against anyone)... hit the "Null Modem" selection,
	then "Create Game". Make SURE you hit "Sync Join OFF" after you pick the map. In 
	an online MP race, Sync Join should be ON, to coordinate the start of all players,
	and Sniper should be OFF.
	
	May the Farce be with you.

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

***NOTE***
If you have trouble with Multi Player games after installing any map with "Map Adder",
refer to my home page at http://www.compusmart.ab.ca/frelance ... go to the "Games"
page, to Battle Zone... the solution is there. For ANY trouble with this map that 
you can't solve, or things that need fixing, drop me a line at frelance@compusmart.ab.ca
(Trouble with Map Adder is very unlikely with the new ver, Mapadder 1.0b, included here)

*********

Before you begin, exit Battlezone if it is running.

1) All the files in the zip file need to be unzipped into your BattleZone\addon directory (folder).

2) Do not modify any of the files in any way!  The map will no longer work and/or lose
   multiplayer compatability.

3) Run mapadder.exe (Mapadder) from your Battlezone\addon directory (folder).
   When it prompts you for the map name enter: "RaveRace" (without the quote marks).

Next time you play multiplayer, you should see "Z Rave Race!" as one of the available
strategy maps. The "Z" denotes a map that is limited in vehicle selection. (Don't
worry. That's to make sure everybody runs the right machine.)

If you have problems installing the map, make sure you have the following files in your
Battlezone\addon directory (folder): 

RaveRace.bmp
RaveRace.bzn
RaveRace.des
RaveRace.hgt
RaveRace.lgt
RaveRace.mad
RaveRace.mat
RaveRace.trn
RaveRace.txt
Mapadder.zip





If you have further problems, please contact me at frelance@compusmart.ab.ca or
