INTRODUCTION
============
Can't wait for Westwood to finally bring out more mission disks or Red Alert??
Now you can create your own missions with this graphical C&C Map editor.
We have included a home brew MAP (multiplayer) for testing the program called
TOTALWAR.
A complete tutorial on C&C editing is out of the scope of this document, you 
can find several documents in the FAQ section on the CCMAP support site.

REQUIREMENTS
============
* Windows 95 or Windows NT 4
* 5MB of free harddisk space
* 486 (386 for masochists)
* Mouse
* MIXMAN (available from the CCMAP support site)
* The ORIGINAL C&C distribution disks or CD.


INSTALLATION
============
Copy all the files included in the zip file to a new directory, then copy the
following files from your original C&C CD-ROM to that same directory:
* TEMPERAT.MIX
* WINTER.MIX
* DESERT.MIX
* CONQUER.MIX
If you already have a previous version of CCMAP, please overwrite ALL old files.


EXTRACTING A MAP
================
If you want to edit an existing map, you first have to extract it from the
"GENERAL.MIX" file using Vladan Bato's excellent MIXMANAGER (available from
the CCMAP support site).
You must extract both the .INI file and the .MAP file.
Having completed that, you end up with two files (xxxxx.map & xxxxx.ini).
You can now run the editor and user the FILE/OPEN menu item to read in a map.

MANUAL EDITING
==============
You can read an '.ini' file into a texteditor (like DOS Edit or Notepad) and
make manual adjustments.
For example to change the map size and scenario:

	[MAP]
	Height=62
	Widht=62
	X=1
	Y=1
	Theater=DESERT

where Height is the height in blocks, one block is 24x24 pixels. The maximum
field size is 62x62. X is the LEFT border, Y is the TOP border. Theater is
either DESERT, WINTER or TEMPERAT.


PLAYING A SELF MADE MAP
=======================
First you have to tell C&C to load the GENERAL.MIX file from the HD in stead
of the CD-ROM:
* Copy the GENERAL.MIX file from your CD-ROM to your C&C directory (not the
  CCMAP directory). C&C will automatically use the GENERAL.MIX on the HD.
* Use MIXMAN to overwrite an existing map in GENERAL.MIX (which is now called
  GENER.MIX)
* Overwrite both the MAP and the INI file.
* Now start C&C


FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS
===================
We are always busy with improving CCMAP. The full version of CCMAP 3 has more
functionality than this shareware version.
