Details
------------

This is a beta test for the Halflife mod War in Europe. War in Europe is currently a mutiplayer only mod.


Installation
-------------
-Extract the files from the zip into a folder in your Half-Life directory called WIE.

-Run halflife and select CUSTOM GAME and choose War in Europe.


How to Play
------------

1. Rules

	War in Europe has a new set of rules for teamplay. In order to be able to get new weapons your "frag" ammount must be a perticular number to allow you to select a new weapon from the menu. Here are the current values.

		1. Rifles = 		((No Restriction.))

			A. M1 Garand

			B. Mauser 


		2. Sub Machine Guns =	((3 Frags))

			A. Thompson

			B. Sten

			C. MP40

			D. MP44

		3. Sniper Rifles = 	((9 frags))

			A. Springfield

			B. Mauser

		4. Machine Guns = 	((11 frags))

			A. Browning Automatic Rifle

			B. MG 42

	If your frag limit drops below these ammounts then the weapon will no longer be available. If your deathlimit begins to be come rediculously more then your frags you will also then loose your weapon.

	Another rule that has been implemented is a new spawning system for teamplay. Each player has a certain number of "lives" which is set by the server. When a player uses up all of these lives he is then spawned into observer mode and cannot return to the game until all his fellow teammates use up their lives as well. Then when all players use up their reinforcements they all get spawned back together.


2. Commands\Server Variables


	"changeteam"
		
		This command allows you to choose your team.

	"changeweapon"

		This command allows you to choose your weapon.

	"checkreinforcements"

		To see how many men you have on the battlefield.


	"mp_reinforcements"

		This is a server variable that allows server OPS, to set the number of reinforcements each team 		player is allowed. The default is set to 1. We do not recommend anything over 2. 

	"mp_respawnallafterround"
		
		This is a interesting setting. If set to 1, then when all players from a perticular team die, then 		everyone on the map respawns. If set to 0, then just the perticular team who died will get 			respawned together. With this feature, you really have two different modes of gameplay.

	"mp_respawndelay"

		Allows you to set a delay on the respawn time of each player/team. If set to 0, then delay feature 		is turned off.

	"mp_giveallweapons"

		If this is set to 1, then all weapon restrictions will be turned off, and any weapon may be choosed 		from the menu.

	"mp_ranksenabled"
		
		A command that allows the servers to assign rankings to each player based on their kills.

***NOTE TO MAP MAKERS

I included a warineurope.ol prefab file for the spawn points, game entites, and ammo. One thing you will have to do in order to make the maps work if you decide to make a custom map is in worldcraft go to MAP PROPERTIES and make sure Smartedit is off, and add a key called "mapteams" and give it a value of "allies;axis".
