Files:  Bloodbath5.rez, Bloodbath5Srv.exe, readme.txt

Installation:  Place Bloodbath5.rez into your Shogo Custom directory (usually c:\Games\Shogo\Custom), and Bloodbath5Srv.exe into your main Shogo directory (C:\Games\Shogo\).  To join a multiplayer game, run Shogo.exe, and select "Customize" from the menu.  Highlight "Bloodbath5.rez", click the add button, and then click ok.  Then, join the multiplay game as normal.

Running a Bloodbath Server:  A dedicated server is provided (Bloodbath5Srv.exe) for those who would like to run their very own little piece of Bloodbath MP Madness :-).  To use, just run the .exe and load the provided (Bloodbath5.rez) rez file.  This server is NOT compatible with Bloodbath 4.0.

So what's Bloodbath?
------------------------------
Bloodbath is a Multiplay conversion for the Monolith game Shogo:  Mobile Armor Division.  New weapons (for both MCA and On Foot), more health, more armor, more gibs :-).  All built to work with the maps that you alreay have;  there's no need to download specialized maps.  

New features include:
New skins!
New HUD!
All zooming weapons!
Invisible tractor beam!
More gibs!
New weapons:
-------------------
OF Weapons
-------------------
Super Shotgun - New and improved...all the power, and less lag :-).
Chain Gun - Sure, the spin-up time is a bitch...but it'll cut a tree in half.  And it eats ammo like a stoner eats nachos.
Laser Rifle - Why should MCAs have all the fun?  The OF version of that favorite bundle of DM Luvin', the Laser Cannon.
Energy Hose - Well, it actually shoots Energy Grenades.  Only a whole lot of 'em at once.
K2X Grenades - Kato grenades.  Only a little less stable.  They move faster, but they don't last as long.  Do not fire in a small room, or around children or pets.
MACE - Matter-Antimatter Conversion Emitter.  Creates small amounts of Matter from Antimatter in it's ammo.  Creates something (in this case, a car) out of that matter, and then spits it forward.  Highly unstable, so it explodes as soon as it touches something. (Yeah, I know it's not scientific, so sue me.  Expect model plugins to change what the MACE shoots soon.)
Voodoo Chile - The Blood2 voodoo doll as ported to Shogo.  It takes a moment or two to perform the Ritual needed to use this item (!), but it pays off with 85 points of damage...
---------------------
MCA Weapons
---------------------
Pulse Cannon - Shoots smaller pulse balls at an ungodly rate.
LSU - Laser Supression Unit.  For laying down supression fire on a large area, fast.  And it zooms.
Spider Mines - The gun's the same, it's the ammo that's changed...faster, and shorter lived.  More potent, too.  Not a close quarters weapon.
Bullgut - Again, the gun's the same.  The missles fly in a nice tight pattern, much faster than before.  Finally, accuracy in a projectile weapon.
Sniper Rifle - Just a slight modification:  now you can fire full auto while zoomed.
RHVC - Rotary High Velocity Cannon.  Shoots HV ammo at a high rate of speed.  Low smoke, and nice splash damage.  You're gonna like it.
Prototype HVS - High Velocity Shredder.  Pieced together from spare parts by the Fallen's rogue techs, this gun accepts Shredder ammo and fires it like a HV gun should:  lots and fast.  It ain't pretty, but it'll clear a room.
Antimatter Cannon - Shoots accelerated antimatter at a target.  It doesn't work very well, and only deals 75 points of damage.
