Star Trek Voyager : Elite Force Mod Launcher
By Maestro (pmills@ntlworld.com)

Version 1.0 - 22nd January 2001 (22/01/2001)


Hi, I've done several frontends in the EF Mod community and I figured it would be 
a good idea to simply release one that groups or individuals can customise to fit 
their own mod, without having to make one thereselves or bug me to make it (yes you 
Massey and Steve).

Below are simple instructions on how to use it...


In order to get the launcher to do what you want, you edit the "config.ini" file, 
that's all you have to do. (don't include the captions around them like I have in the
following examples)



Firstly set the title you want on it, the variable is below.

"modTitle=Your Elite Force MOD"


Then if you want to include a picture, use the command below or use a "0" instead 
(but don't just not include the line). Also the picture must be called "picture.jpg"
and be exactly 400x230 in resolution (or else it'll look really bad). 

"Pic=1"


Here you must set the additional commandlines you want to send to eliteforce, if you don't
then this frontend just became a little pointless :P - If you're unsure of what the commands
are, try looking at some EF mod sites on the net (try http://www.efmodcentral.com - 
should keep Interface happy).

"commandline=+map ctf_voy1"


If you have a readme file to go with your mod, use the below commandline - if not, 
put in a "0" instead, but don't just put nothing in. The file it will look for is
"readme.txt" which will be in the same directory as the "modlauncher.exe".

"readme=1"


If your Mod has a website for it, modify the command below to make the users default 
browser point to URL. If there's no site, put "website=" and the button won't show up.

"website=http://www.ravensoft.com/eliteforce"


Your MOD maybe either single player or multiplayer, if it's single put in the command
below or put "game=multi"

"game=single"


I hope this explains everything to you, if not e-mail me and I'll try to help.

I may create new versions of the launcher, but only if there's enough interest -
so if your MOD uses it, e-mail me.
