                              LaserMod Alpha 1.3
                       ******************************

******************************
Installation Instructions
******************************

1. Unzip the file to your Half-Life folder.  If you have a previous version of LaserMod
   installed, please delete the lasermod folder before unzipping this file.

******************************
Launching the Mod
******************************

You have 2 options:

1. Open up Half-Life (or any other HL Mod) and click on "Custom Game".  Select LaserMod
   from the list.  Click on "Activate".

2. Create a shortcut on your desktop with the following command line (adjust for your own
   Half-Life folder location):

C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -console -game lasermod -numericping

******************************
Changing your laser sound
******************************

Use the command laser_sound # in the console
i.e.
laser_sound 3
selects the third laser sound - valid entries are 1-4

******************************
Playing mp3s
******************************
(These instructions can be found in the mp3-readme.txt file in the 'music' folder)

Place mp3 music files in the /music/ folder under the lasermod directory.  It should have
been created during the unzipping process.

z - displays the current list of files in your /music/ folder and their track number
x - skips to the previous track (or if at the start of the playlist, starts the first track)
c - skips to the next track (or starts the first one)
v - stops playing the mp3

All the mappers who have offered to help (yes, I know there are no other maps in the mod
other than the one Magus has worked on yet, but there will be soon).

******************************
Help Us
******************************

We can never have enough mappers, since maps are what make a mod.  Just drop Strife` a line
or better yet let him know where you can check out some of your work.  Also, and player
modeling you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
