 Preface
-----

    First of all, thank you for your interest in the Atlas.  The Atlas was originally 
    designed for Eden Eclipse, a Total Conversion for UT2004.  You can find more 
    information on Eden Eclipse, our progress, and our team on our website, at 
    http://www.edeneclipse.com.  We have a forum, and try to post regular updates
    with pics and previews.

    The Atlas is being released as a Vehicle/Mutator combination for use with the 
    UT2004 retail version, and is compatible with all retail versions of UT2004. 

    The purpose of the Atlas is to move a team from point A to point B, with no regard
    to what lies in between.  The Atlas is capable of climbing steep hills and racing
    through muddy bogs without getting stuck, or losing traction on a slope and sliding
    off.  Also the Atlas is extremely fast and maneuverable, which should reduce 
    casualties enroute.

    Unfortunately though, the Atlas does not have a proper passenger weapon (and 
    therefor no one can sit in the passenger seat).  A later version may include a
    passenger weapon, so stay tuned to our website!

    Also, please note that the contents of this package are considered OPEN SOURCE,
    and you may use them freely at your disclosure for any purpose you may deem fit,
    however if you do modify them, please let us know, and please also include this
    readme in your package, and give credit where due.  We did work hard on this, 
    and only ask that we be recognized for our effort.  Plus, passing off other
    people's work as your own makes baby Jesus cry. :O

2. Installation
-----

2.1 NSIS Installer
-----

    If you downloaded an application and installed it, then you're ready to go!  There 
    are no further installation tasks for you.  :)


2.2 Zip Installation
-----

    Just extract the zip file into your UT2004 directory.  All files will automatically
    be placed in the correct sub folders.


3. Usage
-----

    The ee_atlas.u file contains a Mutator which will allow you to replace any vehicle in
    in any map with the Atlas.  The mutator is configurable in-game, but will replace
    Hellbender by default.

    Alternately, you may summon the Atlas in an Instant Action game by opening the 
    console and typing "summon ee_atlas.atlas".  Be sure to have on godmode or you will
    be crushed when the Atlas is summoned on top of you.

    Finally, if you wish to place the Atlas in your map, you may open Atlas.u in the
    Actor Browser, and place the AtlasFactory as you would any other VehicleFactory.


4. Troubleshooting and Bugs
-----

    If you run into any trouble, first try uninstalling the Atlas, then reinstall it.
    This will clear any bad files, or bad settings in your ini file which might be 
    causing problems.  If the problems persist, you may contact us on our forums, 
    http://board.edeneclipse.com.  We will do our best to help you as much as possible,
    however we are extremely busy so it may take a little time to get a reply from
    someone who can help, so please allow us time to get the message out.
