=======================
VC_FrenchRoute_B_beta_1  
=======================

Presentation:
-------------
The "VC_maps" and "FA_maps" serie is my way to show you the close affiliation with the maps created by Pterodon. 
My main objective is to stay as close as possible the original ones but "corrected" to have the nicest versions, 
free of bugs, for the best gameplay and immersion!
Despite nothing is really "new", the maps have been heavily edited!


The mission: "Operation Tin Can"
------------
We have found the tanks but they are not a threat. 
They are only old and rusty french tanks and with a closer inspection, these wrecks are decades old. 
Now, we are going to help Shrew Three to eliminate the remaining enemy forces, but they are not answering the radio...
Something happend! 


Modes:
------
Coop:
The "classic one" we all know, with...
-Addition of: M16s, M14, M60s, grenades and bandages at the Landing Zone!
-The weapons will disappear if you drop them on the ground but...
-Extra weapons will reappear on the map:
To use this feature, set the respawn time in the server "Mode settings".

Coop':
The "classic one" we all know but... 
-WITHOUT the extra M16s, M14, M60s, grenades and bandages at the Landing Zone!
-The weapons WON'T disappear if you drop them on the ground!
-Kills and Deaths are hidden by pressing the "TAB" key.

Discovery:
This "mode" is the Coop one but without the vc bots; ideal to "discover" the map, 
set tactics with your mates, take screenshots or...whatever! 
In this mode, don't use the whole team as the respawn method or avoid to die (NO respawn)!
-Addition of: M16s, M14, M60s, grenades and bandages at the Landing Zone!
-The weapons won't disappear if you drop them on the ground.


AVAILABLE in ALL modes:
-3 Ammoboxes without the grenades dispersed on the map: ON/OFF
To use this feature, check or uncheck the "Show ammoboxes in levels" option in the server "Settings".

Notes:
------
-VC_FrenchRoute_B is the sequel of VC_FrenchRoute_A from the "Operation Tin Can" mission (2 maps)!
I strongly advise you to play both maps "in a row" as "one mission"!  ;)


Known "bugs":
-------------
-Sometimes, the fog won't be applied on the characters/bots anymore; mainly if you rejoin the server!
This bug appears for still "unknown reasons". I'm still searching but I'm afraid it won't be possible to correct it 
in the future.


Thanks:
-------
A big THANK YOU to all "my" beta testers and friends for their help and patience; as well as...
PTERODON for the creation of this still great game, named: VIETCONG!  :)


HAVE FUN!!!  :)
