INSTALLATION & QUICK START
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extract the zip archive into the "loaded" directory which lies under your Kingpin
directory (You may need to create this if it doesn't already exist). To run a
dedicated server you will need to run Kingpin using the following command line:

   kingpin.exe +set game loaded +set dedicated 1 +exec Loaded.cfg

You can use to following command line if you want to host the server on the same
machine you will be playing on:

   kingpin.exe +set game loaded +set deathmatch 1 +map kpdm1

If you have an older version of Loaded installed, we recommend that you delete
your existing version before making the upgrade to version 0.23.

KNOWN BUGS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This version of Loaded is only a beta release and is still under going a test phase,
we a confident that we have identified all the bugs in this version however we cant
be sure as to say that these are the only bugs!

These are only minor and unless we pointed them out, you may have never even known
of there existence :)

The following bugs are known...
 * Chase camera view-point can be very slightly wobbled
 * Toggling between the standard and improved scoreboard in mid-match can for a very
   short time lead to the names on the improved scoreboard being cut to a maximum of
   13 characters
 * Efficiency calculation in realmode was unfinished at the time of release! This
   sometimes leads to incorrect efficiency rating on the improved scoreboard
 * On very rare occasions, "Cant Find Pic:" may appears for a very short time

Please send all bug reports to wolverine@planetkingpin.com, remember to include
the system spec of your machine and if running a server, the configuration file used.
