--Overview

Although Overlord is a new game mode, it still installs and plays like a regular map. As you can see, it's not a .pkg, but a .MIX!! Meaning servers can run it along with regular maps! Great stuff, isn't it?


--Installation

Simply extract C&C_Overlord.mix from the zip file into your Renegade data directory (default C:\Westwood\Renegade\data\), it might take a few moments as it's compressed to the smallest possible size to allow for easiest download. Start up Renegade and do either a 1-player LAN (to test it out) or go online and join/host a server! That's it!

To remove it (why would you do that?!) just delete C&C_Overlord.mix and C&C_Overlord.thu from your data directory.

--Quick instructions

Overlord is just a modified version of C&C mode in which one team must assault a base and complete an objective while another team attempts to stop them. The map is geared towards the defenders allowing them to easily defend key locations and move around the entire base much faster. Attackers will find a rather detailed mission plan onboard the Aircraft Carrier they start on. Basically, get into the base and plant a beacon on the top of the "Alba Cannon". Beware of the Death Run and ramp heading up to the Low Deck, it's well defended by Nod and you will die if you go alone. Also, don't overlook the ability to rearm in the Barracks before heading to the High Deck. Most importantly, don't under-estimate ceiling guns!


--Agreement

Do not alter this file in any way. You can unmix the file as you'll only find textures and a big .w3d. Can't get that carrier yet ;). You can mirror this file, just link back to Havocide and/or the official site, keep this file as is, and let me know!
