   Why This Fix?

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~



   First of, congrats to FTS for another fuckup. Another 'Working' game

   where a small fix would have been enough. This fix is the only

   difference between the TBT-rel and the FTS-rel. Oh and FTS offcourse

   ripped the music in order to make an addon and see their name twice

   on sites.



   To FTS:



   - Why do you think this game was relled as TBT?

   - You seem to think of yourself that you're better than MYTH, but

     you did the same dumb shit in repacking a whole release instead

     of just doing a small fix.

   - Who knows if the rip you had done at the time when TBT relled

     had the 3dfxvgl.dll included? Personally I doubt it.



   So: FTS fucked up once again.



   With this fix and the original TBT-release you have everything, that

   FTS' repack would give you. So feel free to nuke FTS once again :)





   GAME NOTES:                                                               

   ~~~~~~~~~~~                                                               

                                                                             

   Tread Marks is an Off-Road Battle Tank Racing and Combat game.            

   Unlike most off-road racing games, in Tread Marks you can actually put    

   holes and scorch marks in the terrain, which last for as long as the      

   race does and don't hurt performance. With a suitably powerful weapon,    

   you can even dig yourself a new canyon, or level a significant chunk      

   of the map!                                                               

                                                                             

   The terrain engine is a binary-triangle tree based dynamic view dependant 

   Level of Detail height field renderer, taking complete advantage of fast  

   3D hardware accelerators, and allowing total run-time modification of the 

   landscape. The desired level of detail can be adjusted on the fly to suit 

   the performance of the system running the game, and the desired frame     

   rate of the player.                                                       

                                                                             

                                                                             

   The new features in 1.5 are all not known, what we do know is that the    

   number of them are too numerous to provide in a patch. Some of the new    

   features of which are known include:                                      

                                                                             

     * Ability to use your own mp3's for in-game music

     * New training maps                                                     

     * Alterations to weapons and tank entities                              

     * New GUI                                                               

     * Changed weapon spwan times in maps
