*********Outlaws Config**********
*********************************

I took the liberty to write up a readme file for this app
since CiaBpi who wrote it never got around to putting one in.
By no means do I take credit in the development of this software.

OLconfig is a small application for quick changes to the registry settings
of Outlaws. Even though usefull in a singleplayer enviroment OLconfig
is at it's best when playing Outlaws over a LAN or Internet, IE in a IP game.

Installation
************
There is no installation of the application itself. Just unzip to the directory of
your choice. You should create a desktop shortcut to make life easier for yourself.

The OLKeys.reg is needed to store your settings. By running the OLKeys.reg once, you 
have made the changes nessesary to the registry and can delete the OLKeys.reg if you 
like.

The first thing u can best do is create a new player, based upon the Default User, so 
that if you mess up your configuration, u can always go back to the original one.

You should now be ready to start.


Features
********

Info Windows
These windows contain information about Current Player configuration, IP number of the 
last game, and character used in the last game. It can be updated by the Refresh-Button
and set by using the lil button on the right side of the window, thus allowing to change
quickly. Escpecialy the IP-window is usefull for copy/past of the ip-number.

Player
OLconfig stores player profiles. These profiles store your Keyboard, mouse and Joystick 
settings. The individual settings can be chared between profiles, such as keyboard from 
player 1 and mouse from player 2 can be used by player 3 in a third profile.

Keyboard
The keyboard configuration is not yet implemented. However by creating and selecting a 
player profile in OLconfig you can create a keyboard layout from within Outlaws that can 
then be shared with other profiles in OLconfig.

Mouse
Mouse settings work just like in Outlaws. Left, middle and right buttons are configurable
along with X and Y axis sesitivity. It is also possible to check more than one action for
the same button.

Joystick
Not implemented. 
IF anyone is still using Joystick please let CiaBpi know about it, and it will most likely 
be fixed.

Options
sound control for FX, Taunts, Cutscenes, Music, Effects. Check boxes for Auto Aim, Auto Pitch
, Invincibility, Cross Hair etc etc. 

Taunts
Helps you set up the 10 taunt slots available in Outlaws. First column shows the taunt key, the 
second column shows the taunt edit key combo, and the third column is the .wav sound to be played.
If the Text option isn't checked, you can access the files by clicking on the Text/File box:
this will open a list with all the wav-files, currently in your Outlaws directory, and the
option of playing the wav-file. The wav's included in the original files are not accessible
from here.

Multiplayer
Prolly the most important feature of OLconfig. From here you control multiplayer game settings 
like game time and/or frag limits. Game and player names are also altered from this window.
And now to the main feature, the IP storage. OLconfig takes away the need to write IP addys 
down on paper before starting Outlaws. Now you can just copy and paste the IP addy into OLconfig
after the host has given it to you. And when you start Outlaws the join IP number will be there
waiting for you. 

Known bugs
**********

Known bugs at the moment are :
- Disable cutscenes is not working
