Rival Kingdoms Installation Instructions:

Installation of Rival Kingdoms is fairly easy and should not take you any more than about 5 
minutes to install and get it ready to run. First let me appologize for a few things.
I have as of yet, not received the femmes skins. As soon as I do, I will put out a patch to 
fix this. For now, she is solid gold and solid blue. Also Inc's map will be added as
soon as its ready along with other maps as we finish them. The final version will be released
 using a profession installer, but for now I have made self extracting zip files.

Let's begin.
First if you participated in the closed testing you should go ahead and delete the rk folder 
the is inside your hexen II directory. This will speed up installation, so you wont have to
keep telling winzip to overwrite the older files.

Now You need to download the other 3 files for RK.

RKpart1.exe (639k)
RKpart2.exe (30k)
RKpart3.exe (9.25 megs)

Once you have these three files we you can begin installation:

PART 1 ( The Executables)
---------------------------------------------------------------
1) Double Click "RKpart1.exe".
-This will launch it and begin the extraction process.
2) A window will pop up allowing you to specify where to unzip these files into.
-The default is "C:\Hexen II" do not change this unless you installed H2 on a different drive or directory.
-If you need to change this go ahead and use the "browse button to switch to your Hexen2 directory.
-DO NOT add "rk"! These only going your Hexen II folder.
3) Once it is pointing to your "Hexen II" directory, press "unzip". 
4) When it finishes unzipping the 2 files you can press "close".

PART 2 (The Shortcuts)
---------------------------------------------------------------
1) Double Click "RKpart2.exe"
2) A window will pop up allowing you to specify where to unzip these files into.
-The default is "C:\Windows\Desktop" you can change this to what ever you want to, just remember where you unzipped it to, cause you will need the folder it creates later in "Part 4". I recommend unzipping it onto your desktop, it will make it easier to do "Part 4" of the installation.
3) Once it is pointing to the directory you want, press "unzip". 
4) When it finishes unzipping the 3 files you can press "close".
-This step creates a new folder called "Rival Kingdoms" on your desktop or wherever you unzipped it to.
-This folder contains the shortcuts for playing Rival Kingdoms.

PART 3 (The Meat)
---------------------------------------------------------------
1) Double Click "RKpart3.exe"
2) A window will pop up allowing you to specify where to unzip these files into.
-The default is "C:\Hexen II\rk" do not change this unless you installed H2 on a different drive or directory.
3) Once it is pointing to  "Hexen II\rk" directory, press "unzip".
-This one needs to unzip into hexen II\rk. You can use the browse button to change drives and point it to your hexen II directory, but make sure you add the \rk after it or the game will now run and you will have to do this step again!
-remember it has to specify the folder to create "rk" and if you changed the drive or directory you need to add this so it should be "C:\Hexen II\rk" or "Drive:\Hexen2Location\rk"
4) When it finishes unzipping the 242 files you can press "close".
- this step should of created a folder inside your Hexen II directory called "rk".

PART 4 (Server Instuctions)
---------------------------------------------------------------
1) open the rk folder you just made in your Hexen II directory.
2) Find the file file named "rk.cfg"
3) Right click it and select copy from the menu that pops up.
4) close the rk folder and open "data1" in your Hexen II directory.
5) find an empty space in there and right click your mouse and select "paste"
6) you should now have a copy of rk.cfg in your data1 directory.

PART 5 (Setting up the shortcuts)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Okay assuming everything went well, all thats left is to set up your start menu

1) Right-click your start button.
- this reveals a menu
2) Select "Explore"
- This will open a window like windows explorer with a right and left window.
3) In the right hand window locate the "Programs" folder and double click it
- your right hand window will now change showing you the contents of your programs folder on your start menu.
4) Resize this window  so you can see Hexen II in the right hand window as well as the folder "Rival Kingdoms" that you created on your desktop in step 2.
5) Left-click the "Rival Kingdoms" folder on your desktop and hold the left mouse key down.
6) Drag the folder into the start menu window and highlight your "Hexen II" folder.
- when dragging it move your mouse curser over "hexen II" to hightlight it while still holding the left mouse key.
7) Once you have "hexen II" highlighted in your right hand start menu window you can release your left mouse button.
8) Double click "Hexen II" to verify that the "Rival Kingdoms" folder is in there.

Thats it. You are done.
Congratulations, you can now play Rival Kingdoms and enjoy.
