* Description *
This is a Q2 mod to add CTF teamplay.  Its still limited, but
very playable.  This is a server-side only mod, so
there is no client download necessary.

* Features *
Two Flags :) 
        The flag shows up in your inventory while you are carrying it
        The flags auto-return to base if not touched for 2 minutes
        Flag status command (bind a key to "cmd flagstat") 
		displays the location of the flags
Teams 
        Teams are based on skins
        Players are assigned to teams as they enter the game
        Switch to a male skin to be on the red team or a female skin
		to be on the blue team
	Team scores show up on the F1 screen
Tractor Beam (Grappling Hook) 
        Bind a key to "use hook" to select the hook (alternatively,
		"use grappling hook" works as well)
        You can switch to other weapons while using the hook
MOTD 
        A welcome window is displayed upon connecting
	Server can add a custom message without recompiling
External entity definitions 
	Convert levels for CTF without recompiling the .BSP files
	Customize the loop order of levels

* Installation *
Note: This is server-side only.  Only the server has to follow
these instructions.  Everyone else just plays as normal.

Note: This is based on the v3.05 source, but compiled for v3.09
or greater.  This means that you can either run it on a v3.09
with v3.09 clients or on a v3.10 server with v3.10 clients.

If you're using Win95/NT, create a folder in your Quake2 folder
called VANCTF and extract VANCTF02.ZIP there.  If you use
pkunzip, be sure to use the -d option.  Make a copy of your
existing Quake2 icon (right click on the Start button, select Open,
then double click Programs and then Quake2 to get to it).  Edit
the properties of the new icon and add the following to the end of
the line in the Target box:
	+set game vanctf
Now use the new icon to launch Quake2.

Optional: Create a file called motd.txt in your vanctf folder.
This will be displayed to all clients upon connecting.  There
is room for 4 lines of up to 27 characters.

If you're on another platform, you're pretty much out of luck
for the time being.   Linux support coming soon.  If you are on
an Alpha, mail me.
