presents the Single Sector Map for Tachyon BASE WARS!

Please understand, that i can NOT be held responsible for any damage to your software or hardware, 
that may appear due to the use of this MODs in any way! You are completely responsible for yourself, if you install this stuff!

If you do not like it, DO NOT INSTALL IT!

The new maps will be added right after the old ones! 
Unpack these files into your Tachyon folder, you plan to use for hosting
(For instance c:\Program Files\Novalogic\Tachmods\). 
Then install the new maps there. 

To install the files, unpack (= unzip) the "Newmaps.zip" file into your Tachyon folder, where the files SPACE.EXE and TACHYON.PFF should be in!
Mostly that is c:\Program Files\Novalogic\Tachyon\, but what do i know...

Then double click on bw1sec.bat or type the command bw1sec.bat in the command line!

A DOS window will appear. Wait until the process is complete.
Then you may play Tachyon with the new maps.

If anything goes wrong, simply reinstall Tachyon from your CD again or copy the Tachyon.pff file from the CD alone and everything should be functional again.

Windows XP and NT users may experience problems, because XP does not use DOS anymore.
But this can easily be circumvented by this procedure:

- Open up your START menu

- Go to "All Programs" (Win2k users I think may skip this step, but I'm not sure, as I don't have Win2k)

- Go to "Accessories"

- Go to "Command Prompt"


In the command prompt, type the location of your tach folder.

(If you have tach installed in C: \Program Files\Novalogic\Tachyon you would type
"cd c:\program files\novalogic\Tachyon" 
Without the quotation marks)

Now just type bw1sec.bat in the command line and should should run smoothly.

Windows NT users are screwed as far as i know, because they do not use FAT32.
But maybe there will be found a solution for you guys as well in the future.

New things in the MAPS:
====================
Single Sector map means no Tachyon Gates. No Tachyon Gates means NO SPACE ERRORS!

Known errors:
- for some weird and unknown reason, the maps sometimes behave "strange". CapShips will GHOST (they are visible for some players,
but dont have any HULL/SHIELD left), minefields sometimes appear and disappear.
Dont ask me why, i searched for hours to find a reason, but there is none...well anyways it is a bit more interesting not to know exactly
what awaits you...lol!
