=========================================
1. WHAT IS "Duke CTF" ?
========================================= 

For a long time hardcore Dukers have been begging for a
capture the flag style conversion for Duke Nukem 3d, the 
duke tag level in version 1.4 was a capture the flag style
game but it was too difficult for most level builders to
create levels for it due to the complexity of the gameplay.
Many times attempts have been made to create a worthy CTF
conversion yet all have failed, up until now. 
  
Duke CTF features:

* Fast and exciting gameplay.   
* Teamplay and team colours.
* Dukematch backwards compatability.
* Four CTF enhanced levels plus two never seen before CTF levels. 
* Online support.
* Level creating faq.
* Weapons remain unchanged for original badass fragging.
 

=====================================
2. INSTALLATION / STARTING A NEW GAME
=====================================

1) Copy the file Dukectf.zip to your \Duke3d directory

2) Unzip the file Dukectf.zip  

3) Run Dukectf.bat

4) After you have installed the conversion,'SETUP' to play dukematch CTF.
   All players must have Duke CTF installed in order to play the game.

   NOTE : All levels in version 1 are in episode 2 however they will not
          work in single player

7) After some intense CTF play mail me at Mighty7@hotmail.com to tell me
   what you think. Also feel free to build some levels and send them to
   me so I can put them on the site ( please DO NOT change any con hacks
   or artwork ).  

========================
4. GAMEPLAY DESCRIPTION
========================

There are a few changes made to the normal gameplay of Duke;

===
CTF
===

The boots in the inventory are replaced by a blue flag and the 
steroids are replaced by the red flag. Players of either team
( blue or red ) can pick up either flag but they can also drop
it. To drop the blue flag use weapon 1 ( kick ) this automatically
drops the flag. To drop the red flag you must press 'R' on the
keyboard. When a player has a flag you can instantly know by looking
as a marker appears just above their head. A blue marker (like a mini flag)
a player with the blue flag. Red marker for a player with the red flag and
both markers for a player with both flags. If a player is killed he/she
will automatically drop any flags he/she is carrying. Also when a player is
frozen by the freeze thrower he/she will drop the flags he/she was carrying.
Once a flag is dropped it will be transparent for about 1 second, during this
time it is not possible to collect the flag. After that it will become fully
visible and it will then be possible to collect the flag again.
When you have a flag you must return to your base and hit the spacebar( or the
door opening key ) when you are in front of the black screen. This will take
away the flag and a sound will be heard all over the map ( Duke saying game over
 and a crowd cheering ) indicating that one team has won.


========
Teamplay 
========

This can be used in both normal deathmatches and CTF games.
It is pretty simple, just hold the duck key usually 'Z' and
tap the spacebar ( or the door opening key ). This changes the
color of the pants that your player is wearing. This distinguishes
which team you are on but unfortunately must be done every time your
player is respawned.

NOTE: The spacebar must be tapped or the color will flicker and you
may not get it changed to the right color. 

=======================
4. LEVELS ( EPISODE 2 )
=======================

1. Flags 'n' Frags ( Mike Channell ) A small CTF level. 8 players.
2. Arena of Doom ( Mike Channell ) A great little frag fest. 8 players.
3. Hollywood Holocaust ( 3d realms ) A converted version of e1l1. 8 players.
4. Run the Gauntlet ( Mike Channell ) A mad race to grab your flag. 2 players.
5. The Zoo ( 3drealms ) The Duke3d zoo level converted to CTF. 8 players
6. The Cityscape ( Mike Channell ) Based on my first level ( don't worry, it's OK ) 8 players
7. Air Mobility ( unknown ) a simple but effective idea, based on airmobil.map. 8 players

*******SUPER SECRET PLAYING TIPS*******

These are the secrets of a good CTF player:

Learn from experience where the flags are then you will be more effective.

Pick up the other team's flag and drop it down some huge pit.

Always remember, other players know when you have a flag.

Don't try and drop a flag when shrunk, it will squish you.

Exchange flags with other players on your team, give them to a good one to
hold for a while.

Decide teams on chat beforehand to avoid confusion.
