***BATTLEFIELD VIETNAM AI ENHANCEMENT MOD by GRENADEMAN***

Creator: Grenademan
Version: v1.2
Game: Battlefield Vietnam
Description:

This version of AIEV aims to greatly improve the bots, aswell as to make the game feel more polished. It also aims to make the
game more realistic and challenging for single player and COOP. This version gives the bots a massive amplification of their abilities, making them
more psychotic yet intelligent on the field of battle. And of course, modifications have been made to other things in the game. Hopefully, this final version will
keep everyone happy. I've had fun making it and testing, and I hope you have fun playing it. Prepare for war.

*****WARNING******

- THIS IS STRICTLY A SINGLE PLAYER MOD ONLY. ANY ATTEMPT TO PLAY MULTIPLAYER WITH THIS MOD ACTIVE
WILL PROBABLY RESULT IN SOME WIERD EVENTS. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY MULTIPLAYER AND THIS SINGLE PLAYER MOD,
THEN YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO SWITCH THE FILES AROUND AT YOUR LEISURE. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY A COOP GAME
WITH SOME MATES, MAKE SURE THAT THEY TOO HAVE THIS MOD. OTHERWISE, THIS IS RESTRICTED TO SINGLE PLAYER AND
SOLO COOP PLAY. AND YES, I HAVE CAPS LOCK ON ON PURPOSE.

- THIS MOD CONFLICTS WITH OTHER MODS. IF YOU HAVE ANY ACTIVE MODS IN BATTLEFIELD VIETNAM,
PLEASE TEMPORARILY REMOVE THEM AND PLACE THIS MOD INTO ITS RESPECTIVE DIRECTORIES.

Known Issues/Bugs:
- When bots fly the OH-6, instead of going from A to B like normal, they will rise up into the stratosphere and move very slowly. When they see an enemy, they'll usually speed up to engage.
- Players or bots are unable to reload in the new BTR-6O passenger positions. I'm not sure how to fix this.
- To get music on the loading screens, simply copy all the files (except "menumusic.bik") from %:\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\BfVietnam\Music into the %:\Battlefield Vietnam\Mods\AIEV\Music.
- Bots don't play very well on urban maps. This is not the mod's fault, rather the heavily flawed pathfinding system that the bots use. Unfortuanately, this is beyond my control. Bots of course play much, much better on open maps.

LEGAL STUFF:
Please refrain from editing my files and going and throwing them into a mod of your own, then pass them off as your own
creation. I put my bloody heart and soul into this so I deserve some respect at least!!
If you find that there is something that you are just ITCHING to change, then send me an e-mail
letting me know what you wanna change and I'll give you your answer.

Now, onto the good stuff.
