Notes for 1.0:
See the HTML help in the doc directory for full documentation.
All available maps aren't used on a server by default. You can select from the cmaps directory the maps you want to use, and copy them to the maps directory. Visit http://koti.mbnet.fi/outgun/extras/1.0.html for more maps, and also sound and graphics themes.
If you are an author of one of the maps on this package, and want your map removed from the distribution or updated, or the credits changed, contact us at outgun@mbnet.fi. Also feel free to send us new maps to be included with the game. Especially good ones. ;)
This game is free software under GNU GPL. See the file 'COPYING' for more details. Download the sources from http://koti.mbnet.fi/outgun/
There most certainly are bugs in this program, but at the time of release we aren't aware of any. See http://koti.mbnet.fi/outgun/1.0/known_issues.html for a list of known problems, including bugs when they are found. If you find a new bug, please report it! The quality of future versions depends on you.

This game uses these libraries:
- Allegro - http://alleg.sourceforge.net/
- HawkNL - http://www.hawksoft.com/hawknl/
- Pthreads-win32 - http://sources.redhat.com/pthreads-win32/
The Windows executable and DLLs have been packed to almost 50% of their original size using UPX - http://upx.sourceforge.net/
The HawkNL NL.dll shipped with the Windows build of Outgun is modified by Nix to avoid some problems (sockets that are left open with at least Windows 98 SE, and "address already in use"). Sources for the modified version are available at http://koti.mbnet.fi/outgun/HawkNL168src_Nix.zip
