* HAM 3.6 Settings Package
*******************************************************************************

Thank you for downloading the HAM 3.6 Settings Package.

HAM 3.6 has been merged into the main 1.13 release as of 22/02/10. Every 1.13
player can now enjoy the new and exciting HAM features.

JA2 1.13 comes with most HAM settings turned OFF by default. Some settings are
ON by default, but they are few and don't really provide the full HAM 
experience.

That's where this package comes in. By installing the HAM 3.6 Settings Package,
you can enjoy each and every HAM feature, from Suppression to Facilities, all
tuned to provide a challenging and exciting new experience.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT DOES THIS PACKAGE DO?

The HAM 3.6 Settings Package will activate each and every feature provided by
HAM 3.6. It is optimized to give balance while still providing a LOT of new
gameplay mechanics, interface tweaks and problem-solving.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT DOES THIS PACKAGE CONTAIN?

The HAM 3.6 Settings Package constains the following ingredients:

* Optimized JA2_Options.INI - with all HAM settings turned ON!
* Facilities.XML and FacilityTypes.XML - For experiencing the new Facility system.
* JA2_with_HAM_3.6_PlusAI.EXE - A game executable with improved AI behavior.
* vfs_config.JA2113-HAM.ini - a VFS file that activates the DATA-HAM folder.
* This file. If you can't find this file inside the package, you're weird.

The HAM 3.6 Settings Package will not overwrite ANY file on your computer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To install the HAM 3.6 Settings Package, follow these simple instructions:

A) Download 1.13 build 1208 or later. It already includes HAM 3.6!
B) Extract this HAM package into your game directory.
C) 	* Edit your JA2.INI file, found in the main game folder. 
	* Find the line that says "VFS_CONFIG_INI". 
	* Change its value to "vfs_config.JA2113-HAM.ini".
D) Run your regular EXE! Everything else is already taken care of.

Alternately, you may wish to run the special EXE that comes in this package,
called "JA2_with_HAM_3.6_PlusAI.EXE". This will enable a slightly modified
enemy AI that may behave a bit better. It's your choice though, you don't
have to use it at all.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TWEAKING THE SETTINGS

You may find that you wish to tweak the settings of your game to get the
best experience suitable for you.

In this case, your best bet is to use the INI Editor that comes with JA2 1.13.
It already contains all the data it needs about HAM's various settings, as
well as min/max values and a short explanation of each setting!

Alternately, you can edit the INI file directly, using notepad. This is for
advanced users only! The INI files do not contain instructions on the new HAM
features at all!

**** PLEASE NOTE ****
The file you need to edit is DATA-HAM\JA2_Options.INI.
If you're using the INI Editor, make sure to select THIS FILE.

Editing the DATA-1.13\JA2_Options.INI file by mistake will not change anything
in your game. As long as the HAM 3.6 package is active, it will ignore
that file completely.

UNINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

There are two ways to deactivate these enhanced HAM settings:

Option #1:
	Delete the DATA-HAM folder completely!

Option #2:
	1) Edit your JA2.INI file, found in the main game folder.
	2) Find the line that says "VFS_CONFIG_INI".
	3) Change its value to "vfs_config.JA2113.ini"

Both methods disable this package and return your game to normal.
Obviously, the Option #2 allows you to reactivate HAM whenever you want,
by changing the value back to "vfs_config.JA2113-HAM.ini".

It can't get any simpler than that!
