Music Volume: Adjusts the volume of the music
Sound Quality: Selects the quality of the sound played in the game. Lower
      quality sounds may result in higher game performance.
Audio Virtualization: Selects the 3D audio emulation mode for a 2 channel
     monitoring configuration  (2 speakers, Headphones).
     The HRTF emulation is done in sortware thus, using
     CPU. It is recommended to select "No Virtualization"
     for minimum requirements computers.
No Virtualization: Stereo output with no additionnal CPU usage.
Low HRTF: Light audio 3D emulation with minimum additionnal CPU usage.
High HRTF: Full audio 3D emulation with more CPU usage.
3D Audio: Enables sound card’s 3D audio hardware support. Disabling 3D
 audio may improve game's performance. Must be enabled to
 activate EAX’s support.
EAX: If your sound card is compatible with Creative Labs EAX Processing,
    enabling this option will greatly improve your sound experience.


Recommended Sound Settings:

Minimum requirements:
Sound quality: Low
Audio Virtualization: No Virtualization
3D Audio: Disabled (disabling 3D audio may improve game's
 performance)

Normal requirements:
Sound quality: High
Audio Virtualization: Low HRTF
3D Audio: Enabled (if available)
EAX: Enable (if available)

Recommended system:
Sound quality: High
Audio Virtualization: High HRTF
3D Audio: Enabled (if available)
EAX: Enable (if available)

Notes:
Raven Shield uses EAX Unified(tm) which makes the Real-Time EAX processing
compatible with EAX 1.0, 2.0 (SBLive!) and 3.0 (Audigy & Extigy).
For quadraphonic & Surround systems, you'll need to select their corresponding
monitoring option in the "Speaker Setup" scroll window found in the "Sounds &
Multimedia Properties" Tab (Multimedia Tab under win98).
The ideal monitoring option for a 2 channel setup (2-Speakers with/without
Subwoofer & Headphones) is Desktop Stereo Speakers.
Low & High HRTF (Audio Virtualization options) won't give good results in a
4-Speakers/more configuration. Use it only with a 2 channel monitoring setup
(Dual-Speakers system & Headphones).

2. Single Player Notes

################################################################################

-If you load a plan in campaign mode which uses a dead or wounded operative,
 that operative is automatically replace by the next available operative in the
 same specialty. This occurs when loading all plans, even those saved by
 players.


################################################################################

3. Multiplayer Notes

################################################################################

3.1. Creating a server

-In the Time Between Rounds option, you can put the "-" character so that all
 players need to click ready for the round to start.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2. Joining a server from the command prompt

-To join a server from the command prompt by specifying the IP address, switch to
 the system directory inside the Raven Shield directory and use the following
 command:

    ravenshield.exe -ip=##.#.#.###

-To join a server from the command promt by specifiying the IP address and port,
 switch to the system directory inside the Raven Shield directory and use the
 following command:

    ravenshield.exe -ip=##.#.#.###:####

-If you join a locked server from the command prompt a pop-up message will
 appear asking for a password or you can switch to the system directory inside
 the Raven Shield directory and use the following command:

    ravenshield.exe -ip=##.#.#.###:#### -pwd=PASSWORD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3. Cooperative mode

-Unlike Adversarial mode, servers do not automatically restart when a second
 player joins them. Instead the first player is allowed to continue playing
 against the computer. An administrator can restart the round using the
 following command:

    restartround

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4. Maximum Number of Terrorists

-In the Create Server Screen, the maximum number of terrorists allowed in
 cooperative games is limited to 25. If you have a powerful machine you can
 actually play against more terrorists by altering the server.ini file. To do so
 open the server.ini file located in the system directory of the game. Locate
 nbterro and set it equal to any number up to 40.

     nbterro=40

 If you set this number over 25 and do not have a powerful machine you may
 experience considerable lag.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.5. Recommended Maximum number of Players by Server Connection Type

-Because not all connection types have the same upload bandwidth, the maximum
 number of players you can host on a server depends on your connection type.
 Below are the recommended maximum numbers of players for servers based on their
 connection type.

 T1 and More - 16 players without any problems

 Cable/ ADSL - Some Cable/ADSL providers purposefully limit upload bandwidth.
 If your provider does this you can host a maximum of approximately 8 players.
 Known problems if you host more than 8 players are Lag and Trigger Delay
 (slight delays when opening doors, manipulating bombs, and the like). If your
 Cable/ADSL provider does not limit your upload bandwidth you can host games
 containing more than 8 players.

 In order to get optimal server performance on Cable/ADSL servers, be sure to
 set your connection speed to Cable/ADSL in the Multiplayer screen of the
 Options menu.

 The average upload rate for a T1 server is around 500 bytes/sec per player, and
 for Cable/ADSL it is around 125 bytes/sec per player. Thus, a T1 server hosting
 16 players has to send 16 times 500 bytes to each player, which ends up to a
 maximum of 128 Kb/sec (500 bytes X 16 players X 16 players) if all players are
 currently visible to each other.

 Here are a few examples of the possible maximum upload rates:

Hosting 16 players
T1/T3 (500 bytes per player) = 128K max upload
Cable (125 bytes per player) = 32K max upload

Hosting 8 players
T1/T3 (500 bytes per player) = 32K max upload
Cable (125 bytes per player) = 8K max upload

Hosting 4 players
T1/T3 (500 bytes per player) = 8K max upload
Cable (125 bytes per player) = 2K max upload

 Note: In cooperative mode, terrorists, hostages and A.I. back-ups count as players.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.6. Change the Uniforms for Adversarial and Cooperative Servers

-In the Maps folder within the Raven Shield install folder are .ini files for
 every map in the game. At the bottom of these files are sections where you can
 change the default uniforms for each multiplayer game mode. To change the
 uniform for a mode simply edit the text after green= and/or red= the desired
 uniform.

 For example:
 ;Team Survival
 SkinsPerGameTypes=(package=R6Game,type=R6TeamDeathMatchGame,
 greenPackage=R6Characters,green=R6RainbowMediumBlue,redPackage=R6Characters,
 red=R6RainbowMediumDesertCamo)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.7. Banning Players from a Server

-Administrators can ban/lock out troublesome players from their servers by
 entering one of the following commands in the console:

 ban
 banid

 To unban someone the server must edit the ravenshield.ini file located in their
 System directory. Scroll to the bottom of the file and find the following
 header:

 [Engine.AccessControl]

 Under this header is a list of all the IP addresses currently banned. To unban
 someone simply remove thier IP address from the list. Change it from:

 IPPolicies[0]=###.###.###.###

 To:

 IPPolicies[0]=

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.4. Known Problems

Alt-Tab and Alt-Enter
-Using Alt-Tab to minimize the game and Alt-Enter to play in window mode is not
 supported by Raven Shield. Although they may occasionally work fine, there are
 many known problems that can occur. Use them at your own risk.

3D Antialiasing Settings of your Video Card in the Display Properties Menu
-By default this option is set to "Allow applications to control the
 antialiasing mode". If you select the "Manually select the antialiasing mode"
 option, the game and/or your PC may crash.

Mouse Focus Changing to Other Programs
-If you mouse occasionally changes focus to other applications, make sure that
 these applications are not set to "Always on top." This may include the
 taskbar.

Long Waits to Join a Server
-If you try to join a server and experience a long wait, the game may be
 automatically downloading a modifed map from the server. Depending
 on your connection this could take considerable time. If you want to
 abort the download, open the console by pressing the ~ key (default key)
 and type "quit". This will close the game, forcing you to restart it.
