ABOUT 'SIDE TRIP PROJECTS'
--------------------------
Side Trip Projects are projects that I do on the side of the Diabolic Experiment or Rebirthe (the two major mods that I'm working on). These projects have a development process of anywhere from a day to a month. Most (if not all) are supported by me, so if you have problems with this side trip then I can most likely help you with it.


---------------------
CONTACTING THE AUTHOR
---------------------
You can contact me via the Phrozen Keep forums, simple as that. Even if its something as trivial as a typo in the readme file, I'll see to it that I take out time to assess the issue.

INSTALLATION:
-------------


OPTION 1 (If this is the only mod you are installing):

1. Place the whole data directory into the Diablo 2 folder (Usually found at C:\Program Files\Diablo II if you are running Windows)
2. Make a shortcut to Diablo 2 (or copy an existing one)
3. Right Click on it and select properties. Add "-direct -txt" (without quotes) to the end of the TARGET: (Just below Target Location) line, like this:
"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -direct -txt 
4. Your done! You can double click the shortcut to run Diablo 2, or double click your original shortcut to play Diablo 2 vanilla.


OPTION 2 (If you have a mod already installed):

1. Create a new folder in your Diablo 2 folder (usually found in C:\Program Files\Diablo II\) titled 'ZoomZoom' (so your directory should read C:\Program Files\Diablo II\ZoomZoom, for instance)
2. Make a shortcut to Diablo 2, or copy an existing one.
3. Right Click on your shortcut and select Properties from the box.
4. Add "-direct -txt" (without quotes) to the end of the TARGET: line, after the quoted part, so it should read something like:
"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -direct -txt 
5. Change the START IN: line, to something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Diablo II\ZoomZoom"
6. Your done! Double click on your new shortcut to run ZoomZoom, or double click on your original shortcut to run Diablo 2 vanilla
