Outpost 2 levels
----------------

These DLLs are a hex edited version of the multiplayer levels
supplied by Sierra. They have been edited to work as colony
games. 

Just copy the DLLs to the Outpost 2 folder. You will likely
want to copy the ones from the NoVictoryCondition folder.
Just ignore the VictoryCondition folder, unless the game gets
patched to make those versions useful.



Technical Details
-----------------
The DescBlock of each DLL was edited to change the game type
from MultiplayerLOS to Colony, and the maxPlayers field was
also updated (in at least one DLL) to ensure the AI player
was properly initialized (and received the correct mini map
colors). Slight edits were also made to ensure only one human
player received buildings. In each level two human players
were created by default (as multiplayer had at least 2 
players). For the 2 player level, a loop condition was changed
to prevent the loop from repeating to create the second player.
In the 4 player level, the intial number of human players was
changed from 2 to 1, (the code that checks for additional human
players up to 4 was left intact as the level functions as
intended without changes to that code).

The no victory condition versions also have the call sequence
to create the Victory Condition trigger NOPed. This was done
to create a playable colony mission, as otherwise the game 
would end right away on startup with victory. Versions of these
levels without this change are included in case the exe is ever
patched to change this behavior. Currently the levels with the
NOPed Victory Condition trigger call sequence can not be won 
due to the lack of a victory condition.


Known Bugs
----------
In the "2 player" level, there are at least 3 initial
configurations where not all buildings are connected
to a Command Center, and are thus disabled. This seems
to be a bug with the original level, and so will not likely
be fixed. Just restart the level to try again for a different
configuration, or a different starting location. This only
seems to happen when starting in the top left, where a boulder
can be in the way of certain buildings.

If you attempt to play the versions with Victory Conditions
still enabled, then the game will end right away in victory.
The version without Victory Conditions can not be won. You 
will have to quit to exit the level.
