How to install gmdm1
===============

This will sound patronising to most people, but I wanted to make sure even those with minimal computer knowledge could install the map correctly.  I assume that WinZip is being used.  Roll on the early-learning guide to ZIP archives!

NOTE: Your computer may be set up to hide file extensions, which will change the appearance of the filename.  For example, "op4_gmdm1.zip" will just look like "op4_gmdm1".



1.  Extract the file "op4_gmdm1.zip" into your "...gearbox\maps" directory.  To do this:

Right-click on the file "op4_gmdm1.zip".  Select "Extract to..."

In the first text-entry box, type the correct directory name.  For example, if your Half-Life directory is "C:\games\Half-Life" then enter "C:\games\Half-Life\gearbox\maps".

Make sure the "use folder names" box is checked.

Press the "Extract" button.


2.  Open your "...\Half-Life\gearbox\maps" directory (the same one you extracted the "op4_gmdm1.zip" file to) and delete the file called "Install op4_gmdm1.txt" (that's this file).  You might also want to delete the original "op4_gmdm1.zip" file, since you won't need it unless you plan to distribute the map.


3.  Open the folder "op4_gmdm1 info".  Open the file "op4_gmdm1.htm".  Look at this file for instructions on setting up the map and other information.
