menenGUIv2


Installation:
=============

1. Remove any previous GUI's before installation, as they may interfere.
   - Easiest way to do this is to backup your Config.cfg & autoexec.cfg from the CFG folder, and then delete the "cfg" "scripts" and "resource" folders.

2. Copy & paste cstrike folder into "\Steam\SteamApps\username\counter-strike source"
   - Confirm file overwriting.

3. Enter your server's rcon password in "cfg\menenGUIv2\rcon.cfg"

Instructions:
=============

* 	Using the Advanced Rcon Menu - http://team-royalflush.com/menenGUIv2/teammenu.jpg
	Simply press the chooseteam button (Default: M) when playing on a server, and click one of the boxes to execute the command on the server.
	NOTE 1: You MUST enter your rcon password in "cfg\menenGUIv2\rcon.cfg" for this menu to work.
	NOTE 2: Match Config names MUST be the default names on your server, as when downloaded from league sites: 
	>	ED Cfg - edcssmr15.cfg					SGL Cfg - sgl_css.cfg
	>	ESL EPS/EAS Cfg - esl5on5eps.cfg			CAL Cfg - calcss.cfg
	> 	The CGS Mr9 Rules & Warmup Configs are smaller configs executed clientside, so do not need to be on your server.


*	Using the Easy Demo Recording feature - http://team-royalflush.com/menenGUIv2/teammenu.jpg
	The menu allows you to quickly record up to four seperate demos, all you have to do is click on "Record Map1 CT" etc to start
	NOTE: After recording, make sure you exit the game, and rename the file from map1_ct to something else, if you do not do this, 
	the demo will be overwritten the next time you use the demo recording feature.


* 	Changing Ingame HUD (Heads Up Display)
	The default ingame HUD for the menenGUIv2 is the Light Blue HUD seen here: http://team-royalflush.com/menenGUIv2/huds/hud_light_blue.jpg
	This is called ClientScheme.res in the cstrike\resource folder.
	To change the colour of your HUD, delete the ClientScheme.res, and copy one of the other 22 HUDs (Lime ClientScheme.res etc) from the "cstrike\resource\huds" folder
	Paste the new .res file into your "cstrike\resource" folder, and rename it to ClientScheme.res (eg: Pink ClientScheme.res -> ClientScheme.res)
	NOTE: If you do not have "show file extensions" enabled in windows, rename the file to ClientScheme


*	Changing Console/Menus
	The default file for the Consoles/Menus is the SourceScheme.res located in "cstrike/resource"
	The standard menu that comes witht the GUI can be seen here: http://team-royalflush.com/menenGUIv2/menus/menu_console_dark_and_blue.png
	Similar to above, delete the SourceScheme.res and go to the "cstrike\resource\menus" folder, then copy and paste one of those files to the "cstrike\resource" folder
	Finally, rename the file from "Pink SourceScheme.res" (etc) to SourceScheme.res
	NOTE: If you do not have "show file extensions" enabled in windows, rename the file to SourceScheme


*	FPS Configs Instructions
	To use the included FPS configs, you have several options:
	1: Rename the desired file to autoexec.cfg (if you do not have an autoexec already, this is the option for you!)
	2: If you already have an autoexec.cfg, you can add in the line "exec autoexec-CEVO.cfg" (example) at the end of your autoexec, 
	    and this will in turn execute the desired fps config as well as your normal autoexec.
	3: Manually copy and paste the contents of one of the included autoexecs into your autoexec.cfg - This is useful if you like some parts of the config but not others.


*	Using the High Settings Config
	For best results, use the config before joining a server. To use, open up console and type "exec highsettings.cfg"
	Alternatively, if you want to constantly play source on highsettings, add the following line in at the end of your autoexec.cfg - "exec highsettings.cfg"


*	Changing Ingame Background from normal to widescreen
	Browse to the folder: cstrike\materials\console - and rename background01.vtf to background01-normal.vtf
	Then rename background01-widescreen.vtf to background01.vtf


*	CPL MouseFix Instructions
	To install, double click on mouse_fix.reg
	To uninstall, double click on removemousefix.reg
	- Use at own risk, no liability accepted.
