    System requirments

     - To play FAITD it's Blood 1.10 with Plasma Pack at least required (1.21 recommended).
     - To work with files like install weapons, palettes and models its required BARF tool. You may find it official blood tools distributive or in FAITD\3RD directory. Dont forget to put BARF in Blood directory (not in FAITD). By default it copies automatically at first run, but if it not happens, please copy it manually.
     - Strongly recommended to use DosBox and it's SVN builds. Read DosBox Recommendations section for info.

     Weapons

    You free to install any weapon by selecting from menu. They based on QAV animation and this means you will see not only new sprites, but also changed characteristics.  Currently 8 weapons are available. Do not try to install weapons from any version of Weapon Mod. If you want update weapons in FAITD, download special version (if exist).

       1. Revolver from Power Slave.
       2. Sawed-off from Blood Alpha
       3. Napalm Launcher from Blood Alpha
       4. Beast claws from Blood Alpha
       5. Dynamite from Blood Alpha
       6. Aerosol from Blood Alpha
       7. Riot Gun from Shadow Warrior
       8. Life Leech

    Palettes and additional models

    Current release includes four palettes (Pale,Cold,Warm and Gritty) that replace original Blood's. You can install them from Options->Palettes menu. There you also find additional voxel models. They replace original item/weapon/ammo models. Please note: it may require re-install new weapons for correct models displaying if you have already installed.

    DosBox recommendations

     - If you are using DosBox to play FAITD, please increase amout of memory to at least 42MB.
     - Recommended to set CPU cycles to MAX in your DosBox configuration file.
     - This mod uses own sountrack CD image instead of putting music directly in map. CD image will mount automatically for each time you start play FAITD and unmount when you stop, but if you already have mounted image (for example - Blood CD) it may not recognize what exactly tracks to play. As result you might get dead silence or start playing original Blood's songs. Just unmount any other CD images when you play FAITD.
     - Strongly recommended to get DosBox SVN build somewhere if you want CD audio work correctly. In original DosBox CD audio volume is not adjustable and plays once, until you restart/load game again. You may find one in FAITD\3RD\SVN directory. Just replace original dosbox.exe with this one. Note: this SVN build based on DosBox 0.73, so keep backups if your version is diffirent.

    Misc info

     - If you messed up with weapons/sounds/models etc, you may reset all files to FAITD's defaults. Go to "Options" menu and select "Reset files". It will ask you to continue (press Y).
     - If you want set default current weapons, models and palettes, go to "Options" menu and select "Set default".
     - You may use -ini switch to run launcher with specifyed INI file.
     - To extract files from BPK file, use -x switch. (Example: launch -x RES.BPK).
     - To extract FAITD maps, use BARF with switch -x (Example: barf faitd\faitd.rff -x).
