About the Mod:
--------------

The mod is basically a zombie game type where you have to survive as long as you can, killing AI zombies which come in 
waves of your choice. Thats right Zombie bots.

So how do you play and customize

As you have the mod, with your own server or locally, you have full customization on the mod. Basically player have to 
survive from the zombie invasion, which the mod is entirely based on. There are waves which zombies will swarm the map 
and try to eat you, each wave the number of zombies increase, making it harder for the player. between each wave, theres 
a grace period (when its safe and all zombies are eliminated from the wave that just took place) there are depots which 
spawn on the map which regenerates your ammo, and gives you time to hide somewhere else. however, if zombies kill all the 
players, game over! Additionally most of the game settings are changable such as the zombies per wave; number of waves 
and grace time. Including much more such as zombie strength/speed. Look down to "Changable settings"

This version is an ALPHA release and not feature complete, expect to find a few bugs

how to install on your game server:
-----------------------------------

Simply edit your cfgs to how you want them (game settings). Make a new folder in your servers mod folder (root\modsz"new folder here") Called btd_alpha_001. However you can call it something else. Then simply upload your updated cfg's/mod.ff/iwd's to the newly made folder.Then change the command line.

example cmd line to create a local server. 

create a shortcut to cod4 on ur desktop
right click properites
and edit the game target

"root\iw3mp.exe" +set fs_game mods/btd_alpha_001 +set dedicated 0 +set map_rotate +exec server.cfg"
