TFD launcher with C&C1 dinosaur missions button v1.1        Written by Nyerguds
-----------------------------------------------

This small mod changes the Renegade button on the TFD Launcher to a link to run the C&C1 dinosaur missions.
The installer will NOT work if TFD Renegade is installed.


[INSTALLING]
Run TFD_Dino_install.exe to install the mod.
The install requires these files:
dino1.dat
dino2.dat
dino3.dat
They need to be in the directory TFD_Dino_install.exe is launched from.
If they are not there, the install will not be complete, and you will not have the dinosaur graphics replacing the Renegade graphics in the TFD menu.


[UNINSTALLING]
Run TFD_Dino_uninstall.exe to uninstall the mod.


[PLAYING THE DINOSAUR MISSIONS]
To start the dinosaur missions, click the new "Command & Conquer - the dinosaur missions" button in the TFD launcher.
Then, press "Start New Game" in the C&C main menu and choose a side.

Note that the use of savegames is limited in the dinosaur campaign. You have to finish the campaign in one run. If you save a game in the dinosaur campaign and then exit the game, and continue the dino missions later on, you will be kicked out of the dinosaur missions when you finish or restart the mission, and you will end up in the normal GDI campaign.

There are five dinosaur missions. After finishing the fifth one, C&C will automatically exit. I am still not sure if this is a bug or not, but I don't think so, since this was anormal part fo the end-of-campaign logic in DOS C&C. In DOS C&C it does the same thing when you finish the GDI or Nod campaign.


[BUGS]
The only bug is that the TFD menu asks if you want to run the Renegade configuration tool. The installer places a a dummy program in the C&C folder to make sure it doesn't give an error message when you click Yes.
So no matter if you click Yes or No, it'll still just launch the game.

v1.1 fixes a number of internal bugs that could cause the program not to backup the TFD menu images correctly, which could lead to the loss of some original files.
Many thanks to Rob Palmer for reporting the bug and testing the updated version.
