***** MoBall 1.0 *****

Hey, MoBall is a mod for the FPS MobileForces that combines traditional gun-based combat with a fast paced, agile, adrenaline pumped ball game. The basic premise of MoBall is to roll the "MoBall" into the opposing teams goal. Usually its moved using vehicles, but some maps offer alternative ways. This scores, and the ball then resets after a short time in the middle of the arena. Time limits can be set, as can goal limits, just as in CTF or Detonation. The game uses restricted weaponry choice to focus the gameplay on scoreing, not shooting. Three maps are included in this release, with another two in development for a soon-to-be-released addon patch. I hope that you enjoy this mod, and continue to participate in the MobileForces.org community.

INSTALLATION
I'll assume that if your reading this, you've either already installed the mod or are reading it prior to installing. To install MoBall, just run the included MoBall-setup-1.0.exe file and point the installation towards your MobileForces directory. If you used the default install path this will be C:\Program Files\MobileForces. You can change this in the first setup screen. Just follow the setup program until the mod is installed. No Uninstall is included because it could corrupt you MobileForces installation. To manually uninstall, delete the following files:
