Thanks to the Domination Editor, to Samah of Shai-Hulud, and to the
Shai-Hulud Editor, for finish work.


--Additional Info: READ THIS!----------------------------------------

This map uses the BLOXXMAS tileset, and requires the Shai-Hulud
Activator to install into Dune 2000, since it is in DMP format.

IF YOU ARE RUNNING THIS MAP IN MULTIPLAYER MODE, IT WILL NOT SHOW THE
MAP CORRECTLY UNLESS YOU TRICK THE GAME INTO THINKING THAT THE DEFAULT
BLOXBGBS TILESET IS RUNNING.

I USE SIMPLE DOS BATCH FILES TO DO THIS.  THEY ARE IN THE 'TILESET_
SUBSTITUION.ZIP' FILE, WHICH IS WITHIN THE 'AGGRESSIVE_VICTORY' ZIP FILE.

(SOMEDAY SOON I HOPE TO WRITE A VISUAL BASIC PROGRAM TO DO THIS INSTEAD,
BUT THAT ISN'T EVEN STARTED YET.  THESE BATCH FILES WILL HAVE TO DO UNTIL
THEN.)

FIRST RUN 'SAVEFILE.BAT'.  THIS COPIES THE VARIOUS 8-BIT AND 16-BIT 
TILESETS INTO BACKUP TILESETS WITH THE *.B8 AND *.B16 FILENAME EXTENSION,
RATHER THAN THE DEFAULT *.R8 AND *.R16 FILENAME EXTENSIONs.  THIS ALSO
COPIES BOTH THE 'BLOXBGBS.R8' AND THE 'BLOXBGBS.R16' FILES INTO A 
'HOLDING.R8' FILE AND A 'HOLDING.R16' FILE, AS FURTHER BACKUP.

NEXT, RUN YOU WILL NEED TO RUN THE 'BLOXXMAS.BAT' FILE FROM A DOS PROMPT.

YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO SELECT 8-BIT PLAY, SINCE IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS
NO BLOXXMAS 16-BIT TILESET.

WHEN YOU ARE DONE, RUN 'BLOXBGBS.BAT', AND IT WILL COPY THE 'BLOXBGBS.B16'
FILE TO 'BLOXBGBS.R16', AND IT WILL COPY THE 'BLOXBGBS.B8' FILE TO
'BLOXBGBS.R8'.  WHEN THIS IS DONE, YOU CAN AGAIN REVERT TO 16-BIT GAMEPLAY.

ALSO INCLUDED IN THE AGGRESSIVE_VICTORY.ZIP FILE ARE BATCH FILES FOR
SUBSTITUTING EACH OF THE OTHER TILESETS, FOR MULTIPLAYER MODE GAMEPLAY.

----------------------------| SPECIAL NOTE |----------------------------

IF YOU HAVE INSTALLED DUNE2OOO IN A FOLDER OTHER THAN THE DEFAULT FOLDER
OF 'C:\WESTWOOD\DUNE2000', YOU WILL NEED TO MANUALLY EDIT EACH BATCH FILE
SO THE CORRECT FOLDER IS SHOWN FOR YOUR COMPUTER'S INSTALLATION.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This map is simply an equal setup for principally 4 players.  I've 
worked it out to be as about equal as possible, with the same problems
and opportunities for each quadrant of play.  If you choose to play it
with 4 or more players, there will be much more fighting over rock and
spice areas than playing with 4 or less players.


Good luck!
