Alien Assault Traders

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: Alien Assault Traders 0.30

Notes:
This version of Alien Assault Traders has quite a few warts 
but it is a fully working version.  It is using quite a bit 
of test code so the code is ugly.  Most of the combat code 
is going away in 1.00. This is why most of those areas are 
not templated.

Make sure you have your database created and the name of 
the database, database user name and database password 
ready before you start to install this package.  That 
information is required when installing.

DO NOT INSTALL OVER AN OLD GAME! 

This is completely different code. If you are wanting to 
use the same database and directory from a 0.21 game you 
should delete all of the old 0.21 code and every 0.21 table 
in the database before installing 0.30. 

These are completely two different beasts. You may cause 
all kinds of weirdness if you try to install 0.30 over an 
old 0.21 or older version of the game.

We are using a special install package that should prevent 
all of the permission issues of earlier versions.

1. Create the directory where you want the game installed 
on your server.

2. Unpack the aatrade_0.30_release.zip.

3. You will find 3 files including this readme.  Upload the 
install_aatrade_package.php and aatrade_package files to 
the game directory.

4. Once the files are uploaded you should run the 
install_aatrade_package.php program.  

IE: http://www.yourserver.com/install_aatrade_package.php

Everything from this point on is pretty self explanitory.

The aatrade_package file is actually a zip archive without 
the .zip extension.  You can add this extension and unzip 
the archive with your favorite unzip program.  I wouldn't 
recommend uploading an unzipped archive to your server.  
You should use the package installer as it will avoid a
myriad of permission issues.
