Installation:

**NOTE 1 **  If you already have an older version of Imap, you should first remove ALL the files from the imap and imap\bases folder.

**NOTE 2 **  All ZIP files are to be unzipped to the C:\ root directory.  Each will be placed in the C:\IMAP folder when they unzip.  If you create an IMAP folder and then unzip to this folder, you will end up with C:\IMAP\IMAP and things won't work right!!

  1. Download and unzip IMAP.ZIP.
  2. Download and unzip IDFMAKER.  Install this file in your C:\IMAP folder.
  3. Download and install IMAP2.ZIP.
  4. Download and install the OBJECTS.ZIP.
  5. Download and install the PALETTE.ZIP. 
  6. Download and READ the documentation for each program.

·         You MUST install ALL of these files if this is the first time you install Imap!!!

NOTICE!!!

Imap is the 'Base' program of the series.  All of the other dowlnoads are 'Companions' to Imap. None of the other programs will function correctly unless IMAP is correctly installed first.

CAUTION!!!

The IMAP2 'Autocolor' feature completely replaces the .PCX files.  If you use this feature, be sure to save any previous work you have done with these files or they will be LOST FOREVER.

NOTES:

·         Please download and read ALL the documentation and check the 'Quick Start' topic at InsaneHeat before you try to use these programs.  In any case, I can not be held responsible if Imap destroys any map work you may have already done.  

·         The .pcx file <mapname>.pcx is not optimized for size.  After Imap creates the .pcx file, simply load it into your favorite picture editor and save it.  This will automatically reduce the size of the file.

·         If you have ANY feedback, questions, or problems, please post to me in the 1NSANEHEAT  Imap Forum.

I simply request that any use of these programs in the creation of maps for online play be noted in a 'readme' file included with the map distribution.
