--- PACKAGE DISCLAIMER ---
--------------------------
This package is entirely developed and released by Stoudson Corporation (Urban Assault community).

Redistribution of this package is permitted as long as the file content inside this package is not
altered, changed, or modified without our permission, and the original source (our community) is
referenced accordingly. This package is being constantly updated with new stable OpenUA releases,
so if you wish to acquire the latest version of it, please visit or join our UA community website.


--------------------------
--- ABOUT THIS PACKAGE ---
--------------------------
This is a standalone game file package which contains the 100% original and authentic version of
Urban Assault Trial (the official demo version of the game) content that can be played on the open
source re-implementation of the original Urban Assault engine - known as "OpenUA" or "UA:Source".

The full functionality of the latest version of OpenUA/UA:Source is all included in this package.
The game files in this package do not require any additional installation process before playing,
and both game versions can be played without any prior UA installation on your machine as well.

Notes: Urban Assault Trial does not contain any in-game video or movie files, and the demo version
is also only available in English language version by design.

For this reason, unlike the full version standalone game package, this demo version standalone game
package does not contain the other official Urban Assault localisation and translation content from
the full German, French, and Japanese versions of Urban Assault.


----------------------------------------------------------------
--- HOW TO PLAY THE URBAN ASSAULT TRIAL VIA OPENUA/UA:SOURCE ---
----------------------------------------------------------------
Simply launch the "UA_Source.exe" found in this package to launch the game, and you are now ready
to begin the official Urban Assault Trial with authentic original game data files on UA:Source.

The game files included in this package will also work independently from any other pre-existing
UA installations on your machine, as long as you are launching the game via executables in here.
Additionally, you may also use "Ua_trial.exe" to launch the demo version in the original engine.

This original executable is optional and not strictly necessary for the purpose of this package,
but you may still use it to launch the game in the original engine if you wish. But keep in mind
that the original engine may be subject to various technical issues on modern hardware and system
configurations, which require specific troubleshooting methods. Our community also supports them.


-------------------------------------------------------
--- HOW TO CONFIGURE JOYSTICKS FOR OPENUA/UA:SOURCE ---
-------------------------------------------------------
If you wish to use joysticks in UA:Source, there are some additional customisation steps required
before they can be properly used. The instruction guide for configuring joysticks on UA:Source can
be found in both the text file named "openua_joystick_configuration.txt" and the image file named
"openua_joystick_configuration.png" that are included in this package in different content formats.

If you still have a problem, then please visit our UA community website and Discord for assistance.

It should be also noted that unlike OpenUA/UA:Source, the original UA engine does not require any
additional configuration to use joysticks in the first place because the entire process is handled
automatically. The extra configuration work is only necessary for OpenUA to correct key mappings.


---------------------------------------------------------
--- HOW TO PLAY MULTIPLAYER GAMES ON OPENUA/UA:SOURCE ---
---------------------------------------------------------
In the latest stable version, OpenUA now supports the primitive multiplayer functionality; but the
setup and interface required to host and play multiplayer games are different from the original UA.

OpenUA also still has numerous unique bugs and glitches occurring on multiplayer games. Therefore,
user discretion is advised; and if you notice any unexpected bugs or glitches, please report them.

For now, please visit our UA community website and Discord server to receive direct assistance and
help at configuring the setup and information about playing multiplayer games on OpenUA/UA:Source.


-------------------------------
--- KNOWN ISSUES & PROBLEMS ---
-------------------------------
As referenced earlier in this document, OpenUA is still under development. Therefore, new updates
and builds for OpenUA are being periodically released. The newer builds may inevitably contain or
introduce new bugs and glitches, and it takes some time for us to discover and debug accordingly.

If you notice any technical issues or problems when playing the single-player or multiplayer games
on OpenUA, please report them directly to us with as much details/contexts/evidences as possible.

Detailed Patch Notes for the OpenUA builds are coming soon. Always check the build numbers.


-------------------------------------
--- FAQ & TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION ---
-------------------------------------
Under Construction.

For now, please visit the main website and refer to the primary technical troubleshooting sections.
You may also open a support ticket on the forums or Discord server for further help and assistance.
