Update 1

Palettes and additional models
Current release includes four palettes (Pale,Cold,Warm and Gritty) that replace original Blood's. You can install them from Options->Palettes menu. There you also find additional voxel models. They replace original item/weapon/ammo models. Please note: it may require re-install new weapons for correct models displaying if you have already installed.
DosBox recommendations
- If you are using DosBox to play FAITD, please increase amout of memory to at least 42MB.
- Recommended to set CPU cycles to MAX in your DosBox configuration file.
- This mod uses own sountrack CD image instead of putting music directly in map. CD image will mount automatically for each time you start play FAITD and unmount when you stop, but if you already have mounted image (for example - Blood CD) it may not recognize what exactly tracks to play. As result you might get dead silence or start playing original Blood's songs. Just unmount any other CD images when you play FAITD.
- Strongly recommended to get DosBox SVN build somewhere if you want CD audio work correctly. In original DosBox CD audio volume is not adjustable and plays once, until you restart/load game again.
Misc info
- If you messed up with weapons/sounds/models etc, you may reset all files to FAITD's defaults. Go to "Options" menu and select "Reset files". It will ask you to continue (press Y).
- If you want set default current weapons, models and palettes, go to "Options" menu and select "Set default".
- You may use -ini switch to run launcher with specifyed INI file.
- To extract files from BPK file, use -x switch. (Example: launch -x RES.BPK).
- To extract FAITD maps, use BARF with switch -x (Example: barf faitd\faitd.rff -x).
