- Updated installer again, Only the installer has changed, nothing in files did, so end users that already downloaded this, don't have to do it again. Added alternate cfg support so it doesnt touch stock, added icons and start menu sections. Also tossed a shortcut on desktop. Nice and pretty now. Everything works.

This Demo contains:
- 1 Instant Action Demo mission (made by General BlackDragon)
- 1 Deatchmatch map "DM Pyramid"
- Full BZC Shell complete with MP chat lobby
- 10 Battlezone 1 ships to pound eachother in MP with :)
!Warning - Public Beta 3's multiplayer is very warpy/laggy, and has dissapearing weapon renders once multiworld has been enabled (someone else enters game) If this bugs the crap out of you, host a lan, locked game, and use extra options to play against bots. (I was very *gracious* allowing the 1 MP map as it is, due to this. I was worried about the lag putting off BZ1 players. I can assure you, the full version in PB4, when released, will not have these issues)
Hope you enjoy it. :)

===============================LINK UPDATED===============================
This will be the last time I patch the Demo, I promise.
I wonder if this could get stickied for a while, untill the full version comes out?
I say......NO!
Because the main topic lives elsewhere.
I can change that :D
Windy and I used the shell to make a mpi on dunes and she hosted and I tried to leave her game but the "leave game" icon was unclickable. I could only click "return to game" icon. I had to have her kick me so I could leave. We'll play it some more later. Was cool though.
Readme/installer notes to install for the resolution u play on. If you don't, it'll try to draw things that may be off screen because resolutions dont match.
