SnapAddon: Basic 3 Step Procedure

For those of you who are not familiar with the snapshot aircraft, must be 
understood that the bat.file within this folder will not work unless the
SnapShot program by Paulo Morais has been installed inside your directory 
where all further SnapAddons must be placed in order to be activated. You 
may on the other hand extract these files directly to EAW's main directory 
but you will not have the ability to fly the new model with its modified FM 
or accessing its customized armaments.

For those that have Windows XP an alternative Snapshot program was updated 
by Moggy just to accommodate this latest OS by following the same identical 
steps:   
  

1) You must installed the contents of the snapfolder within your SNAPShot 
   directory folder and may not change this particular SnapAddons name since 
   all such addons have now been specifically reconfigured by the SNAPShot 
   ultility. Otherwise the programmed path will have been corrupted and the 
   bat.file icon will not work if altered in any way. 
   
2) Before you proceed to the next step make sure all of your Panel A/C have 
   been pre-selected prior to activating any SnapAddons or else its Flight 
   Model and new loadouts will reset to EAW's default if you should re-open 
   the ECAPanel afterwards.  

3) Open this addons folder and touch nothing else except to right click on 
   the bat.file and scroll to "open". Right click only this command and the 
   program will automatically install all of the necesssary files directly 
   to your directory. And thats it unless you are making a separate install 
   for changing texture files or if you want to change this aircraft to any  
   different slot then follow step four:

4) Instead of opening the bat.file you should scroll to the command line 
   for "edit" and simply change the "first" 4 code letter name that is in
   the destination slot line "inst.bat" and this newest assigned slot will
   remain permanent until you change its destination again.

SnapAddon: Warning about SnapShot limitations 

1) Hex-edited weapon files that were altered by borrowing any of the games
   default weapons in order to substitute for a new weapons look will not be 
   compatiable with this program. Should such new ordnances be included as a 
   secondary installation we suggest that you only use this addons original 
   presnappped slot before advancing to step 4. Please follow the "customized
   ordnance instructions" that may accompany as an addedum for an additional 
   installation.

2) This program is limited to only swapping default EAW tpc/3dz files which
   are now regarded as Lo-Res camos. Since this program was configured before
   Hi-Res was developed, SnapAddons will not be able to use those new files 
   due to complications experienced within transparencies or renaming files 
   that are not recognized by EAW's normal 4-letter coding.
