RaceProUK's Messenger Plus! 2 SoundPacks
----------------------------------------
This package contains four SoundPacks: AllYourBase, Matrix, MontyPython, and RedDwarf. The plugins are designed to be used just like the Messenger Plus! inbuilt sounds: use /commands to trigger the sounds.
All participants in a conversation must have these plugins installed if they all want to hear the sounds.

NOTE: These plugins (especially the sound files) MUST be installed in C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins\, even if Messenger Plus! 2 was installed elsewhere. This is a limitation in the coding, and will be overcome in version 2.1.
If the DLLs are placed in a different folder, 'install.bat' will have to be modified to reflect the new paths.

System requirements
-------------------
Apart from the usual Windows/Messenger/Plus! load, the following two items are needed:
- Visual Basic 6 Runtimes (available via author's site)
- Windows Media Player (unsure of version: tested with 9 Series)

Installation
------------
To install the plugins:
1. Quit Messenger.
2. If you have ANY of the old versions, these MUST be uninstalled to ensure correct operation. This can be done using their entries in Add/Remove Programs.
3. Unzip all the files in 'RP's Sound Plugins' into C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 2\Plugins\, creating the folder if necessary.
4. Run the file 'install.bat'. This will register the DLLs with Windows.
5. Run 'install.reg', clicking OK in both message boxes. This will tell Messenger Plus! about the plugins.
6. Run Messenger.
7. Use the Plus! menu to find the commands you want to use
If, after installation, there are problems with the plugins or Messenger, ensure that ALL the above steps were followed correctly. Also, make sure that Messenger and Plus! are fully updated, that you have the VB6 Runtimes installed, and have the latest verison of Windows media Player for your system.
