for
JFDuke3d and JFSW

(c) Proasm - March 2007



Information
XGroup is a .GRP file creator and extractor for windows and can replace the normal KGroup and KExtract which comes supplied with the games.
Any amount of files can be grouped into a .Grp file.
When switching to XExtract just clicking on a .Grp file will show whats inside and any number of files can be this extracted from the .Grp file.

Con and SwCustom
This section is for those that are not familiar with Con file programming and wish to change game behaviour.
XGroup has gone further in enabling the creator to create his/her own .Con file which gives options to change all Episodes, Mapnames, Titles, Skill names and most weapon amounts, quantity and strengths.
This will inturn be saved with the same filename as the .Grp file but in a .Con extension.
This file will be both the Game and User con files.
A startup .bat batch file is also created for starting the mod/TC.
XGroup will also save a .cfg file for the conversion recording all the changes a user makes as this will allow anyone to just load the file and make further chages if need be.

It should be noted that the exact same is available for Shadow Warrior except here a SwCustom.txt file is created which must go into the .Grp file for Sw.exe to use it.

Installation
As of v1.3 its advisable to create a C:\XGroup folder and unzip the files into it.
XGroup now remembers the last used folder and will default to it.
XGroup will also store all the DN and SW inebtory and weapon .cfg files in this folder.
These files can later be loaded for Inventory/Weapon setups when need be.
