|Description : That is the first of a series of six RBR xpacks that I would like to release for BTB.|
| I start with this one because it have the most diversified database of objects. |

*** Installation ***
----------------------
Just copy the .zip file to your
BobsTrackBuilder/Xpacks folder.
No needs to unzip.

*** Known Bugs Limitation/Shortcomings ***
--------------------------------------------
- Using elevation on terrain when particular
SObjects has been applied will result in objects
not being perfectly stitching togethers anymore.
- Background Trees used as a SObject are made using
planes, and it's most probably possible that
flickering will occur in-game if you put them
on particular angles. *That will be fixed using
some negative values in a future BTB version.
- This Xpack is designed for BTB and Rx_plugin.
For the wallaby users purpose, one shortcoming
is that this xpack use more OTPO, OTPT & TTPO
than a normal track would utilize (I had no time
for that). One of my plan for future xpacks is that
I will pack and organize all textures to fit in one
OTPO, OTPT & TTPO. Maybe I will try to repack them
for this Xpack, but that is a lot of work as I need
to remap all theses Objects. Anyway, navigating
through thoses folders, you will notice that
majority of the Objects are on Harwood Forest plates.
Here is how thoses are designed :
01 : Harwood Forest
02 : Falstone
03 : Menu
04 : Shepherds Shield
05 : School
06 : Schoolyard
You can always remap some of them for your particular
needs regarding your 3dsmax project if you want.
I am fully dedicated to make it the best product,
So, if you are aware of any other bugs that occurs
using this xpack, please report me on forum in the
GB Xpack thread,
or by e-mailing me at:

*Please take note that it is bound to take a while to implement

Don't expect it anytime soon. I rather want to concentrate on
other xpacks and my life (school, work, etc...)
