//info bellow;

first, some parts in the changelog/readme is written

as standard, like some handy things to know ect ect..
and some of the standard texts can be updated.

installer by jboy included (but i have change it little to fit the bti tracker
1.4, pb edition 1.5.x).
first i will thanks all users
on the btiteams forum and all developer
on btiteam, who have provided bti tracker 1.4, pb edition 1.5.x
with the lovley hacks and the lovley bti tracker source.
don't remove the copyright info in the footer,
think of that, btit is a open source and same with this
full modded edition. by having that copyright in footer
you are supporting the prodject btit and now this release so
we can keep it as a open source and having
the prodject's alive and keep it free.
why im not writing all credits to the users who have
made the hacks i might have included in this release,
is that i can't remember all nicks, but if u "the creator" want to have
your credits in the file just send me a pm on btiteam.org.
but allso think that i have update and mod some hacks by my self. i just want
that everything shall be okey.
