---DESCRIPTION---
This replaces Ship Deck with an entirely new mercs stage. It's based on the stage during the boss fight against Ndesu in chapter 2-3. The stage is tiny so there's no place to hide from enemies. It's not easy at all. Playing in Duo is recommended.

---KNOWN ISSUES---
This stage was designed by Capcom to be only used for a boss fight in chapter 2-3, so there's a few oddities with it being used as a mercs map:
-There's no background sounds. All other mercs maps has some ambient noise in the background, but I couldn't get it working for this one. Not very noticable with music and sound effects going on anyway.
-Some of the lighting might look weird from certain angles.
-There's some not-so-obvious invisible walls in the level. For instance the backalley to the south or the street to the east. It may look like you can walk there, but you can't. The barrels placed around are along the egdes of the map, so you can use that as a reference point for where you can walk.
-There's no "No Mercy" variant of this mod. If you try to start No Mercy Ship Deck, you'll just get an empty stage with no enemies.
-The minimap doesn't work. (with such a tiny stage it's not needed anyway)

---BACKUP INSTRUCTIONS---
This is optional, but highly recommended. If you let his mod replace any arc files without backing them up, you'll have to reinstall the entire game for it become normal again. There's 2 ways to backup I recommend:

A. Go to your RE5 directory and make backups of s400.arc, s401.arc, s402.arc, s403.arc, s404.arc, s405.arc, s406.arc and s407.arc in nativepc\image\archive. Those are the files containing all data regarding mercenaries levels. Copy them back to nativepc\image\archive whenever you want normal mercenaries to return. You'll also need to reinstall the "Mercenaries STP Template" mod, or restore a backup of CoreResource.arc.

B. Go to your RE5 directory and make a complete backup of everything within /nativePC/archive . This will take about 6 gb, but it's the way I recommend if you're testing multiple mods or if you're doing modding yourself. So if you ever want to reset your RE5 install, just copy everything from your backup and overwrite all the .arc files, and then install your favourite mods.

---INSTRUCTIONS---
1. Install the "Mercenaries STP Template" mod (look in the link mentioned above to get a download link to that)
2. Extract the contents of this rar to /nativepc in your RE5 directory (by default that should be \program files\capcom\resident evil 5\) and let it overwrite any files (make sure to create a backup as explained above)
3. Play Ship Deck (this mod replaces that stage) in solo or duo mode. If you play in Duo mode, make sure your partner has the exact same mod installed.
(4.) If you get an issue where you start in a weird spot or you fall through the map, make sure the "Mercenaries STP Template" mod is installed correctly BEFORE installing this mod.
