---CHANGE LOG---
v1.2:
-Even more player spawns added in STP file
v1.1:
-STP file now has spawn coordinates for more than 2 players
-Chicken should now drop gold egg when dying
v1.0:
-Replaced one village majini with a town majini. This was a cause of a crash when playing this in DX9 coop or in DX10 mode.
-Replaced several big man majini with normal majini

---DESCRIPTION---
This replaces Ancient Ruins with an entirely new mercs stage. It's based on the small oil refinery stage during chapter 3-2, just before you meet up with Josh.

Note that this stage is very hard, playing in duo mode is recommended.

---KNOWN ISSUES---
-The No Mercy variant available is the one based on the Normal version of the stage, not the hard version.
-The minimap doesn't work.
-A few items aren't properly aligned to the ground.
-AI may get stuck on the ground close to a ladder, but this rarily happens.
-Enemies spawning from the east spawn openly in a corridor, and there's an invisible wall there (only solution I could think of as the player would get stuck if moving to the door there)

---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 Ancient Ruins (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.
