  Bierbuden Autoupdate is a tool for file-synchronisation between your local
  game installation and the game servers of bierbuden.de. The intended purpose
  of this software is to allow users to join the game server of bierbuden.de
  in an easy, fast and comfortable way, without the trouble of downloading
  all needed files manually. Less file management - more racing. The use of
  the Bierbuden Autoupdate software is free of charge as long as the
  intention of using this software is as above described. Any other intended
  use is prohibited without the explicit written authorisation of the
  website-operator of bierbuden.de (noplayer@bierbuden.de).


  Installation
  ============
  1) Download and install the Python 2.7 - interpreter for 32-Bit or 64-Bit
     Windows systems. (see Bierbuden website or www.python.org)
     Make sure you install Python as an administrator of your PC.

  2) Download and install the wxPython 2.8 (Unicode) - library for Python 2.7.
     (see Bierbuden website or www.wxpython.org)

  3) Create an empty folder, e.g. "Autoupdate", separated from your local
     game installation, which has enough space (more than 12 GB recommended)
     for all oncoming downloads. Its purpose is to be an archive for all
     downloaded files from the Bude.

  4) Extract all files from the zip file "Rennsimulanten-Autoupdate 3.0"
     (available on the Bierbuden websites) into the created folder.

  5) Execute the script-file "pilsbierbude_en.pyw" with a double-click. This
     opens the setup-wizard, which leads you through the configuration of all
     essential information on its startup:

     - username and password (= your account data from the Bude )
     - the folder of your game installation
     - the "Archive Folder" for your downloads from the "Bude"

     After that the script scans your game installation for all installed
     cars & tracks. This process may take a few minutes, depending on your
     hardware configuration. All files to be downloaded and all files (if any)
     found in your local "archive folder" are listed at the end of this
     process. DOWNLOADING AND SELF-EXTRACTING of all listed files will start
     after confirmation. Please note, that completing all downloads,
     especially the huge amount of data when downloading for the first time,
     may take a while depending on your internet connection, so you should
     cancel all other bandwidth-sucking tasks while downloading.

  6) Ladies and gentlemen! Start your engines! :-)


  For oncoming updates you'll only have to use the button "Update" at the
  scripts GUI. If you are asked for an actual download-ticket, go to the
  Buden website, scroll down and check the frame "Autodownload", located at
  the bottom-left of the Buden website. Note: You have to be logged-in
  to make the download-ticket visible!

  Important: all downloaded files will be saved in the "Archive Folder" and,
  of course, they should be left there. On a complete reinstallation of the
  game these files don't have to be downloaded again, but will be extracted
  automatically by the script. So a complete reinstallation won't take
  longer than a few minutes! Amazing, huh? B-)

  The Autoupdater now comes with a (more or less) complete documentation
  which covers all functions and features of the program. It is accessable
  through the "Information" button at the scripts GUI or the F1 key. So if
  you are facing any problems, please check out the documentation first.
  Enjoy your stay at the Bierbuden game servers and make sim-racing how it
  should be: FAIR & FUNNY!
