+						MaxPlugins 0.1.2
+						================
+
+  This releases simply introduces an importer to make a unified release.
+  
+	This plugin set currently consists of an exporter, importer and a utility 
+  plugin. This is a early release, so expect it to be buggy. 
+	
+	Report problems and ask questions here:
+	
+		http://niftools.sourceforge.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=6
+		
+	A tutorial on how to use the exporter and utility plugins can be found here:
+	
+		http://www.silgrad.com/wbb2/thread.php?threadid=2477	
+		
+	Enjoy!
+
+	
+	Changes since 0.1
+	-----------------
+  
+  - Introduced the importer
+  
+	- Fixed collision generation, turned out that Oblivion
+	  doesn't like NvTriStrip's strips. Thanks to Razorwing
+	  for discovering the bug and Tanguy Fautré for his
+	  stripper (http://users.telenet.be/tfautre/softdev/tristripper).
+		  		  
+	
+	Requirements
+	------------
+
+  Exporter and Utility:
+    3D Studio Max 6+, tested with version 8.
+	
+  Importer
+    3d Studio Max 8, untested with previous releases
+
+	Installation
+	------------
+	
+	Copy NifExport.dle, NifProps.dlu, MaxNifImport.dli to your 3dsmax\plugins 
+  directory.
+  
+  Copy MaxNifTools.ini to your 3dsmax\plugcfg directory.
+		
+	Usage
+	-----
+	
+  Exporter and Utility:
+  	Use the NifProps utility plugin to mark objects as collision shapes and
+  	set their Havok material and layer properties. Export files using
+  	"File->Export->Gambryo File (*.nif)".
+
+  Importer:
+    Import files using "File->Import->Netimmerse/Gamebryo(*.NIF)"
+  
+    Its highly recommended that you edit the MaxNifTools.ini file to adjust 
+    paths and other settings to your machine to make it easier to work with.
+
+    1. Remove irrelevant applications from the KnownApplications list
+    2. Fix the RootPaths, TexturePaths and TextureSearchPaths in the 
+       Applications for your machine.
+
+       - The ini file has a substitution mechanism to make it easier to just 
+         change one location and refer to that path in other areas.
+       
+       - RootPaths is used to determine if the imported nif is in one of 
+         those directories if so it assumes the nif is from that app and uses
+         those settings for import.
+         
+       - TexturePaths is used to test if the relative path in the nif is 
+         relative to that directory.
+       
+       - TextureSearchPaths will be recursively scanned for file names that 
+         match the extensions (this can be time consuming so keep it to only 
+         relevant directories to you).
