bgT5 - Call of Duty: Black Ops on the LAN
==========================================

bgT5 by Die_Rache (BGamer), 2013-2026.


Built on the work of others
---------------------------

bgT5 grew out of the PC Call of Duty community projects of its time. Parts of
it were written by others; the source files name their authors.

- NTAuthority (alterIWnet, alterOps): the base of the Steam API emulation in
  bgt5.dll (SteamBase, SteamUser, SteamApps, SteamUserStats, SteamGameServer,
  SteamNetworking, SteamUtils, SteamMasterServerUpdater), the game
  definitions in T5.h, and the class validation and suicide message patches.
- Terminator (interOps): the custom console commands, and with NTAuthority
  the borderless window (r_noborder).
- NoFaTe: the original logging class of bgt5.dll.
- Open Steamworks project: the Steam interface headers. Steam and the
  Steamworks interfaces are by Valve Corporation.
- The Tiger hash in the LAN service is a port of the Tiger.NET VB code
  (www.hotpixel.net).
- alterIWnet: TWADManager, the tool for the DemonWare publisher files (not
  part of the bgT5 folder; it contains DotNetZip by Dino Chiesa, Microsoft
  Public License).

The playlists, the message of the day and the other publisher data the LAN
service hands to the game are Treyarch's, from Black Ops' title updates.
