+# Instructions 
+
+## Installing the correct version 
+
+If you want to host a public grief server you need to include this fix otherwise teams don't balance.
+I've decided to offer up two versions of the grieffix mod so if you don't want to use the version with bonus settings you can use the basic version.
+
+### Installing the basic fix
+
+Compile grief_fix_basic.gsc as _clientids.gsc and place it in maps/mp/gametypes_zm
+
+### Installing the enhanced version
+
+Compile grief_fix_enhanced.gsc as _clientids.gsc and place it maps/mp/gametypes_zm
+
+### Loading up Grief
+
+Make sure you have the dedicated_zm.cfg and the grief.cfg in gamesettings added from here:
+https://github.com/xerxes-at/T6ServerConfigs
+Next make an sv_maprotation in the dedicated_zm.cfg with only 1 map loading up the grief map of your choice.
+It should look like this 
+```
+sv_maprotation "exec zgrief.cfg gametype zgrief loc town map zm_transit"
+map_rotate
+```
+Double check if you have another sv_maprotation set already since that can cause errors.
+
+Feel free to modify the zgrief.cfg to change a few settings like start round or magic
