Sedimentary Files

Deletion of the following files and directories would make the initial installation tidier.

1. demoheader.tmp
2. stats.txt
3. textwindow_temp.html
4. cfg\banned_user.cfg
5. cfg\banned_ip.cfg
6. cfg\config.cfg
   If a customized config is desired, include a cfg\config_default.cfg in your mod release.
7. scripts\kb_def.lst
   See The Default Keyboard Layout
8. scripts\settings.scr
   This should be placed in the cfg folder.
9. bin\client.pdb
10. bin\server.pdb
11. Possibly scene.cache and modelsounds.cache if a lower download size is desired.
    
    Note:These files would require rebuilding by the client.
12. maps/soundcache/<mapname>.cache (but leave the .manifests)
    
    Note:These files would require rebuilding by the client.
13. SAVE directory
14. screenshots directory
15. reslists directory
16. DownloadLists directory
    
    Note:These minor files would require rebuilding by the client.
