+# Artery RPG base
+
+Artery is a gamemode base for Garrys Mod that aims to provide a lot of the fuctionality needed to build an RPG. Artery is organized as a set of modules that each provide one functionality, and an editor that provides an easy-to-use interface for setting up worlds.
+
+Artery can:
+
+* Stich several servers togeather to create a single logical world
+* Save and load player data
+* Spawn npcs that wander around, give quests, provides shops, and more!
+* Easily work with external NPC addons so you don't have to make all the stuff to kill yourself
+* Allow for extensable addons to change basic parts of artery, or just add on to the base
+
+##Dependencies
As of now, artery depends on the following addons:
* bobbleheadbob's zone tool
-* CapsAdmin's PAC3
+* CapsAdmin's PAC3 (+JetBoom's animbonelib which comes packaged with PAC3)
* artery_editor
+
+## Instalation
+
+To install, simple clone this repository into the gamemodes/ folder of the server. Start the server with `+gamemode artery`
+
+## Setup
+
+In order to build your world, you will probably need to write a lot of your own items, and a few npcs. This is much easier with the artery_editor addon, and GCompute. Just start the server with the sandbox gamemode.
+
+* To add npcs, go under the entities tab, and go to the "artery" section.
+* To add randomly spawning monsters, place art_huntablespawn points around the map, and then create zones with bobbleheadbob's Zones tool. Configure the zone with the monsters, and chance of spawning you want.
+* To add new items, see the items tutorial on [the documentation](https://cogarr.net/artery/)
+* To stich servers togeather into a logical world, use the zones tool to place art_serverchagne volumes, configure the volume with the server to go to (ipaddress:port) and the location on the server to spawn the player.
