+# Empire at War ModCheck
+
+The ModCheck tool for Empire at War and Forces of Corruption allows mod makers
+to check their mods for errors, like missing text entries, references or corrupted
+models or map files.
+
+The tool was originally developed by Mike Lankamp and is currently maintined by
+the contributers to the Alamo Engine Tools GitHub organisation.
+
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Operating System: Windows 7 or newer
+- A functional installation of Star Wars: Empire at War and Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Place the binary next to the mod's data folder.
+2. Run `./ModCheck.exe` with one of the following arguments from a command line:    
+    `/FOC` for Forces of Corruption mods    
+    `/EAW` for base game mods    
+3. Optionally add `>mod_check.log 2>&1` to write the report to a file (e.g. `./ModCheck.exe /FOC >mod_check.log 2>&1`)
+
+## Changelog
+
+- **2021-01-28 - Release 1.0.1: Legacy Release**
+    - **Fixes**
+        - Updated to the latest Visual Studio 2019 and fixes any compiler errors.
+        - Updates the support for sub-directory resolving.
+    - **Further Notes**
+        - The tool is released _as is_. It builds under current Windows versions and can be used to validate the legacy
+          versions of Empire at War and Forces of Corruption (Disc, gog.com, Origin).
+        - The Legacy release is _not_ officially supported.
+        - Any changes to the legacy release will have to be community driven.
