+===CARTS MOD for MINETEST-C55===
+by PilzAdam
+
+Version 30
+
+Introduction:
+This mod adds carts to minetest. There were rails for so long in minetest
+but no carts so that they were useless. But this mod brings what many
+players all over the world wanted for so long (I think so...).
+
+How to install:
+Unzip the archive an place it in minetest-base-directory/mods/minetest/
+if you have a windows client or a linux run-in-place client. If you have
+a linux system-wide instalation place it in ~/.minetest/mods/minetest/.
+If you want to install this mod only in one world create the folder
+worldmods/ in your worlddirectory.
+For further information or help see:
+http://wiki.minetest.com/wiki/Installing_Mods
+
+How to use the mod:
+Read the first post at http://minetest.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2451
+
+Configuration:
+(all variables are in init.lua)
+line 4: MAX_SPEED => the maximum speed of the cart
+line 9: TRANSPORT_PLAYER => transport the player like a normal item 
+		 (this is very laggy NOT RECOMMENDED)
+line 13: SOUND_FILES => a table with all soundfiles and there length. To
+		 add your own files copy them into carts/sounds (only .ogg files
+		 are supported) and add there name (without ".ogg") and there
+		 lenght (in seconds) to the table.
+line 21: SOUND_GAIN => the gain of the sound.
+line 27: RAILS => blocks that are treated as rails.
