by Gutwormy
=============================

An in-game trainer for Quarantine Zone: The Last Check (single-player).
Press F1 in the game to open it. There is no extra program to run.


WHAT YOU NEED
-------------
- Quarantine Zone: The Last Check, current Steam version (October 2026).
- Windows 10 or 11.


HOW TO INSTALL
--------------
1. Close the game.

2. Open the game's folder: right-click the game in your Steam Library,
   then choose Manage > Browse local files.
   You are in the right place if you can see a folder called "QZSim".

3. Copy the "QZSim" folder from this download into the game's folder.
   If Windows asks whether to merge folders or replace files, choose Yes.

   When you are done, the folder QZSim\Binaries\Win64 contains:
       winhttp.dll
       QuarantineZoneTrainer   (folder)

4. Start the game, continue or start a game, and press F1.

Updating from an older version: do the same and replace the files.

(Esc cancels). "Hotkeys: On/Off" at the top switches the feature keys off.
Switches start off each time the game starts. Keys are saved in
QuarantineZoneTrainer\QuarantineZoneTrainer.ini.


GOOD TO KNOW
------------
- Back up your saves first. Money, research points and everything from
  Unlock All are kept by the game's autosave at the start of the next day.
  Saves: %LOCALAPPDATA%\QZSim\Saved\SaveGames
- Unlock All -> Tools gives the tools of the campaign you are playing
  (the Miami DLC has its own). The dog's tool comes once the dog has joined
  you. If your tool wheel has tools that do not work there, the trainer
  offers a Remove button for a few seconds.
- Cheats can unlock Steam achievements early.
- The game sends crash reports to its developers. If the game crashes while
  the trainer is installed, please report it on the trainer's Nexus page,
  not to the game's developers.


HOW TO UNINSTALL
----------------
Close the game, then delete these two from QZSim\Binaries\Win64:
    winhttp.dll and QuarantineZoneTrainer (the whole folder)
The trainer does not change any game files.


TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
- F1 does nothing: check that winhttp.dll and the QuarantineZoneTrainer
  folder are both in QZSim\Binaries\Win64 (next to
  QZSim-Win64-Shipping.exe), not in the game's main folder.
- "New game version": the game was updated after this trainer. It reads
  what it needs from the game's own files, so it should keep working;
  anything it still cannot find is greyed out.
- The panel does not show or flickers: turn off frame generation in the
  game's graphics settings.
- Antivirus removed a file: this is a false positive. Add the game folder
  as an exception and copy the file again. The trainer does not connect
  to the internet and only runs inside the game.
- When reporting a problem, include QuarantineZoneTrainer.log from the
  QuarantineZoneTrainer folder.
