[ trim followups accordingly - mod ]

I started a list of all used impulse numbers I could find, mostly from

ftp.cdrom.com.

Players: I hope to have the impulses of most every weapon available

registered in my list, so if you have a few extra impulses and

you want to fill them, check my page. Hopefully server

opperators will keep thier server impulses current with the

list, so you won't need a different keymapping for every

server.

Developers: I would encourage all QuakeC developers that use impulses

to check it out and use either an unused number, or a number

that already contains functions similar to the one they plan

to implement (i.e. if you want to make a better backpack

tossing function, use impulse 20). I also encourage you to

e-mail me with the impulses you use, what they do, and where

to get the .zips and .txts. Also I encourage distribution in

code format, as There are potential security risks in using

pre-compiled progs.dat (see the link on my page).

Server operators: Try to use the impulses registered on my list on

your server to make it easier on your users. Also read the

warning about progs.dat at the top of the page.

note: The page may not be updated yet, as my ISP is upgrading thier

FTP server, and has cut off all user access, wich is the only way to

update web pages (should be/better be up by 08/08/96)
