Message-ID:

I have created a new Quake C modification to change DeathMatch Quake. I

am constantly updating it. The current version, 0.1, can be found at:

http://www.songbird.demon.co.uk/DMQuakeC/index.html

Version 0.1 contains:

* Shotguns fire more bullets in a wider area, e.g

instead of ***

it is ***************

* Maximum 15 rockets and grenade/rocket launchers only contain 2,

explosions are twice as powerful, and every rocket shot costs you 5

health point

* Crucified zombies are gib-able (from patch by Vhold)

* MultiSkin 1.1 (by Dennis Noordsij)

* Cheat codes changed...

* Player gibs at minus 10 health points instead of minus 40 and throw

twice as many gibs.

* 5 second invincibility after coming alive

Coming soon (hopefully):

* Added weapons such as enforcer's laser, homing rockets, and nail-

firing grenades

* Homing missiles that spawn in random places

Any DM servers may freely use the code, but please mail me if you make

any changes or want to suggest an idea.
