Message-ID:

Yes, another small text patch and the weekly :) update of my combi patch

Quake Plus are now on ftp.cdrom.com in the newstuff directory and will

be in quakec/misc soon. They feature:

* Quake Speed Patch 1.0 *

This patch changes the players speed depending on his health condition

and carried weight, so wounded and overloaded player will slow down! Yes,

thats realism for you, no longer carrying all weapons around running at

full speed :). This is ideal for Team and Coop to create player classes

because you _really_ have to specialize on a weapon!

* Quake Plus 1.3 *
