There is a new, permament server available for DM play in LA.

It is at 206.117.28.88. The machine is a PPro 200 located on a T3 link.

The server features several additions that make it more fun than standard DM -

1) player pushing. you can push other players. mmmmm .... lava ....

2) recoil. all weapons have recoil, particularly the RL and super nail gun.

3) smart weapon change. if you frag some guy who had an RL and instantly

get his weapon, the program won't auto-select it if you're likely to

blow yourself to smithereens against the nearest wall.

4) Drunk Missile. not the same as the patch by that name ; this weapon

has a rapid fire rate and will make the victim drunk for 30 seconds.

5) shambler slinger. if you have a RL and 25 rockets, you can fire a

shambler. this missile (!) will cause 10,000 damage at its impact point.

6) firewall.

7) weldgun.

8) gibgun. if it hits the victim, a rotating dart embeds in them, causing

massive damage before exploding.

9) carnage ! every 10 minutes, all players get quad damage for 45 seconds.

even if you get fragged, you still get the quad back ! the result is,

well, ... carnage :)

10) dobie-o-matic. the RL can fire dogs. no different to normal rockets,

but a bit of a change if you're bored.

to learn how to use the weapons, type help-weapons at the console.
