You know the movie Predator with Arnold ? This add-on is an attempt to

implement the idea of having players become invisible at will to hunt other

players down or to escape from the fire of too powerful opponents.

Time of being invis is variable. To avoid having players being invis most of

the time, the invis-engine has to recharge as long as it has been used.

You may find Predator at:

or any other dir below quakec, where it may have moved.
