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:



ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/quake/quakec/deathmatch/predator.zip ,



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



The archive comes with the source, finally. This means, I feel like there


is nothing that I'll change anymore. Feel free to use it for your own


mods (within limitations). Let me know if DDM makes it into your code.
