QuakeC Freeze Gun       by Simon Francis  sjfranci@csm.uwe.ac.uk

  This is my first Quake C patch, I was just messing around so don't mail me
complaints about it being lame.

What it does:
=============
  
  This patch adds an extra weapon that comes with the grenade launcher.  Select
the grenade launcher then press 6 again for the freeze gun.  Any monster that 
is hit will stop moving for about 10 seconds or until it next takes damage.
This works by setting a time delay for the creatures next instruction, for
this reason it doesn't work on other players.  It costs 1 rocket to fire the
freeze gun.


How to install it:
==================

  To run this patch make a new sub-directory under quake called, for example,
freeze.  Unzip freeze.zip into this directory.  From dos type:
pkunzip -d freeze.zip freeze

  Some of the files need to be in special subdirectories.  If after unzipping
the directories freeze\progs and freeze\sound don't exist, make them.  Put
the .mdl files in the progs directory and the .wav files in the sound directory.

  Then go the quake directory and type: quake -game freeze


Other stuff:  
============
  
  Feel free to improve on my code, distribute this patch, etc.

  This patch contains two different sounds and two differently textured 
models.

  For some reason occasionally quake will crash if you keep using the freeze
gun near one of the nuclear waste barrels.

  I learnt Quake-C by reading other peoples patches, mostly the flame
thrower by Quake Command (http:\\www.nuc.net/quake).  The Quake-C 
Specifications were also quite helpful.  If you are worked on either, thanks. 
  
  Thanks also to id.

  I haven't seen any other patches like this, but there may well be since its
quite easy to do.

  I didn't write this patch because of Duke Nukem's freeze thrower.  Duke's
OK, but Quake is better.

  Speaking of Duke, does anyone know how to stop it crashing with more than
three players over an ipx network?  The game hangs, one machine has to be
rebooted but the others can quit as normal.  

  For my 3rd (97/98) year at University I have to do a placement year, any
offers would be appreciated.  My course is BSc Computing and my email 
address is at the top of this file.


  I don't except any responsibility for anything bad that this patch does.
Or anything you do with.  If you like it and want to email me, feel free.
If you don't like, just delete it.
