Tim's Deathbed Quake II Mod 1.0 alpha
=====================================

IMPORTANT: READ THIS!
====================

By using this software on your computer you are agreeing that Timothy Aidley cannot be held responsible for any damages of any kind to your computer, yourself, or anybody or anything else that results from using this software. I make no claim that this software is good for anthing at all. YOU USE THIS SOFTWARE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.



Intro:
======

This is my first attempt at writing a mod, and it makes people wave/salute/give the finger etc. just before they die (Their 'deathbed' speech...). It will only work if the person playing the server runs the mod. I may try and get it to do it on the client side sometime, but I don't really know if it's possible. It's alpha because it's not been extensivley tested yet, but that should change once we've had a few office deathmatches with it...


Security:
=========

Dlls are capabable of doing pretty much anything to your computer. As far as I know this software does not erase your hard drive, shoot your cat or let all the air out of your tyres, but your never know. It might. 

Therefore I've included the altered source files and the corresponding diff files, to make it easier to scan the source for naughty bits. If you're sensible you'll compile all quake .dlls yourself (after having checked the source) or get some other trusted party to do it for you. The OpenQuake (http://openquake.geek.net/) people are looking to set some kind of system up for this. If you are worried about using this .dll, check for news of it on Blue's or PlanetQuake or something until someone well-known in the Quake community has checked it over first. Then enjoy!


Copyright
=========

Well, most of the source here is all the intellectual property of id software, but seeing as I'm making no wonga out of it, I think I'm allowed to distribute this. (If my interpretation of the User License is correct) It's possible that the modifications that I made are copyright Tim Aidley, but I'm not really sure about that so I won't labour the point. Anyway, it's not as if any of the changes i made are Rocket Science, so I'm not too bothered about it.


Usage:
======

1)   Get hold of the .dll somehow. Either use the one I've compiled, or use one that someone you trust has compiled for you.

2)   Make a sub-directory of your Quake2 directory called something like 'deathbed'

3)   Copy the gamex86.dll into it.

4)   Run Quake2 with the command line parameters...:

           quake2 +set game "deathbed"

5)   Have fun ;-) Remember - it'll only work if the sever is running the mod.
