Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
Quake 2 Plus is a compilation of some Quake 2 enhancements and creates
a slightly more realistic and consistent future space marine scenario! 

Feature summary:
----------------
act, silent blaster, reflecting beams, homing rockets, shootable 
proxgrenades, pulserifle, plasmarifle, no jumpsound, no flies
 
Features:
---------
* pressing "act" touching items gets them
  (no more wasting of health or ammo by accidently taking it)

* pressing "act" touching buttons activates them
  (move forward while pressing to make sure you really touch)

* the Blaster silently fires beams
  (regards to LM_Jormungard, SumFuka and WonderSlug)

* the Machinegun is turned into a Pulserifle
  (without the kickback raise and with the cool sound)

* the Handgrenades act as shootable sticking Proxgrenades
  (regards to Chris Hilton and Joel Skrepnek)

* the Rocketlauncher fires homing rockets
  (regards to Chris Hilton)

* the Hyperblaster is turned into a Plasmarifle
  (firing beams that are occasionally reflected)

* no jump sound (why should a marine groan so loud each time)

* no flies (why should there be flies at all on an alien world)

How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Create a directory named Q2Plus in your registered Quake 2 directory, 
unzip the archive with the directory structure restored into it, then
start playing Quake 2 Plus with: Quake2 -game Q2Plus

When using the patch on level addons presented as pak files make sure
that there are no overlapping resources like gamex86.dll in the pak!

Don't forget to bind a key to "act"!

Technical Details
