* Play Information *

The point of Above and Beyond (AaB) is to have a game that is based on a lot
of skill and a little luck.  Instead of running around the levels blowing
the other players to gibblets, in AaB you hunt the other players and knock
them off of the platforms and walkways into oblivion below.  When you die,
you become an observer until there is only one person left alive.  That
person is considered the winner of the contest.  The winner recieves the
number of points equal to the number of clients in the server.  When you
kill someone by knocking them off, you recieve one point.  The overall winner
at the end of the level is the person with the highest score.

As of this first release, there are two weapons in AaB.  The first, and
primary weapon, is the Airgun.  This weapon is used to knock people off of
the walkways into the lava, or space below.  The weapon fires bursts of air
(similar to the railgun) that can move people either a little ways or a long
ways.  To move them farther, you charge the weapon by holding down the fire
button.  To fire, just release the button.  You can charge the weapon for
about six seconds before it blows up in your face.  The explosion will knock
you backwards by quite a bit (dropping you into the lava sometimes).  The
charge of the weapon can be seen under the score in the upper-right hand
corner of the HUD.  At the charge of 60 is explodes, so be careful.

The secondary weapon is the Biohazard Concussion Missile Launcher (BCML).
Essentially the BCML missile will make a person "drunk".  Their movement is
not going to be what they want it to be.  Just hit yourself with it and find
out :).  Anyone within the radius of the BCML's explosion becomes concussed.
They stay in this state for around 40 seconds.  The radius of the BCML is
roughly two times the radius of a rocket's explosion.  Everyone has 1 BCML
rocket when the spawn into a server, or contest.

* Other Info *

Client Commands:
        use airgun      selects the Airgun (default bind is 1)
        use concussion  selects the BCML (default bind is 7)
        cmd aab_help    brings up a help screen (defualt bind is h)

Server Commands:
        servermessage   Set to 1 or 0.  When set to 1 it prints out debug
                        information.  If you have a server crash, set this
                        to 1 then rerun the server.  If the crash appears
                        again, note down the last line that was printed to
                        the screen and contact the coders.  We'll then fix
                        the bug and release the new version.
