What it is:

Ok this is just a really simple mod i made in like 20 min, 
it just modifies each weapon, some modifications are harder 2
notice since they have more 2 do with damage, and movement 
than anything else.  I have not tested it in multiplayer
but it works great in single player!

Why i made it:

I made it after playing quake2 deciding i wanted 2 see a few 
changes.  The first change i made which i know many people wont like
is, i lowered the splash damage done to yourself, i feel this 
makes the rocket launcher more like the one from Quake1, playing wise.
All the other changes u'll have 2 find on your own! :-)

INSTALLATION

Ok first make a backup copy of your gamex86.dll, and whatever you do 
do NOT overwrite it! Ok now that you have a spare backup version of gamex86.dll
in a separate directory, put the one in the zip file into your baseq2 dir, it will
overwrite the one alreayd in there, but you will have a backup copy so no harm done.
I kno there is another way to possible run this mod, which is safer for those who
dont really know what their doin
you can make a new directory in your quake2 dir, call it whatever you want, then drop
to dos, and in the quake2 dir type "quake2 +set game 'directory' " so far however
i have not been able 2 get this 2 work. =(
