Installation:

For hpb07sp.zip : Use winzip to "extract" to c:\  (this will only work if you installed Quake III Arena into the default directory, C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena ).

For hpb07.zip :  Unzip the .zip file into your Quake 3 directory.  ( ex: C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena )  Winzip should work fine, just open the .zip file and "Extract" to "c:\Program Files\Quake III Arena" (without using quotes).
 

Usage:

For hpb07sp.zip:  Use the "HPB Quake" shortcut that appears on the desktop.

For hpb07.zip:  You can either go into your Quake 3 directory and run the cbq.bat by clicking on it, OR (if you are using the MS-DOS prompt,) you can either type "quake3 +set fs_game hpb +set sv_pure 0" or type "hpb" (without the quotes).
 

Description: HPB Quake changes Quake III Arena to place emphasis on the ping-friendliest aspects of the game.  In particular, the Railgun, Lightning gun, and Gauntlet are removed from play, and players now get unlimited Machinegun ammo.  Several small details have been tweaked too, including the scoring.
 

"What does HPB stand for?" you ask.  Although many interpretations of this acronym have been made, the general consensus is that the first two words are High Ping.  I'll let you use your imagination to do the rest.
