* Installation *

Unzip into quake\balance
Run Quake -game balance
DeathMatch On!

* Information *

This mod changes Quake's scoring system, to make more weapons than the RL and shaft useful.
You now get different numbers of frags based on the difficulty of the kill:

Axe	= 10	frags
Shotgun	= 7	frags
SuperSG	= 5	frags
NailGun	= 5	frags
SuperNG	= 3	frags
Grenade	= 2	frags
Rocket	= 1	frag
Shaft	= 1	frag

I've also been thinking of making the explosives do full damage to the player firing them, like
in DOOM, unlike normal Quake where you only take half damage. Mail me and tell me whether this
would be a good idea.

This is v.5 Beta; it has not actually been tested in a DM, since I've not got a LAN full o' Quake
Lovin' friends ( they're all Duck F*ckem fans...).

Please try this on a LAN, or an Internet server, and mail me and tell me if it actually changes
the way the game is played, your comments, suggestions, ideas etc. If your 'Net server is located
in Sweden or Scandinavia, tell me so I can come and play!
Also, a QW version will (probably) be out soon (Hopefully)!
