Description of the Modification
-------------------------------

Want to get rid of ambushes? Want to ambush in water and know exactly when to
attack without being discovered? Use the tracer. Just press T and a tracer
is shot. When it hits a monster or player, it sticks to it/him/her and starts
to beep, and by the strength of the sound you can evaluate the distance to.
Ambush underwater, and when you hear the beep up close, you blast the
motherfunker out of existence!


How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------

Very simple:
1.  Create a directory named TRACER under your QUAKE directory by typing:

   MD TRACER

   when in your QUAKE directory.

2.  Unzip the files in the archive into that directory with your favorite
   unzipping software. Make sure you unzip with subdirectories. If you use 
   PKUNZIP just type:

   PKUNZIP TRACER.ZIP TRACER -d

   again, in your QUAKE directory.

3.  Copy all the .QC and .SRC files from Quake C into the TRACER\SRC directory,
   excpet for WEAPONS.QC . You can get Quake C in the archive named QCC.ZIP, on
   www.stomped.com, ftp.stomped.com or ftp.cdrom.com .

4.  Compile the QC files by typing:

   ..\..\QUAKEC\QCCDOS.EXE

   Given that you put the QCCDOS.EXE from QCC.ZIP in the directory named
   QUAKEC under your QUAKE directory. Otherwise, type in the path to it.

5.  Run Quake like this:

   QUAKE.EXE -game TRACER

6.  In Quake, use T to launch a tracer.

Homing Sticking Missiles -  Stick up your enemy's butt and explode a while
                           later.
                           (HOMSTICK.ZIP)

Lava Gun                 -  Rapidly shoots lava, which eventually splashes
                           spectacularly. Kinda like Doom's plasma gun.
                           (LAVAGUN.ZIP)

Proximity mines          -  Better than n-tropy's mines. Explode when
                           detecting anyone in range.
                           (PROXMINE.ZIP)

Power Axe                -  Nearly everyone made this one... An axe that
                           electrecutes upon contact with flesh, stone or
                           metal.
