Do not delete 'patch.com', the 'pmaster' directory or the 'prevlev' directory
or anything inside it.

I take absolutely no responsibility for anything this utility does to Quake
you or your computer, use it at your own risk. Do what you want with it.

    Description of the utility     
ͼ
Patchmaster is merely a useful little program which makes loading all of your
latest patches for Quake really easy, it also has previous level support.
Usually when you wish to play a patched version of Quake, you may have to type
something like the following :-

quake -game requiem +map dwang4m8 -listen 16 -nocdaudio etc

This patch does most of the typing for you, it also remembers which level you
played last.

ͻ
      How to use this utility      
ͼ
Simply type patch 'game' 'level' 'other params'

game=name of the patch directory, i.e for 'requiem'
(c:\quake\requiem should exist)

level=name of map in id1\maps directory omitting the .bsp extension of course

other params=as per usual, i.e '-winmem 11' etc

If you specify an invalid game or PatchMaster installation is corrupted, you
will be informed.
If you do not specify a level, merely a patch name.(patch <game>) then the
last level you played using PatchMaster will be played again with the
specified patch.
If you specify the level as 'none', no level will be loaded.

The default parameters are -listen 16 and -nocdaudio as these are the most
commonly used in addon patches. The -nocdaudio param still allows cd audio
but does not give quake control of the track changing. Try it.

  How to Install this utility      
ͼ
Simply unzip the zip file directly into the Quake directory (NOT a
subdirectory) like so:-

pkunzip !pmaster.zip /d

Remember to include the /d command (restores subdirectories)
