INTRODUCTION
    Welcome to Ultimate Quake (apologies to Id, I hope they didn't
plan on using that title- if so, PLEASE DON'T SUE ME!!!).  Okay, now
that the legal crap is done:
    This is my first Quake project.  I've done Aliens Doom 3: Aliens
vs. Predator, Marines Doom, and Insane Weapons 1, 2 and 3, all of which
were total conversions.  When Duke 3D came out I was thoroughly
impressed with all the new features as well as the nice little things- the
details.  When Quake came out, I was impressed with the look and feel,
but extremely disappointed in the lack of details (no ducking, no rotating
sectors, no colored light, no bubbles while swimming, no swimming
animation, no bloody footprints, nothing but the player went through
teleporters, no way to fly, no inventory, no cool little gadgets, no really
creative weapons, etc.)  Ultimate Quake is an attempt to enhance the
gameplay in Quake and to add some new weapons/weapon modes as well
as a magic system.  What you see here is the product of three weeks'
work.  I started by combining patches I found at ftp.cdrom.com, but soon
found that others had already begun to release combo and compilation
patches.  I wanted to do something more since it seemed that many of
these patches were of more academic interest than really practical.  I
downloaded combinations by Godel, Das, and Skar and took a look at how
they were put together.  Since I am not a programmer of any kind, I had a
lot to learn.  After screwing around a bit and doing a lot of cutting and
pasting, I started to learn what I was doing.  In the end, I pretty much tore
up all the patches I had and started from scratch.
    I had a big problem with space, however.  For some reason, which
I have yet to resolve, Quake seems to have a size limit on it's code.
Again, since I'm not a programmer by trade (actually, I'm a filmmaker), I
don't know if this is standard or if it's something easily fixable.  If it is
fixable, I'd appreciate a C programmer out there who might be reading
this and let me know just how.  I could put in a lot more cool stuff, plus I
could put back in the spawn, rotfish, Chtonn and Shub-Niggurath, all of
which I had to remove to make room for my additions.  That's the main
thing that makes this release incomplete.  Obviously, I'd like to be able to
have all the monsters in as well as other improvements.  As it is, I've had
to compress the Hell out of the code by combining many different routines
that were similar and have them perform differently depending on what
information was passed to the function (for instance, the launch_spike
function is used by the nail gun, super nailgun, Hell Knight, Scrag, and
spike traps as well as the "reflective shield" spell.)  As a result, the code is
more efficient (in terms of size, I'm not sure about speed), but much less
modular, and impossible to cut and paste into another compilation.  I have
taken some routines from other people's patches, but much of the code is
original or "inspired" by other patches.  Anyone who's work who still
appears here in it's original form or modified is listed in the credits at the
end of this file.
    I would appreciate any bug reports or suggestions or help
(especially concerning the size limit).  My e-mail address is:

ENJOY!

MISCELLANEOUS ENHANCEMENTS
    Here is a list of some changes that don't merit an entire section of
their own:

Running- When running, you can hear your footsteps.
Ducking- You can now duck down to hide behind things and crawl
    around.  When crawling,     your run slower and your footsteps
    are not audible.  I'd like to get some better poses for the crawling,
    as it is now, he looks like he's breakdancing!
Falling- Falling now follows a more realistic physical model.  When you
    fall, you accelerate until you reach a terminal velocity (if you
    reach that velocity, you're pretty much dogmeat).  When you
    impact, you take damage depending on how fast you were falling
    and your mass.  Your mass can be increased by the Increase Mass
    spell, or eliminated by the Levitation spell.  If you duck just before
    you impact, you can absorb some of the damage (kind of like
    rolling with it).  Also, falling in deep water absorbs the shock of
    the fall (but not shallow water).
Pushing- You can push any corpse, exploding box, head, charmed monster
    that you control, or anyone who's been turned to stone.  Corpses
    and heads can be stacked.
Kicking- You can kick stuff that you're touching.  This does a small
    amount of damage, less to monsters under your control, and none
    to heads (so you can kick them around all you want).
Jumping- You can jump on top of monsters, players, corpses, and heads.
    You can also walk on top of them and jump off of them.
Corpses and Heads- are now solid and can be pushed, shot, kicked,
    gibbed, jumped on, walked on, stacked, etc.  They also float if in
    water and bob and drift.  They will eventually decompose after a
    short time.  They can activate buttons and pressure plates as well
    (kick a head at a button you can't reach, or push a corpse onto a
    pressure plate that looks like a trap.)
Feigning- This is a cool patch I found that allows you to lie down and play
    dead.  It even throws     an empty backpack.  You cannot move or
    cast spells or fire a gun while feigning.  You can look around, but
    when you do, your body turns- so don't move if someone's
    looking!
Melee Wounds- Now when a wound is received in melee battle (that is,
    from an axe, sword, chainsaw, or claws), that would will
    occasionally continue to bleed.  If the bloodloss drops the monster
    or player's health to zero, they will die.  Health boxes and healing
    spells close these wounds.  A side effect I didn't plan is that a
    charmed monster who bleeds to death may turn on you just before
    it dies- maybe it comes to it's senses or something, anyway, it's
    kind of cool.
Bubbles- All monsters and the player will bubble when under water.  The
    only exception is that players who are being affected by an
    Amphibian spell or Fish Out of Water spell will not make bubbles.
    Bubbles also will not go through solid stuff as they previously
    would.
Backpacks- You can throw a partial or full backpack ("Y" throws a full
    one, "U" throws a small one).  If an Ogre walks over your
    backpack, he will only take the rockets and the backpack will
    remain if there is other ammo in it.  In co-op and teamplay, this
    can be a nice way to trade stuff and help allies.  In deathmatch,
    maybe using this can     persuade a player who's tagged you with a
    pipe bomb to spare your miserable hide, but     don't bet on it.  I say
    use the Tele-Eye if you have one set, use a Protection From
    Explosions spell, or, as a last resort, blow him away and take the
    punishment when his     pipe bomb explodes as he dies (see the
    weapons and spells sections to see what I'm     babbling about).
Teleports and Wind Tunnels- Most anything will go through wind tunnels
    and teleporters now.    (Sometimes, rockets may go too fast to go
    through).

Monsters- Here is a list of changes to monsters:
        Ogres, Grunts and Enforcer's backpacks now reflect how much
        ammo they have used in attacking you.  This means they may
        throw an empty backpack.
        When Ogres run out of ammo, they will use the chainsaw until
        they pick up more rockets (which they can do- either from ammo
        boxes or backpacks).  This is a good way to give a charmed or
        summoned ogre more ammo if you use the throw partial/full
        backpack function.
        Demons and Ogres will sometimes chop up a corpse if it blocks
        their way.
    All monsters will try to float to the top if they fall in water.
     The Ogre's aim is much better and accounts for height differences.

WEAPONS
    The changes to the weapons used to be more drastic, but they
weren't really useful.  So I've trimmed it down to the weapon mods that I
used most while playtesting.  Here they are.  All the alternate modes can
be accessed by pressing the weapon's number repeatedly (see the
keyboard commands section for more details).

Axe- Now has a melee mode and throwing mode.  The melee mode is the
        same as the original axe, except that it can cause melee wounds
        (see the miscellaneous Enhancements section).  The throwing axe
        is a modification of a great patch I found.  In it, you could
        throw an axe and when it hit, it would fall to the floor.  You
        could get as many as 100 of these axes.  In my patch, the axe
        glows and is on fire.  When it hits, it knocks the target backward,
        and sets them on fire.  After hitting, the axe returns to you.
        If it can't find you, it falls to the ground.  If you can't find it,
        but you're within sight of it, it will glow and hum and you'll get
        a message telling you it's beckoning you.  Also, you only get one axe.  When you throw it,
        you can't use the axe and it switches to the shotgun.  However, if
        you pick up another players, you can throw 2 before you switch to
        the shotgun.  Conversely, if another player finds yours, it's gone
        for good.  Occasionally, you won't be able to find the axe but
        you'll keep getting the "beckoning" messages.  In this case, after
        33 messages, the axe magically returns to you.
Shotgun- It has a secondary mode which functions mainly as a sniping
        rifle.  In this mode, you can peg someone from a great distance
        with accuracy and quite a bit of damage.  This works very well
        with the F11 zoom-in mode.  Be warned, though, that the crosshair
        is a little off.  The true aim would be a little below and to the
        right of the crosshair.  (If you don't know already, you turn on the
        crosshair by typing "crosshair 1" at the console or putting the same
        command in your autoexec.cfg file).  Each shot requires 4 shells
        and there is a noticeable reload time.
Super Shotgun- no change, this is a well-balanced weapon as is.
Fireball Launcher- This is the new 4th weapon.  It uses 2 cells per shot and
        has a fairly short reload time.  This weapon fires a flaming ball of
        lava at your enemy.  If it misses, it sits on the ground and
        eventually explodes.  If it hits them, it sets them on fire for a
        short while and may kill them.  You get this weapon when you pick up
        the rocket launcher.
Nailgun/SuperNailgun- These are both in weapon position 5 now.  You
        simply toggle between them.  I haven't yet figured out how to
        move the nailgun picture on the status bar to the weapon 5
        position, but I plan to have the status bar picture toggle with the
        weapon.
Grenade Launcher- There are now two different types of grenades, regular
        ones and pipe bombs.  Pipe bombs are like those in Duke Nukem
        3D.  You throw it then set it off with the "["  key.  The "]" key will
        disarm the pipe bomb.  If you hit someone with a pipebomb
        directly, it will stick to them and you can set it off or disarm it as
        you please.  You can    pick up a disarmed pipebomb.  If, however,
        the pipe bomb you disarmed was on someone, the pipe bomb will
        disappear and reappear in your ammo inventory.  Note also that
        disarming a pipe bomb will disarm the nearest pipe bomb only, but
        detonating them will detonate all your pipe bombs at once.  When
        you die, all your pipebombs go off.
Rocket Launcher- There are four modes for the rocket launcher.  The first
        default mode is the normal mode.  The next mode is a rapid fire
        mode.  This will fire a maximum of 10 rockets in rapid succession.
        These will spread in a random manner, some of which may home
        in on a target.  Each of these rockets does about one fifth the
        damage of a normal rocket.  After firing 10, there is a two second
        reload time.  The third mode is spread mode.  This will fire five
        non-tracking rockets that spread in a random fashion all at one
        time.  Each one of these rockets does about one fifth the damage of
        a normal rocket.  The final mode is a homing rocket mode.  The
        homing rocket will lock in on a target and track in until it
        detonates.  If it doesn't hit a living target, it will attach to a
        wall and wait for a target to appear.  When one does, it will
        disengage from the wall and home in on that target.  Note also that
        if it's target dies before it gets there, the rocket will home in on
        the next target or attach to the wall/floor and wait for a target
        to appear.  If you don't want the rocket to sit around, you can
        detonate it with the same key as the pipe bomb detonation.  So when
        you set of pipe bombs, you'll set off the rockets, and vice versa.
        Each of these rockets does the same damage as a regular rocket but
        costs 10 rockets in ammo and has a noticeable reload time.
Thunderbolt/Laser Rifle- The Thunderbolt is the same, the only difference
        is the fact that when you fire into the water (as long as you're not
        IN the water), it will do damage to anyone in the water depending
        on how close they are to the point of the lightning's impact on the
        water.  The Laser Rifle is a great addition I found by Shyft.  I
        basically changed it so that it fires more rapidly, but that's about
        it (aside from condensing the code).  It's a great little rapid fire
        weapon, a good alternative to the Thunderbolt.

NOTE: I suggest you print out the next three sections for reference...

MAGIC & SPELLS
Magic
    The magic system I implemented works on a mana/experience
points system.  Each spell you cast requires that you have a certain amount
of mana.  There are nine spell levels, and five spells per level (for a total
of 45 spells).  Each spell requires a higher amount of mana that the
previous spell (there are some exceptions, these are noted in the spell
descriptions in the following section).  That amount of mana is deducted
from your mana when you cast the spell.  Your mana constantly
regenerates at a rate of 1 mana point a second.  Your maximum mana is
related to how many experience points you've accumulated.  You get
experience points for every time you damage or kill an enemy.  You also
get a bonus for gibbing the enemy.  Each of these values depends on the
difficulty level you're playing, the higher the skill level, the more
experience points you'll get for each hit, kill and gib.  If you're playing on
the lowest level, you get NO experience points (which means no magic).
You also get an experience point bonus for finding secrets.
    You can at any time show what spell you have selected, the spell
level and number, the amount of mana it needs, how much mana you
have, and how many experience points you have by pressing the "\" key
(again, see the keyboard commands section).
    You cycle through the spells with the "-" and "=" keys (plus and
minus on the main keyboard area), and cast the selected spell with
ENTER.
    The effects of the spells are normally temporary with the exception
of spells of this nature: healing/armor, summoning/charming/resurrecting,
dispelling, mass increasing, and suffocation.  (Also, the Dog's Day spell is
permanent on monsters, but lasts 2 minutes on players).
    For the charm and flesh to stone spells, there are three classes of
creatures that each level of the spell will effect.  These are:
Animal- rotfish, rottweilers, spawn and fiends.
Person- grunts, enforcers, knights, hell knights and players.
Monsters- This class includes the previous two classes as well as ogres,
scrags, zombies, vore and shamblers.
    There are also mass versions of this spell that will work on all
classes.  Note that the mass versions of these spells will work on as many
creatures that are in your line of sight, depending on your mana level and
the hitpoints of the effected targets.  Keep in mind, though, that you
cannot have more than 10 monsters under your control at once (either
through charming, summoning, or resurrecting).
    You start off with no experience points or mana, unless you're
playing Deathmatch.  In that case, you start off with 900000 experience
and full (900) mana.

Spells
    These are the spells by level and number:

Level 1
1.  Heal Light Wounds- Gives the caster about 25 points of health, to a
    maximum of 50 health points.  Also closes any bleeding melee
    wounds.
2.  Ironskin- Hardens your skin.  Equivalent to having about 100-class
    armor.
3.  Resist Fire- Makes you resistant to all fire and lava.
4.  Illumination- Will light up any target.  If it hits a moving creature, that
    creature will be lit.
5.  Flesh to Stone (animal)- Turns the flesh of any creature from the
    animal class to stone.

Level 2
1.  Dispel Magic- Will dispel any magic effects on yourself.
2.  Summon Scrags- Will summon one or two scrags to do your bidding.
    Each scrag requires 80 points of mana.
3.  Protection Against Explosions- Will protect the caster against any
    explosions (grenades, rockets, exploding boxes).
4.  Charm Animal- Will turn any animal to your will.
5.  Flesh to Stone (person)- Will the flesh of any creature from the person
    class to stone.

Level 3
1.  Heal Serious Wounds- Gives about 50 health to a maximum of 100
    health, and it closes any bleeding melee wounds.
2.  Levitation- Allows you to move freely to the air for thirty seconds.
3.  Doppleganger- This creates a magical illusion of yourself that you can
    leave behind.  You can see through it's eyes, make it feign death,
    and even explode.  If monsters see a Doppleganger and not you,
    they will attack the Doppleganger.  It will automatically
        explode then you die.  When one of these is active, your mana will
    not increase.  You cannot have a Doppleganger and a Tele-Eye
    active at the same time.
4.  Give Lifeforce- Use this on a charmed or summoned monster, or
    another player if you're in team play or co-op mode.  It will close
    their melee wounds and bring their health to your level.  As a
    result, you lose 10 points of health.
5.  Reflective Shield (target)- Will endow the target with a magical shield
    that will reflect or repel any projectile back at the creature who
    fired it.  Reflects bullets, nails, rockets, lasers, lightning and
    wizard and hell knight magical attacks.  Repels (meaning they
        bounce off, but in no particular direction) grenades, fireballs,
    zombie gibs, etc.  This is also a good spell to cast on allies or
    summoned/charmed creatures.

Level 4
1.  Spell of Shadows-  Like the Ring of Shadows, renders you invisible for
    90 seconds, except for a pair of eyes.
2.  Unlock Door-  Target a Door in your crosshair and cast this spell.  It
    will open any door that requires a key.
3.  Quad Damage-  Quadruples the damage your actions do.
4.  Mind Shove- Telekinetically pushes your opponent away from you
    with great force.
5.  Irresistible Attraction- Telekinetically pulls your opponent towards
    you.

Level 5
1.  Amphibian- This spell allows you to breathe normally underwater for
    10 minutes.
2.  Summon Ogre- Calls forth from the Doomed Dimension an Ogre to do
    your bidding.
3.  Dog's Day- Turns your enemy into a rottweiler.  Is permanent for
    monsters, but only lasts 2 minutes on a player.
4.  Charm Person- Bends any person's will to your own.
5.  Increase Mass-  Stops flying and swimming monsters from leaving the
    ground.  Makes players run slower and hit harder when he falls.
    Will also make it harder for him to swim upwards and he will not
    be able to jump as high (if at all).

Level 6
1.  Heal Grievous Wounds- Gives the caster about 100 points of health, to
    a maximum of  200.  Also closes any bleeding melee wounds.
2.  Reflective Shield (self)- Endows the caster with a reflective shield.
3.  Protection From Magic- This makes the caster unable to be hit by
    magical spells.
4.  Fish Out of Water- Renders the target unable to breathe unless
    underwater.
5.  Flesh to Stone (monster)- Will turn any creature's flesh to stone.

Level 7
1.  Tele-Eyes- Places a set of magic floating eyes that you can look
    through at any time.  You can also teleport back to their position
    once.  But if they're killed, you die.  You cannot have Tele-Eyes
    and a Doppleganger active at the same time.
2.  Summon Fiend- Calls forth a fiend to do your bidding.
3.  Invisible Death Barrier- Cast it and step away quickly- the spot you
    were standing in will become deadly to anything that passes
    through it.
4.  Feeblemind- Renders the target incapable of casting any magic (also
    stops scrags and hell knights from launching magical attacks).
5.  Charm Monster- Will convert any creature to your will.

Level 8
1.  Summon Vore- Will call forth a Vore to slay your foes.
2.  Medusa's Gaze- Will turn any creature's flesh to stone that can see
    you.
3.  Path of the Archvile- For thirty seconds, any dead monster you walk
    over will come back to life and be under your control.
4.  Suffocation- Renders the target player unable to breathe.
5.  Wrath of the Archvile- Like to insidious Archvile of lore, this attack
        sets your enemy afire and blasts him up into the air.  A second,
        more devastating explosion may tear them apart (depending on
        their hitpoints).

Level 9
1.  Summon Shambler- Will bring forth a Shambler to smash your
        enemies.
2.  Power Word, Kill- With this spell, you utter the sacred word and all
        enemies in your sight will be destroyed (depending on your mana
        and their hitpoints).
3.  Mass Charm- Will charm every creature within sight (maximum of ten,
        also depending on your mana and their hitpoints).
4.  Meteor Storm- Casts five highly deadly fireballs at your target.
5.  Lightning Summoning- Will call down lightning on your enemies.  You
        will glow with holy light for as long as the spell lasts.

MULTISKINS
        First of all, you need to have 16MB of RAM to use these.  You can
still play without them, just delete the player.mdl file from the progs
subdirectory in the directory you install this in.
    I'm not sure who originally came up with this idea, many people
concurrently, I'm sure.  The ones I've put together were culled from
several different ones, I tried to pick ones that fit into the theme and the
feel of the game as well as possible (that means no Homer Simpson or
obviously drawn skin textures).
    I have included 24 skins with my patch (and a 25th used for the
Flesh to Stone spell).  You change them by using "<" and ">".  You will
get a message telling you the number of the skin you have selected.  It
doesn't tell you the name due to the severe size limitation I mentioned in
the Introduction (believe me, I couldn't squeeze another letter in there!)
    If you want to see the skin, you can set a Doppleganger (hologram)
or Tele-Eye and use
it to look at yourself (see the Spells section).  Also, when you set a
Doppleganger, it will have
the same skin you had when you set it (great strategic possibilities).
    Here's a list of the skins by number:
    (The only ones I made are #'s 1, 20, and 25)
Skin#    Name            Description
1.    Gummelt Quake    Regular Quake guy, but with a new face
                (mine).
2.     Jaworski        A friend of mine I just had to put in.
3.    Lizard            A lizard with green skin and red eyes, pretty
                cool.
4.    Knight in Shining
        Armor        For the player that has no need to hide.
5.    Quake Knight        The Quake monster knight skin.
6.     Terminator        Just that- a great skin.  I'd like to see an
                endoskeleton, though!
7.     Punisher        Another nice skin- fits in well.
8.     Ninja            Great for hiding in dark spots.
9.    Biosuit            This is the biosuit skin texture.  When you
                pick up the biosuit, you will automatically
                switch to this skin, then back to your old
                one when the suit runs out.
10.     BioRed                  A modification of the biosuit that has a red
                torso.
11.    Predator        Just what it says- another great skin.  You
                can change the skin color of the Predator
                like you would the normal Quake skin pants
                and shirt.
12.    Judge Dredd        It sounds corny, but it's actually a great-
                looking skin.  Whoever digitized it did a
                great job!
13.    Quake Hell Knight    The Quake monster hell knight skin.
14.    Henry Rollins        Well, that's what the text file says.  Looks
                cool, though.
15.    Bosk            From Star Wars, a great looking skin (just
                not very inconspicuous!)
16.    Dead Player        Just that- the regular Quake Dude all jacked
                up.
17.    Camouflage        A skin that blends in pretty well, especially
                on the ground.
18.     Zombie                  The Quake monster zombie skin.
19.    Skeleton        A nice looking skin that works even though
                it's got a slight Halloween costume feel to
                it.
20.    Talon            My original skin- the Tiger man!
21.    Duke Nukem        Duke it out between Mr. Quake an Duke
                (for you Duke Lovers out there, like me!)
22.    Boba Fett        Another Star Wars skin, again extremely
                nicely done.
23.     Dark Storm Trooper    A storm trooper, but with more of a light
                gray armor than white- looks more realistic,
                doesn't stick out as much.
24.    Han Solo        Yet another Star Wars skin, but it fits in
                pretty well.
25.    Stoned            This is the skin you get when you're turned
                to stone.  It's just a gray-scale version of the
                original Quake Dude.  You can't select
                this skin to play with.
    There were some other skins that looked nice but didn't quite fit in
(like Captain Picard- although a Klingon in his warrior's outfit would be
awesome!).   I also would like to eventually make 25 skins for the gibbed
player's head so that it will look like the guy it came from.  As it is now,
it just reverts back to the old Quake guy's head.
    The one other modification I'd like to make it to have the skin
you've selected appear on the Multiplayer Setup screen so you can see
what it looks like as you cycle through the colors.  As it is, you can only
do this while actually in the game using Tele-Eyes or a Doppleganger.

KEYBOARD COMMANDS
    You can change these as you like either through your options menu
in Quake and/or in your config.cfg file.  I recommend this setup since it
feels most natural.  I also use the mouse/keyboard combination since my
friend destroyed my Suncom 2000 EFX gamepad (the best gamepad ever
made, by the way, fully keyboard programmable, with 4 programming
presets, ten times better than the GRiP system).  But you don't need me
telling you how to play!  Just take a look at this and change it if it doesn't
work for you.

NOTE:  The only bug I know of that causes a crash is the cycle weapon

INSTALLATION
    As easy as can be.  Just make a directory with a name of your
choice in your Quake directory.  Then put the UltQuake.zip file in that
directory and unzip it using pkunzip with the -d option (or just use
WinZip).  It should make the directories progs and sounds\weapons.
    Unfortunately, this .zip file is pretty large (about 1.8 MB) since I
had to include all the monster models and the player model with 25 skins.
If there was a way to just put the skins into the .zip and apply them to the
models during installation, I'd do it, but I don't know of any such utility
just yet.  If you don't want the extra skins and the stone look for the Flesh
to Stone spell, you can just download the UltQmin.zip (446 K).  I've
included the dog.mdl in this smaller file so you can see what it looks like
when you turn a monster to stone with the new skins (just use the Flesh to
Stone (animal) spell on a dog to see).  In case you change your mind, you
can download the stuff you missed, download the UltQmdl.zip (1.37 MB)
file.  You can also use this method if you want do download it in disk-size
bits.
    When you start the game, type "quake -game xxxx", "xxxx" being
the name of the directory you unzipped this stuff in.  That's all!  Be sure to
check out the Keyboard Commands.

CREDITS
    First, I'd like to thank Jeff Epler <[e-mail]> for his
howpatch.txt file at ftp.cdrom.com, without it, I never would have gotten
started or even known the first step on how to patch, much less even
where to find the files I'd need.  I used qccdos and  meddle15 (I got
QuakeME, it looks great, but I couldn't get it to look at a model with more
than one skin- crash city).

qccdos
    By John Carmack (I'm not sure who did the DOS conversion, if
    not John)

Here are some people who's patches I used, modified or was inspired by:

NezuCam by: Nezu
    I took a couple routines from this and modified it so you can now
    look through the eyes of the Doppleganger and Tele-Eye.
Fiegn by: Isaac Lauer (email: [e-mail])
    Nice code, if a little iineffecient (which Isaac admitted was on
        purpose to make it more    modular).
HoloGram and shotgun shells by: Perecli Manole AKA Bort
    The shotgun shells code is unmodified, but I made the hologram
    capable of feigning (mixing in Isaac Lauer's code), being used as a
    camera (using Nezu's code), exploding, and being attacked by
    monsters (both my code).
Laser Gun by: Shyft
    Pretty much completely unchanged.  I just made it fire faster.  I'm
    not sure, but I think Skar made the weapon texture/model.
pipebombs, gibbable corpses, kick and backpack throwing AsmodeusB
                                                        ([e-mail])
    The pipebombs I modified so you could pick them up after you
    deactivate them.  The corpses I went wild with so that they moved
    more naturally when pushed, and will float in water and drift and
    bob.  You can also walk on top of them and jump off them.  I also
        made the heads take no damage from kicks so you can play around
    with them.  And the corpses and heads now decompose after a
    short while.  The kick I modified for more distance and less
    damage against monsters under your control.  I liked the idea of
        backpack throwing, so I wrote my own code into the Drop
    Backpack and backpack_touch routines, but still, I got the basic
    idea from Asmo.
flare gun (used in illumination spell) by: Steve Bond
    Basically, I cannibalized his code to use in the illumination spell.
        become fiend (inspired the Dog's day spell) Auth:  John & Josh Spickes
    This is great stuff, really impressive.  I had it in my patch until
        the last minute, but took it out because it didn't seem very
        practical.  But it did inspire me to write my own code for the
        Dog's Day spell    code, which is lots of fun.  There are still a good
        amount of lines from their code in my Dog's Day code.
teleport/wind tunnel by David Wiedenmann.
    This was a great idea, something I loved in Duke that Quake
    foolishly left out.  Code is very simple, and unchanged.
Multiskins- these come from so many different sources, that I have no idea
        who did what.  The only ones I've done are Me (skin 1),
        Jaworski (skin 2), Talon (skin 20), and the
        Flesh to Stone skin (skin 25).

Note that I'm getting these names from text files that came with
other compilations, so if they're wrong for some reason- don't blame
me!!!
