Rubbermaid Bounces Back....

Introduction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a CON file patch that alters the behavior of the trashcans in DN3D.
When the trashcans are shot with a non-exploding weapon, there is a chance
that the bullet ricochets and will comeback and hit Duke for damage. Some
hits will be to the body, others will be to the head. This file is from
a special tutorial on hacking con files taken from Hacker's Guide to Duke
Nukem 3D (wwwvms.utexas.edu/~jeffa/dn3d)
Installation and startup
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO NOT RENAME THE CON FILES REPEATING DO NOT RENAME THE CON FILES in this
archive......
To run this patch:
1.Extract or copy all the files in this zip file to the DUKE3D game
directory.
2.Type RUB at the command prompt.
OR
3. type DUKE3D /XRUBGAME.CON (no space between the X and RUBGAME.CON)
Play
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go shoot a rubbermaid trashcan with the pistol, machine gun, or shotgun.
Extra debris and glass will fly out of the trascan and there is a chance
Duke will be hit by ricocheting bullets from the trashcans.
Special Notes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This patch will not alter the original files of the game in anyway.....
In fact, I wrote the patch as an example of how to hack con files without
altering the originals......
all this hub bub you hear and read about backing up the CON files is
a bunch of heuy. You can actually delete GAME.CON, USER.CON, and DEFS.CON
from you directory altogether and the game will run perfectly, DUKE will
use the copy "housed" in the GRP file which is a virgin copy of the files
anyway.
