ULTIMATE QUAKE by Michael Gummelt First release, September 29, 1996 For use with Quake v1.01 CONTENTS: Introduction Miscellaneous Enhancements MultiSkins Weapons Magic & Spells Keyboard Commands Installation Credits 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: gummelt@pegasus.montclair.edu ENJOY! Michael Gummelt 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.

I'm working on fixing that.. 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 <jepler@inetnebr.com> 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). Meddle 1.5 by brian martin brian@phyast.pitt.edu http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~brian also look at http://www.phyast.pitt.edu/~brian/meddle QuakeME Author : Rene Post (renep@xs4all.nl) 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: gwydion@psu.edu) 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 (tazq@sos.on.ca) 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!!! Michael Gummelt gummelt@pegasus.montclair.edu
