Assassins - a Quake2 Mod, Version 1.10 (BETA)
by the SkurvyLads

Concept
=======
	You are a highly skilled killer, you have been given your target, you're almost ready to go, the only question that remains is, "Who's hunting you?"

Instructions 
============
     After download, unzip to assassin subdirectory under your Quake2 root (You must use \assassin). To run the game use "quake2 +set game assassin". This needs to be run on both the server and the clients. We have a quake server at gentry.ne.mediaone.net. 

Commands
========
	use grapple - Equips the Grappling Hook.
	id - Displays the player's name and range that you are looking at.
	modpoints - displays some settings the server is running with.

Game Play
=========
     Assassins is a Quake2 death match mod where you are an assassin. Each player has one specific target at any given time. Players are given a target that they must then hunt down and exterminate. No one else is to be killed, that is except, whoever may be hunting you.  

     If you kill the wrong target to often, you will be classified as a looney.  Looneys only use pistols, and everyone gets points for killing them.

     Killing one's target results in 5 points, killing ones hunter results in 2 points, while killing the wrong target or an "innocent bystander" results in -1 points. Upon termination of your target you will be given your next assignment. 

     When assigned a target it will briefly display on the screen who your target is. To double check who you're hunting later use the command "target". While within the game, whenever you aim at someone a box will appear in the lower right corner, a big X will signify that this is not your target. If it is your target the box will have a bullseye in it with the word KILL. The person hunting you will be displayed as a non-target by default, you'll have to figure out who's hunting you by who shoots at you. 

The innocent bystander: 
     In order to make our hunt algorithms work properly, in a game with more than 2 players someone will always be an 'innocent bystander'. When you die you become the innocent bystander and the previous bystander draws his gun.  While a bystander you cannot use weapons or pick up items, but you CAN die and be seen. You will be no ones target while you are helpless. 

Running a Server
================
	Under Windows 95/Windows NT copy start.bat from the assassin directory to your quake2 directory, change start.bat and assassin\server.cfg to your liking.  Then run start to start your dedicated quake2 server.

	Under linux copy start from the assassin directory to your quake2 directory, change start and assassin\server.cfg to your liking.  Then run start to start your dedicated quake2 server.
