Freeze Tag 1.31
by Darrell "Doolittle" Bircsak 
for Quake III Arena 1.17


To install this modification, copy the freeze directory and files to your Quake III Arena directory. 
Provided is a shortcut which will load Freeze Tag for the single player.  If you run a server, use
the ft.bat file.  It will load a suggested configuration file, ft.config.

In Freeze Tag, when you kill the enemy, they will freeze into a mass of solid ice.  If your team can
freeze the entire enemy team, you will get a point, and the round will start over.  Frozen bodies
can be thawed if a teammate stands beside them for three seconds.  You get 1 point for freezing
someone, and 1 point for thawing a teammate.  If you happen to be frozen, you cannot respawn. 
You can follow your teammates around as a spectator until the round is won or your frozen body
is unfrozen, either because a teammate thawed you or you were knocked into lava or the abyss.

Freeze Tag will run with Capture the Flag.  The only rule change is that you can only score points
by capturing the flag, and when a flag is captured, everyone will unfreeze.  As a server you can
also set dmflags 64 if you want to not have everyone's weapons removed after a team win. 
dmflags 128 will mean only the entirely frozen losing team will be unfrozen after a team win while
any winning team's frozen bodies will stay frozen.  To use both these settings, set dmflags 192. 
There are no other added settings for Freeze at this time.

Players can functionally play Freeze Tag on your server without downloading the client.  The only
thing the client does is tell you who's body you're looking at, changes READY on the scoreboard
to a big white cross out to indicate who's frozen, and adds the ice effects.  Otherwise, frozen
bodies will look as though they have the Battle Suit on.  If you set sv_pure 0 then anyone without
a client can log onto your server.  If you set sv_pure 1 then make sure to set sv_allowDownload 1
so that players can download the small freeze?.pk3 files, otherwise they won't be able to play.

The map list in ft.config is only suggested of course.  Notice how you can change back and forth
between Freeze Tag and Freeze Tag CTF.

If you use GameSpy, import the Freeze Tag.qst custom tab so that you can find Freeze Tag
servers.

By the way, if you want to taunt the frozen bodies, pound them with the Gauntlet and the player
will be forced to follow you as spectator.
