Powerball version 2.0   Readme Updated 22-6-98
========================================================

Documentation Key

readme.txt = This file. ;-)
info.txt   = In-depth documentation
mapents.txt = Map entity information for the mappers 
              of the world.

------------------
Object
------------------

Get the ball, and go to your opponents base and either 
throw (see key bindings above) or run the ball through
the goal.  Running the ball in gets you 10 points, 
throwing the ball in is worth 5. 

------------------
New Features
------------------

The Lightning Gun has returned.  Grab some cells and 
press 0 to use it.  Be careful, water is still quite 
deadly with this weapon.

Assists are implemented, and so is the HatTrick Mode.
The HatTrick mode is enabled once any one team scores
three consecutive goals.  The ball becomes instantly 
deadly for a thirty second time period.  Watch the 
screen for automatic notification of the beginning/end
of this mode.

Shadow Orb now creates a Ring of Shadows eyes effect.
It renders the carrier of the orb invisible, and unable
to shoot.  Perfect for the ball carrier.

Map pb5 was included, created by Dr. Frag.  

----------------
To Run the Patch
----------------

Run Quake2 with the following command line:
	quake2 +set game 'dir'
Where 'dir' is the directory you extracted Powerball to.

------------------
To Set up a Server
------------------

To set up a bare bones, default Powerball Server you can 
simply run Powerball, and use the Multiplayer-New Server
Menu.

You can also run a server using the reccommended command
line:
	quake2 +set game pball +dedicated 1 +map pb1

Advanced server ops can use Powerball Server Flags, 
found in the Technical Information (techinfo.txt).

-----------------
Keys to Bind
-----------------

Bind the following to keys that are comfortable for you 
to use:
	cmd throw           (Throws the ball)
	cmd throworb        (Throws the orbs)
	say_team	    (to talk to your team only)
	whereis		    (displays a text message
			     with the location of the 
			     ball)
