Intro
-----
Rocket Arena is an interesting new twist to traditional deathmatch. 
It is a strictly one-on-one game with "winner stays, loser goes" type rotation. 
It is designed both to improve deathmatch skills and be a kick butt patch to boot.  

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

READ THESE THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLING

First of all, Rocket Arena is currently a QuakeWorld ONLY Patch. 
We have someone working on a Normal Quake version.

To install:
First, you need the Rocket Arena client pak, in addition to this server code.
Install that pak as the instructions that come with it indicate.

Then, extract the files from this server zip into that directory as well.

To run a server, use:
qwsv.exe +gamedir arena +setmaster 204.182.161.2 +exec rotate.cfg +maxclients 6

The rotate.cfg is set to rotate through all the levels at 20min intervals.
You can edit it to change the timelimit, or use a fraglimit instead.

Also, you may want to designate your server as 'HPB' or 'LPB'
While not everyone will follow these designations, it will help significantly.
A 4 or 5:1 ratio of HPB:LPB servers should be about right, so check and see what
type other people are running.

We feel that 4-6 players is the max for a good RA server, but feel free to experiment.

How to Play
-----------

See the client pak documentation


Impulse Quick Reference
-----------------------

IMPULSE 68 - shows simple statistics for the current level. Skill = wins / (wins + loses) * 100
IMPULSE 69 - shows your "position" in line
IMPULSE 70 - step out of line for up to two minutes
IMPULSE 71 - set status bar text for 320x200
IMPULSE 72 - set status bar text for 320x240 or higher

These only work on the client side of course.
