Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
MOD Contains the following new weapons:

Hellfire Missle: Homing missle... absurdly deadly.

Cluster Bomb: Grenade Launcher based weapon that shoots a standard-looking grenade that explodes
into 12 additional grenades that blossom out in every direction.

Shrapnel Grenade: Hand-held grenade that hits everyone in the room with a shotgun blast with it 
explodes.

Death Blossom: Hand-head grenade that hits everyone in the room with a rail slug with it explodes.

To activate any of the new weapons, use the standard weapon activation keys (7 for the rocket
launcher, etc).  Pressing the key more than once will cycle through the various weapons.

Ammo Requirements:

Hellfire Missle: 5 rockets, 5 energy cells
Cluster Bomb: 4 Grenades
Shrapnel Grenade: 2 Grenades, 5 shells 
Death Blossom: 2 Grenades, 5 slugs


MOD also contains the following runes/techs:

Regeneration: Owner gets 1 health point every 1/2 sec
Resistance: Owner takes 1/2 damage
Strength: Owner does 2x damage
Vampire: Owner receives health from its victim 
Haste: Owner's weapons fire 2x as fast

BUGS: 
	
- The runes will not respawn elsewhere if they are dropped in an inaccessible location
(eg: lava).
- If you are carrying the vampire rune, you will only receive health from your victim if
you do not kill them... the chain gun works great with this rune <g>

MOD also keeps track of (and displays on the screen):

- Your rank in the server
- Your Frags/Hour rating

MOD Contains a grappling hook, a sample .cfg file for using the hook is included.

How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
In Windows, make a directory called HellFire under your Quake 2 Sub-Dir, place the .dll
file there.  In Linux do the same, but copy the .so file.

To start a server with the mod use:

quake2 +set dedicated 1 +set game HellFire
