Instructions
------------

  Place the "pak9.pak" file in your \Quake2\baseq2 folder. If you run CTF,
then copy it to your Quake2/ctf folder & similarly if you run LMCTF or our
Abandon mod. Now, if you already have a pak9.pak file in the folder where you
want to place this one, simply rename the conflicting pak file to pak8.pak or
whatever number that is not used. You can have pakfiles numbered from "0" to "9"
 in each game directory because Quake2 allows non-sequential pak file numbers.

HUD Options
-----------

  You have a choice to use either the Quake2 high-visibility HUD or the new
Quake3-Arena style HUD. The high-vis is the default. If you wish to try the
Q3A-style HUD, simply open pak9.pak in WinPack, rename the "pics" folder to
"picsq2", & rename "picsq3" to "pics".


Rocket-Explosion Variant
------------------------

  This simplified version of the rocket/grenade-explosion animation uses 48
faces/frame rather than the original's 264 faces/frame, so it renders in a
fraction of the time. This means many explosions can be visible without a
severe drop in framerate. Also, it is alot smaller so that it doesn't obscure
your view. On the downside, the original animation had three variants, where
the new model has but one. It doesn't look as good when near the ceiling but
during combat the difference isn't very noticeable. This gives an advantage
in some heavy rocket-fights.


Quad-Timer
----------

You'll need to add a couple of binds your Autoexec.cfg file as follows:

  bind <key> "play quad60"
  bind <key> "play quad30"

  Now, the bind you use depends on what is going on in the game. Here's
how you proceed depending on the gameplay. If you are grabbing a freshly-
spawned Quad, press the "quad60" key at the same time as you grab it.
You will then know precisely when the Quad will respawn again, even if
you die and lost it while under its power. When a Quad expires, press the
"quad30" key. You will then know when it will respawn for your taking.


Water-Timer
-----------

If you want to know when you'll start drowning after you go underwater,
bind a key like so:

  bind <key> "play world/10_0"

  Then, press <key> when you go under and you'll get a 10-second countdown
that will help you time your underwater frolics.


Animated Quake2-names
---------------------

You'll need to bind a key in your config file as follows:

  bind <key> "exec ani_name.scr"

Refer to the contents of "ani_name.scr" below:

// 9 entries in Q2-name animation sequence
name "ourName Y"
wait;wait;wait;wait;wait
name "urName Yo"
wait;wait;wait;wait;wait
name "rName You"
wait;wait;wait;wait;wait
name "Name Your"
wait;wait;wait;wait;wait
name "ame YourN"
wait;wait;wait;wait;wait
name "me YourNa"
wait;wait;wait;wait;wait
name "e YourNam"
wait;wait;wait;wait;wait
name " YourName"
wait;wait;wait;wait;wait
name "YourName"
wait;wait;wait;wait;wait

  Save this into "ani_name.scr" in your Quake2\baseq2 folder. During gameplay,
hit "F1" to bring up the scoreboard then hit your specified <key> & walla!


CD-Player
---------

If you're like me, you sometimes play a music CD whilst killing.

  The following is a set of CD-Player aliases to put into your Autoexec.cfg file.
You use the 'Home' key to Pause/Resume, 'End' to Stop/Play, 'PGUP' for the Next-track, &
'PGDN' for the Prev-track. Be sure to bind these keys as:

  bind INS "cd info"
  bind DEL "cd loop;echo CD-Loop"
  bind PGDN "prev"
  bind PGUP "next"
  bind HOME "pause_resume"
  bind END "stop_play"

//CD
alias pause_resume pauseCD
alias pauseCD "cd pause;alias pause_resume resumeCD;tic;echo CD-Pause"
alias resumeCD "tic;lw;cd resume;alias pause_resume pauseCD;echo CD-Resume"

alias stop_play stopCD
alias stopCD "cd stop;alias stop_play playCD;alias next t03;alias prev t01;tic;echo CD-Stop"
alias playCD "tic;lw;cd play 2;alias stop_play stopCD;echo CD-Track 02 (Q2 1st-Track)"

alias prev t01
alias next t03

alias t01 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 1;alias next t02;alias prev t15;alias stop_play stopCD;echo CD-Track 01 (Q2 Data)"
alias t02 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 2;alias next t03;alias prev t01;echo CD-Track 02 (Q2 1st-Track);"
alias t03 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 3;alias next t04;alias prev t02;alias stop_play stopCD;echo CD-Track 03"
alias t04 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 4;alias next t05;alias prev t03;echo CD-Track 04"
alias t05 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 5;alias next t06;alias prev t04;echo CD-Track 05"
alias t06 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 6;alias next t07;alias prev t05;echo CD-Track 06"
alias t07 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 7;alias next t08;alias prev t06;echo CD-Track 07"
alias t08 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 8;alias next t09;alias prev t07;echo CD-Track 08"
alias t09 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 9;alias next t10;alias prev t08;echo CD-Track 09"
alias t10 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 10;alias next t11;alias prev t09;echo CD-Track 10"
alias t11 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 11;alias next t12;alias prev t10;echo CD-Track 11 (Q2 Last-Track)"
alias t12 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 12;alias next t13;alias prev t11;echo CD-Track 12"
alias t13 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 13;alias next t14;alias prev t12;echo CD-Track 13"
alias t14 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 14;alias next t15;alias prev t13;echo CD-Track 14"
alias t15 "cd stop;tic;lw;cd play 15;alias next t01;alias prev t14;echo CD-Track 15 (Alias-End)"

alias tic "play lazon.wav;lw"
alias lw "wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait"
