Ver 1.01 Notes
--------------
-Grappling Hook
 Upgraded to ver. 1.2 of Perecli's hook.  Also went through and added
 my own 2 cents to the implementation.
 For any of you QC hackers out there, the rewritten raising/lowering
 section is very tweakable friendly now, if you want to go in and change
 the way it handles.
 (No changes to the underlying math, and many sections.  This version is
 still 90% Bort's work, at least.)
-Player now uses standing frames when hanging from line.
-chasecam.cfg is automatically execed last, no need to add it into your
 autoexec.cfg for install.


Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
-Chase view tracking functions rewritten from the ground up.

-Multiskin Pro
     MULTISKIN PRO Additional Quake-C coding by PiGBOY - BMair@Direct.Ca
         MULTISKIN PRO Texture Upgrading by BUKE - MBuckton@Direct.Ca
                 http://www.dsoe.com/people/kwairt/quake 
 Built-in to the pak file, no extra files needed.  With full support
 for the features listed in Mskin Pro (skin remains between level changes/
 DM respawns, skin stays on bodies, gibbed heads are skinned, auto BioSuit
 skin).

-Swinging Grappling Hook
      by: Perecli Manole     Battle nick: Bort
          http://www.slip.net/~sargov/bort/
 This hook blows away the standard hook, IMO.

-New laser targeter model
      by: Lando (Aka Conan) <lando@apollo.ruralnet.net.au>
 (now auto-hides when wielding the axe)

-Graphical bar-chart style HUD, for playing full-screen (optional)
-Hotkey system for Axe, grenade and rocket launchers (optional)
-Direct customizations designed into 'chasecam.cfg'

-Startup demo in pak, (it kinda sucks, but it's short :-)
 (Ver 1.01 note:  The demo is still the same, so it's with da old hook :-)

-(Everything in the patch is optional, designed so that any part
 can be enabled/disabled independent of others)

Installation:
-------------

Make a directory under Quake called 'chasecam'
copy pak0.pak, and chasecam.cfg to:

   quake\chasecam\pak0.pak
   quake\chasecam\chasecam.cfg

Then edit chasecam.cfg to configure, it has rem statements, and covers
all setup notes - you'll need to change any keys you plan to use.  It
also has automatic configuration for some things (cam/targeter/HUD).

launch the game from the quake directory by typing

   quake -game chasecam
or
   WINQUAKE.EXE -game chasecam

  them, rare.  (Testing location: starting hall e3m7)
  (Fixed, the answer was pretty stupid :-)
