Description of the Modification
-------------------------------

NO NEW IMPULSES :) (for what?!?)
I made this patch because I think having quad damage or the pentagram of
protection should look more impressive than just this glow you normally 
have. So I took the player model, resized the body (weapons and head are
still original size), and made a little QuakeC hack... 

Tell me what you think about this patch, just mail me:

  Thanks to:
   ID Software for DOOM, QUAKE and QTEST1

 [what's still left to be done?]
 -make the eyes walk a little higher when having quad or protection.
 -make player view higher when having quad or protection.

Revision history
----------------

 [ver 0.6]
- converted the code from the chasecam source to the normal one
- killed those annoying "change color" pixels in the protection and quad
  faces!
- public release :)

 [ver 0.5]
- mostly bug fixes - they are hard to find if you can't play a multiplayer
  game whenever you want, so I had to use the chasecam mod for this
- made a second eyes.mdl skin for the situation invisible + protection -
  The eyes glow now =)

 [ver 0.3]
- Added quad damage for model change
- Added first versions of the new skins for quad damage and protection =)
- first bugs fixed!

 [ver 0.1]
- model done!
- protection changed model!

How to Install the Modification

 it using the -d parameter.

 Kick ass, and don't forget to let your actions be as impressive as
 your size >=)
