Introduction
------------

This patch works with the Random Map Chooser. Players can input an impulse to 
vote for a new level. When over 50% of players have voted, a new level is randomly 
selected and the server changes to it immediately.

This patch is especially useful when  the server changes to a large level when 
there are only 3-4 people on.

Note that this patch is only a small part of my mega-patch designed especially
for Quake deathmatch server carnage. Mail me for more information on my mega-patch.


Installation
------------

This patch does not come with a compiled progs.dat. It is intended to be merged 
with a patch's current source code. 

Follow the directions in install.txt for information on how to merge my
code with your own. Also read randmap.txt for more information on the
Random Map Chooser.

Note that the portion of this new code that picks a random level is written by
Stefan Schwoon (ssch0098@rz.uni-hildesheim.de).
