           Dave 'Zoid' Kirsch for making me feel dumb, and making me "dig"
           through the quake-c for deathmatch 3.
           Johannes Plass - for his ServerModules - they showed me that it
           is possible to have fun with quake-c.
           My friend Tim - who wanted a really messy gun.. well Tim....
           My brother Dave - playtested it for me.

Build time: about 10 hours.

Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
A simple addition to the arnenal given to you - when you pick up the grenade
launcher, you are automatically given the gib launcher.
To select it, just press "6" twice. It uses 3 shells for ammo, and fires
out a large chunk of gib, which will blow up and split into smaller gibs,
hurting nearby targets. Not as powerful as the grenade launcher, nor as
fast, but hey, It only uses 3 shells.

Features Include:
Uses only 3 shells for ammo. Fires gibs. Messy.

Known bugs
- If you have a lot of gibs flying around you may recieve a
"packet overflow" message. I have lowered the frequency of this message
since 0.9 beta, but if you are gibbing LOTS of monsters, and have a lot
of launched gibs, you may still get it. - not really a bug, 'cause I can't
fix it. It's a limit. Stop gibbing for a minute, and It'l go away.


How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------

Create a "gib" directory off the quake directory and put the files included in
the archive into that directory.
To use the mod, start quake with the parameter "-game gib"
