Known Bugs            : A few, mainly to do with Second Weapons Selection
                        (Just hit DEL (Impulse 36) and it should fix it).
                        One very annoying bug is the inability to fire
                        sometimes with the DOUBLE BARREL.
                        Another revovles around a CRUCIFIER turning up
                        in your inventory.
                        NOTE: Your welcome to fix em'! (Please do if you can
                              and send em' in)

                        Most of these probably turned up as a result of
                        bad programming technique (Well, I aint a 
                        proffesional!).

Impulses              : Just look in the Autoexec.cfg
                            NOTE:  DO NOT USE QUAKE TO CONFIGURE KEYS
                                   This MUST be done manually as I am
                                   using a certain key differently now
                                         (Jump is now attack2)

Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
        Ever picked up two of the same weapon and ever wondered
        "Why can't I just run into the room with two of these suckers
        blazing?"  Well, with this mod, you can do just that.
        On top of the ability to select two of the same weapons, you can
        also mix them up.
                e.g  Have a Sub-machine gun in your right hand,
                     a Double Barrel in the other.
        This is LIMITED at present due. Currently the only available
        configurations are:
                - Two pistols
                - Two Sub-machine guns
                - Two double Barrels
                - A Sub-machine gun / DB shot
                - A DB shot / Sub-machine gun 
                - A Sub-machine gun / Sword
                - A Sword / Sub-machine gun 
        To select you second weapon hit 'DEL' (IMPULSE 36) then the weapon
        number (1, 2, 3 or 4 at moment)
        NOTES: If two identical weapons MOUSE1 (+ATTACK) fires them both.
               If two different weapons MOUSE1 fire the RIGHT one,
               MOUSE2 (+jump) fires the LEFT one.

        Item Related things:
                - To pick up items you have to walk to them and hit 'INS'
                  This goes for SEARCHING dead bodies too
                  (To search a body, walk on em, CROUCH and hit 'INS')

                - Weight limit.  (Don't try to carry a Crucifier, a Missile
                  launcher, a couple of Subs and 200 armor too often)
                        NOTES: Although there is no real limit on the amount
                               of ammo you can carry, weight constraints mean
                               that if you carry shitloads of ammo, then you
                               will be going DEAD slow.

                - Inventory system for Power-Ups (Max of 1 each)
                  Use '[ ]' to select, 'END' to use, hit 'I' to
                  see 'what you got'

                - Two or more weapons under the one number sometimes.
                          1 = Fists, Sword and Chainsaw
                          3 = Shotgun and Double Barrel Shotgun
                          5 = Crucifier and Sniper Rifle
                          8 = Lightning, Plasma Rifle and Laser

                - If you try to pick up a weapon you already have, you only
                  strip its ammo.  If you want it so that you can use TWO AT
                  ONCE, hit DEL (IMPULSE 36) and then pick it up.

        Weapon Related things:
                - You now need to reload (Hit 'ENTER')

                - Cannot shoot Bullet Weapons underwater
                        e.g Machine Gun, Shotgun

                - Variable damage base on range

                - 'Shot-to-shit' routine for monsters only.
                  (Use a Sub of something and keep shooting when their
                  dead and watch em' dance)
                  NOTE: Bullets DO go thru em' sometimes.

        Player Related things:
                - To swim up you gotta KEEP HITTING JUMP. A bug I liked,
                  so I kept it.

                - Actions. Use '< >' to select, 'ALT' to do
                  (Current actions: Drop Weapon, Drop Ammo, Drop Useless Ammo,
                  Take of Armor)
                          HINT: Try dropping some CELLS into water

                - Crouch with 'SHIFT' (Only makes you harder to hit. You
                  are still not able to go under things etc)

                - Wound levels/bleed/healing.  Pretty crap at moment, but
                  there anyway...

                - If you get gibbed, hit jump (CTRL or IMPULSE 123)
                  Your head will cough up a gib and swear, eyes flashing.

        Other things:
                - In DeathMatch, dropped ammo / items disappear
                  after a while to prevent hoarding.

                - Different skins based on health.
                  (Beware of a Player with GLOWING eyes and a big GRIN)

                - If you get a lot of Mega-Healths watch out.  You run
                  the risk of overdosing (Once over 250, you have a chance
                  of dying if you get another one or JUMP lots)
                  NOTE: Prevents hoarding.                

        Other stuff that isn't important so I won't bother listing it
                (Bloody sword, bloody sword....)

        See weapons.txt for weapon descriptions.

How to Install the Modification

Future Enhancements
--------------------
        - Adding the rest of the weapon combos
        - Better weapon models
        - Seeing what a player is using like D.M.E
        - Changing the damn shotguns!
        - This, that and the other...
