Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
This patch is intended for deathmatch.  You might enjoy it just fine in single
player, though.

*PLEASE* read diabweap.txt.  It contains the real "meat".  Here are the impulses,
though, if you just want to jump straight in:

Impulse 13 = Staff weapon hot key.

Impulse 21 = Cycle active spells forwards.
Impulse 22 = Cycle active spells backwards.

Impulse 23 = Cycle golem forms.

Impulse 26 = Cash in collected heads for a powerup.

Impulse 31 = Select fireball spell.
Impulse 32 = Select mana shield spell.
Impulse 33 = Select spawn spell.
Impulse 34 = Select chain lightning spell.
Impulse 35 = Select stone curse spell.
Impulse 36 = Select teleport spell.

Impulse 30 = Increases all spell levels by one.
		disabled in multi-play. =>

**Impulse 25** See golem section in diabweap.txt.


How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Create a subdirectory in your quake directory.  Name it, 'diabweap'.
Unzip dbwp074.zip into this directory.  Start quake with the '-game diabweap'
argument, and away you go.

If you connect to a QuakeWorld server running this patch, you will
automatically use the correct directory, so don't worry.  Just make
sure to name the directory 'diabweap'.

Author Information
------------------
	I'm a 17 year old senior in Juneau, Alaska, and (obviously) an avid
Quake player.  Multiplay Quake is a passion, and my friends and I frequently
get together a lan over weekends.  Quake is our main obsesion, but Diablo steals
some of our time, too.  This patch was inspired by those hours playing Diablo.


Known Bugs/Issues
-----------------
Probably a few in there, that's why this is a beta.  I would very much appreciate
any feedback/bug-reports/death-threats.  Er...scratch that last one.

The speeds/powers/etc of the spells are subject to change as I get more feedback.
Please tell me if you think something is way too overpowered or over-balanced.
For example, during the first beta-test, Clint demonstrated rather effectively
that chain-lightning was _way_ too powerful.  Once he hit a high enough level,
there was no stopping him (this is one I'm still nervous about, actually).

Please take the time to get used to the new bindings.  The included config.cfg
file contains the config that I use, if that helps at all.

OK, OK, basically, I starve for more input!
