º  Description of the Modification  º
ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

This mod allows you to play-dead. If you thought camping was bad, wait 'till
you see this... :)  Playing-dead is a sneaky little cowardly activity in
which you try to lure you opponents into believing that you're just another
corpse lying around the floor, by faking your own death... And then, when
some unexpecting honest player passes you by, just get back up on your
feet and blow-him to pieces with your rocket-launcher!

As if Quake gameplay wasn't paranoid enough, along comes this play-dead
thing to make it even worst... Now you can't even trust the corpses! It's
so bad even campers will hate you! :)

However, as I'm sure you'll find out if you start playing-dead a lot,
something unexpected might happen to you from time to time... Does the word
"gib" ring a bell?... :)

You will also find out that when you play dead, you will only be able to
use your shotgun and your axe. ( After all your oponents deserve a chance! )

º  How to use Modification  º
ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ

Impulse 100  Start playing-dead

Impulse 101  Stop playing-dead


Bind these impulses to keys to make PLAYDEAD a more enjoyable experience. :)
To make the P key activate PLAYDEAD put this line in your config.cfg file 
(or type it in the Quake console):

BIND P "IMPULSE 100"

Now, every time you press P you will play dead. 
You can bind the other impulse in a similar manner.

Features:

þ Convincigly fakes your death.

þ If you use the AXE while playing dead, other players will see you standing,
but for all other purposes you still remain dead ( View point! )
The same happens when you pick up a weapon, so be carefull! You won't know
that you are standing until you eat a rocket!
