Duke Nukem 3D alternate .CON files 
=============================================================================
Title                  : DUKEMATCH CON v2.0 Files
Filename               : DMCONv2.zip
                        includes game.bak, DMuser.con, switch.bat and this 
                        file.  You need both .CON files and the defs.con
                        that came with the game for it to work.
                        Oh, and some wallpaper that shows what this baby can do.

Description            :    This CON hack has been made especially toward DukeMatching.  Make 
                            sure everyone has the EXACT same CON files.
                         Includes:
                           1. Bleeding (track'em by the blood!)
                           2. Destroy items! Boxes of pipebombs EXPLODE!  This happens only 
                          after the items have been picked up once to prevent some problems.
                           3. When a player is spawned, he or she has a special ability, as 
                          indicated by a change in appearence.  When shot, they may lose that
                          ability/appearence and revert to normal:
                              A. The Shadow- Translucent. Flat Black. Invisable when crouching
                                 and still.
                              B. Peter Pan- Green. Unlimited flying.  But don't fly too high, if
                                 you're shot, you fall. (heh heh)
                              C. Andre the Giant- Totally overhauled from the last version.  Now
                                 he grows to gigantic proportions when in outdoor areas or large 
                                 rooms and 
                              D. Pyromaniac- My personal favorite.  Red skin.  Drop to the ground
                                 and hit space to shoot off a fireball around you: won't hurt YOU
                                 but will torch passerbys.  Also a flame follows your feet.  Once
                                 again, no pain but makes it hard to hide.  On the other hand it
                                 can illuminate a dark room.
                              E. The Mad Miner- Very fun!  Duck and hit space (no need to tap 
                                 anymore! ) to drop a mine. Also can now do it while moving.
                                 it'll cost you a few hit points but don't worry: MOVE! It will 
                                 arm in a couple of seconds.  Nice to put on those respawn points.
                              F. Masta of da 'Maid *new*- Same as the miner except is spawns a 
                                 breakable timer that counts down to the release of a Rubbermaid 
                                 trash can.  That can will then...  heheheheheheheheheh.
                              G. Decoy Duke *new*- With the same proceedure above, you can make 
                                 free, unlimited clones of Duke which can be shot and turn to face 
                                 the nearest player.  Also useful to get a lift to an upper ledge.
                           4. That wimpy freezethrower now makes you explode when you reach freezing
                          point.  And I got rid of the stupid bulletkill-falldown stuff.  Just blowup
                          in guts.  (Actually, these were bugs and I have no idea how to fix the 
                          latter.  So I did the Microsoft thing and called them features ;)

Acknowledged Bugs      : 1. The stupid shrinker has gone on the fritz!  Ahh well, never liked it 
                            anyway.
                         2. Careful with the Decoys.  If too many are killed at once (say 40) it
                            can crash the game.
                         Any ideas? Help? Flames? Write me please.
Additional Credits to  : The Hackers Guide to Duke Nukem 3D as the best resouce on the web
                         which helped me get started, those great BDP guys, and my friends for 
                         rigorous testing.  Oh, and to Mike Miller's Duke 3D site, which was the
                         first to post my other CON (Rubv17.zip).

=============================================================================


   To install: 1. Copy all files to your Duke directory.  No need to backup the CON files.
               2. Run switch.BAT.  This will swap the backup file with the current GAME.CON
                    The current one will become GAME.BAK.
               3. Start Duke.
	       4. Run switch.BAT again to return to normal.

Oh, and if you see DMCONSv1.zip, don't download it -full of bugs.
Sorry.
