Filename               : RUBv11.zip
                         includes game.bak, RUBuser.con, switch.bat and this 
                         file.  You need both .CON files and the defs.con

Description            : Major changes:
                            1. Rubbermaids are peaceful, placid objects -unless
			  provoked.  Experiment!
			    2. RPGs have been really messed up.  Fire one.  Now
                          duck and do that. Now hold space and shoot.  If you do both,
                          do so while moving or you'll drop a mine.  This can be 
                          corrected in the RUBuser.con file (see #7).
			    3. Bullets are tipped with explosives, shrink charges (effect
                          only visual) , and Rubbermaids.  Press space and fire to shoot
                          off a 'maid -and lose 20 life.
			    4. Duke now craps invisible mines! LIGHTLY TAP space while 
			  ducking to do so and lose some life.  Mines can be detonated
			  by shooting them and can be detected by rats emerging, smoke
                          puffs, and/or scraps flying out at close range.  Turn off if
                          not for DukeMatch -affects only players.
			    5. Hit steroids and jump to go into "stealth mode".  Become a
                          totally black, translucent shadow.  Hide in dark areas.
                            6. Duke bodies burn.
                            7. Fully costumizable. Open RUBuser.con with a text editor
                          and follow instructions.  Change frequency of explosions, 'maids,
                          drop-off's by RPGs and turn on and off EVERYTHING.
                            8. Duke bleeds blood and health under a certain life level 
                          (default 30 )
                            9. Duke's pant's change color to fit damage level.  Great for 
                          DukeMatch.
                            10. Many other changes such as a random quote generator, more 
                          guts, varying heath bonuses from Atomic Healths, max ammo amounts,
                          faster respawn times, destructable cameras, more freeze bounces,
                          increased pipebomb strengths, upped ammo pickups, bosses you can
                          kick to death, improved holoduke and medkits, new quotes, etc.

Additional Credits to  : The Hackers Guide to Duke Nukem 3D as the best resouce on the web
                         which helped me get started, 3DRealms and ID for starting the whole 
                         thing, and my friends for rigorous testing. And most of all, to the
                         taboo on assign homework on Exam Week, giving me time to waste on
                         this.

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


   To install: 1. Copy all files to your Duke directory.
               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.

   Things to try:
               1. Fire the RPG as vertical as you can while ducking.  Think stairway to heaven
                    -or grappling hook.
               2. Make walls with or without pipebombs.  Block off passages.
               3. Play Dukematch with mines, bleeding, stealth mode, and color-changing pants.
               4. Use rubbermaids to get items, shoot around corners, etc.
               5. Use mines as detonators for pipebombs.
               6. Experiment -but use God mode. (DNKROZ)
               7. For heaven's sake, edit the RUBuser.con. Some of these changes conflict
                     with each other.

   Things to avoid:
               6. Mass genesis.  Too many barrels slow up or crash the game.  Be really careful
                     with da 'maids. 
               7. Using mines in single player -dey don't detonate around monsters, you'll
                     just kill yaself.  
               8. Killing yourself by deploying too many mines/'maids. The whole point 
                     of that is to keep people from abusing this.  If you think you can
                     handle it open RUBuser.CON with a text editor and follow the instructions.
