Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
This package contains two new textures for Quake, a night sky, and a 
blood liquid texture.  See below for more.


How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
To take a peek at the textures in Quake, just run the blood.bsp I've included.

To use the textures:
Take the .pcx files in the nightsky.zip file, and use NEWWAD1.3 or better to
insert them into your favorite texture wad.  I've even included the script
file.  That's it!

(More precisely, place the contents of the zip file in your NEWWAD dir, and type
newwad newtex.txt xxxx.wad  (where xxxx is the wad you want to build, or add to)).

Oh yeah, and use a really cool editor like Quest to start churning out 
awesome levels.


Technical Details
-----------------
For the night sky texture, I used id's sky4 texture, and with PhotoShop
overlaid a black filter to give the appearance of dark grey clouds against 
a black night sky.  It doesn't have the multiple layer effect, because at 
first, I used the wrong black for id's 'transparent' black texture...  But 
when I fixed it, it looked better the other way!  So, I left it this way :)
(This texture was used in DarkRealm, AceDave2.zip)

The blood texture is similarly made, by using a red filter over id's water2.
The churning effect is well preserved, and the yellowish and dark spots can
appear to be, well, you know...  So for all sickos out there waiting to make
disgusting and stomach turning Doom style levels - have fun!


I think that's it.  If I forgot something, or something's unclear, just
write me.  Hell, write me anyway, and tell me what you think.

Copyright and Distribution Permissions
--------------------------------------

Give me a break.  Does anyone out there REALLY have a copyright except id?
Yeah, right.  Okay, so if you don't send me $75 dollars for this immediately,
I'll see your ass in court.  ;)

Use it!

Just give me some credit if you redistribute/make use of it, and keep this 
text file with it, that's all I ask.

If you're a net-scraping, CD making, profitting off of other's work lowlife,
like those Zone! people, contact me first for permission.
