Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
     This mod (faithfully) brings the respawn mode found in
Nightmare Doom back to Quake.  If you choose to play Quake
on Nightmare with this mod, you are in for a brutal treat!
When you kill a monster, it will respawn 10-90 seconds later
and hunt you down.  Even severed heads are restored back to
living monsters.  Also, just like Doom, all ammo boxes, weapons,
and backpacks dropped by monsters will yield double the normal
amount of ammo.  This mod "isn't even remotely fair." :)

     Other changes to the game include the following:

* Enforcers' blaster bolts do not glow anymore; too many glowing
    entities slow down game play, and the blaster bolts don't need
    glowing effects.
* It is now possible to gib fish.  Fish also become non-solid
    the instant they die.


How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
* Create a subdirectory called RESPAWN within the QUAKE directory.

* Place the progs.dat from this archive into the RESPAWN
  subdirectory.

   QUAKE
     |
     +--- ID1
     |
     +--- RESPAWN (new progs.dat goes here)

* Change to the QUAKE directory and type the following (without
  the quotes) on the command line:  'Quake -game respawn'.
