Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
The Ripper is a brand new replacement model for Quake (duh).
It replaces the fiend model with a fearsome (if not loathsome)
tower of a character.


How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Unzip "ripper.zip" into your quake directory, taking care to
retain the directory structure.	Run Quake with the -game option
(e.g. q95.bat -game ripper -winmem 16) so now whenever you
encounter a fiend, it will be replaced by a Ripper.
(try playing E1m5, there's lots of them running around)


Technical Details
-----------------
The Ripper was created from scratch using Lightwave 5.0 for all
3D modeling and animation, the skin was created using Ken's secret
skin techniques so if I told you he would have to kill you  ;-))
