Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
 A new weapon.

 Using "impulse 12" (linked to "9" in config.cfg) switches the
Lightning gun between normal and freezer mode. In freezer mode, the
weapon needs 2 cells per shot. If you hit a monster, it will freeze and
stop all movement for some seconds. While freezed, monsters take double
damage from all other weapons. If the monster is in the air it will fall
down.

 Please email me and tell me what you think...

How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Make a new dir in your quake directory (ie c:\quake\freezer)
then unzip freezer.zip inside of this directory.
Now run qccdos in this directory and play quake with
         quake -game freezer

To switch Lightning gun use "9" or "impulse 12".

Technical Details 
-----------------
  If a monster is freezed the nextthink is simply set to a few seconds later
and the colormap is changed so that it looks right (but as you can see, it
does not). If a player is freezed he cannot move until unfreezed.

Still needs
-----------
  Correct colors when freezed. I just cannot get this part to work properly.
Sometimes the monsters get a white color (as it was planned) and sometimes
they become blood red. If anyone knows how to do it right, tell me!
  (I also had the idea to make an extra MDL with little icicles which could
be put over the frozen monsters but I have no editor...)
