======

Type of mod	: Quake C v1.06 (or should it be called Quake B+ ?)
		  QuakeWorld C v2.10

In short
--------
Predator allows every player to become invisible at will/keystroke for a
certain time.

How to install the modification
-------------------------------
Put the PROGS.DAT file in a subdir of your Quake-dir, and start Quake with:
quake -game subdir

This is only necessary for the server, the clients do not need it.

Then every player, who wants to use it, should bind impulse 169 to the
activation key, e.g.

bind a "impulse 169"

or use the preset alias "cloak"

bind a cloak

Details
-------
DDM is responsible for the frag-table, which you get at the end of each level.
As far as DDM is concerned, for listen-servers (server is a player, too) you
should set the server-console-variable "temp1" to 1 exactly.
For more info about DDM read the doc of DDM.

The idea for this add-on came from the movie Predator with Arnold. When you
bind "impulse 169" to your favourite invis-key, then you can become invis at
any time you want, unless your invis-unit is recharging. 8-)
This restriction is to avoid having only invis players.
	The skill-variable controls both the time that a player stays invis
and the time the invis-unit needs to recharge. The time is the skill-value in
minutes + 6 secs. The skill-var is a float number; reasonable values range
from 0 to 5, though I suggest to take less than 2, because you could
feel very lonely if you don't see anybody else for long time.
(recommendation: give skill 0 a try - 6 secs invis and recharging, could
give much fun, too, if you know when to use it)
