Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
 A shield which will protect the player from harm.

 Its a very simple patch. By pressing Impulse 20 you turn on the shield (you
see some glittering points around you). When activated, any damage done to
you is absorbed and your cells are reduced. If you do not have any cells (or
by pressing Impulse 21) the shield will be deactivated.

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

Technical Details 
-----------------
 Tell me what you think and report all bugs to me.
 I simply made some modifications in client.qc which will relocate the damage
to the "cells". Then i set up the little BRIGHTFIELD effect to indicate that
the player has activated the shield.
