Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
The one you've been waiting for. The Lone Gunmen are proud to give you The
Dragon! This sucker flies around, and can burn you (and other things) to a
crisp. He has a tendancy to set things on fire, so unless you find some
water, or a BIO-Suit fast, you're gonna go up in smoke....

How to get the sucker working:
Simply start Quake with the 'Quake -game Dragon' or whatever directory you
put it in and start the quick sample level Vengence whipped up. Type 'map
dragon' at the console, and have a look at it.

For those that like to make levels, you can make your own levels for the
dragon.  Just include the new classname "monster_dragon" in your custom maps.

Known bugs
* Sometimes the Dragon flies through walls (depending on texture)
* Sometimes the Sounds don't stop when they should

How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Create a directory called DRAGON as a subdirectory in your Quake directory
(parallel to the ID1 directory) extract the archive to the DRAGON directory.
DO NOT, we repeat, DO NOT copy the pak0.pak file over the top of your
existing one. That'll screw it right up.

The directory structure should look something like this:

        QUAKE (Directory you installed Quake to)
          |
          |-- ID1 (Original Quake game files)
          |
          |-- DRAGON (Dragon modification files go here)


To play, type Quake -game dragon from the Quake directory.  This modification
only works with the registered version of Quake, so if you haven't got it,
stop being a suck, and buy the damn game already. id deserve your money!

Author Information
------------------
Jaymz, Hitman and Vengence are the founding members of The Lone Gunmen,
amongst the very first Quake clans to be created. The Lone Gunmen intend to
create all-new add-ons for Quake, AND dominate the Australian Quake Clan
scene. If you wish to help us with developing our projects, then please
e-mail Jaymz at lcullen@eis.net.au or visit The Lone Gunmen HQ at:
http://www2.eis.net.au/~lcullen/tlg/index.html and check out our online

Vengence has made a couple of levels before, but this is the first QuakeC
project that he's worked on. Jaymz has made two other QuakeC patches: TLGBot
(aka Larva) and RemoteRidicule for Quake. Hitman has had no Quake editing
experience, but he intends to catch up soon....
