I. Introduction
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
FEAR DEATHMATCH PACK contains the top eight Quake II deathmatch 
levels available on the internet.  We have reviewed over 500 
custom Quake II deathmatch levels and selected these as the most 
well balanced and intricately designed.  You can find a log of 
our reviewed levels on our homepage.

Server ops will be pleased to learn that our pack is highly 
customizable and allows random map rotation.  In addition, our 
pack supports VWEP, the addition of visual weapons allowing 
clients to see what weapon their opponents are holding.


II. The Levels
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
All levels in this pack are used with the permission of their 
respective authors.  The original level documentation is included 
in PAK0.PAK under \DOCS\ directory.  Player listings are our own 
recommendations, not those of the author.  The levels include:

NAME                LEVEL     AUTHOR                    PLAYERS

III. Installation
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Unzip fearpak1.zip into \quake2\fear\ using either PKunzip or 
Winzip (http://www.winzip.com).  The subdirectory must be 
titled "fear" or the code won't know where to find the levels.

   Example: 
     if Quake II was installed in 
   c:\games\quake2\
     you would unzip the files into 
   c:\games\quake2\fear\

You must add "+set game fear" to your normal Quake II starting 
command line.  To play, click on START on the Windows95 taskbar 
and select RUN from its submenu.  For the example above you 
might type in
   c:\games\quake2\quake2 +set game fear

To play these custom levels you must now connect to a server 
running FEAR DEATHMATCH PACK.  You can find an updated list on 
our website.  To connect to one of these servers, simply bring 
down the console and type "connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" and you will 
be ready to play!  FEAR.INI is ignored in clients.  If you have 
trouble installing this patch, please feel free to email us.

If you wish, you can play VWEP with our deathmatch pack.  VWEP 
allows players to see the weapons their opponents hold.  Download 
the VWEP client pack (1.6mb http://www.telefragged.com/tsunami/) 
and place it in your \quake2\baseq2\ directory.


IV. Running a Server
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ
Please contact us if you wish the run a server, we are trying to 
maintain a master list.  After installing the pack as described 
in step 2, you MUST move the file FEAR.INI into the root 
directory of Quake II.  You can change the default order of 
level selection if you wish.  To use these commands on a non- 
dedicated server remove the "sv" proceeding each command.

Start your dedicated server as you normally would.  At the 
console type in "sv maplist seq" to cycle through the levels 
listed in FEAR.INI or "sv maplist rnd" to enable random level 
selection.  We recommend you set a timelimit of 20 minutes and 
a fraglimit of 30 for best gameplay.

   FEAR SERVER COMMANDS
   sv maplist [seq|rnd]	
        seq = rotate sequentially (default)
        rnd = rotate randomly
   sv maplist start       starts running the maps
   sv maplist next        manually moves to next level
   sv maplist list        to display current level list
   sv maplist off         clear maplist memory
   sv maplist help        displays server help

   OPTIONAL COMMANDS
   timelimit x            next map at x minutes
   fraglimit x            next map at x frags
   rcon_password x        sets remote login password to x
   rcon [pw] [command]    allows client to act as sysop

If you wish to log-in remotely to your server as an operator, 
specify a "rcon_password" from your dedicated console window.  
When you log on as a client, bring down the console and type in 
rcon [password] [server command]
