General Description     : This is a community-made mappack that was started in October of 2007.  The general goal was to
			create a set of decent deathmatch maps suitable for the Instagib game modifier in Skulltag as
			well as regular deathmatch games and variants.
			
			Features include:
				- 31+2 newschool DM maps of varying size, detail, layout, and flavor from the Skulltag community and beyond.
				- A fully working reloadable Railgun which allows you to reload whenever you want by pressing
				the alt-fire key.
				- A new side-variant of Instagib called 'Altgib' which uses modified Karasawas instead of Railguns.**
				- Three new weapons: Karasawa, Nailgun, and Prox Launcher (see below for short descriptions).
				- Lots and lots of new graphics, sounds, bots, and skins.
				- A new, [somewhat]comprehensive campaign called 'Knee Deep In GIBS'
				- A glorious, completely client-sided gib system.
				- Fancy new smooth particles for you fancy OpenGL users.
				- A new color pallete which alters the blues and greens.
				- A script which removes the OpenGL midtexture light gradients for software users.

				** To enable 'Altgib', you must enable the Instagib modifer and then the Altgib modifer as follows:
					"Instagib 1"
					"Altgib 1"
				   Afterwards, change the map and you should be playing Altgib!  To disable it, just do the opposite.

			Weapons:
			    [Karasawa]
				The Karasawa is a powerful, high-density plasma rifle.  It was developed from a version of the
				UAC Plasma Rifle after a breakthrough was made in harnessing and containing high-density plasma.
				It was developed in the International wing of the UAC in Japan, thus it's odd Japanese name.  The
				weapon is capable of firing a highly concentrated bolt of plasma at high velocities.  The bolts
				obtain an elastic state while traveling through the air which allows them to bounce off of hard
				surfaces until it's energy fades.  The weapon has no problem ripping through flesh and bone; in fact
				the bolt does not slow when moving through a target.  It will only dissapate when it's energy depletes
				on it's own.  This feature allows you to fire through many enemies at once, much like a Railgun.
				It's recommended that you use this weapon at mid-to-long range; however it's effectiveness diminishes
				in large, open areas.

			    [Nailgun]
				The Nailgun is a cross between a shotgun and a chaingun.  It fires ultra-hard titanium nails with
				razorsharp edges in a spread pattern.  This weapon has a high rate of fire making it ideal for
				mid-to-short range fire against numerous enemies.
		
			    [Prox Launcher]
				The Prox Launcher (or 'Proximity Mine Launcher') is a personnel-class mine layer.  It's primary
				function is to create defensive perimeters or to help contain sectors that have been sealed off.
				Once a target enters the mine's proximity, it explodes with a very large blast radius.  The mines in this 
				version of the Prox Launcher have a timed feature which detonate the mines after a few seconds. It
				also has a new feature which allows the user to remotely detonate all laid mines using the altfire.  The fire
				rate of this weapon is relatively slow and the ammo capacity is very small.  This weapon is best used
				in a defensive manner rather than for assaulting targets.

			    [Reloadable Railgun] (actor name is "IGRailgun")
				This is a version of the Skulltag Railgun that can be manually reloaded.  Aside from that, it functions
				exactly like the normal Skulltag Railgun does.  The clip represents how many shots are left before you
				are forced to automatically reload, not what is loaded into the gun.

Known Bugs              : - Maps D2IG06, D2IG16, D2IG20, & D2IG31 may cause lag on older machines or with a large number of bots.
			  - A number of the maps are NOT bot friendly (some will keep killing themselves on hazards, fall off ledges, get stuck, or cause extra video lag)
			  - Altgib has a bug where the Railgun sprites will be displayed instead of the IggySawa sprites at the beginning of a map.  This seems to happen every other
			    map and the bug will fix itself after the player is killed once.
