Duke Nukem 3D alternate .CON files 
=============================================================================
Title                  : DUKEMATCH CON v1.2 Files
Filename               : DMCONv12.zip
                        includes game.bak, DMuser.con, switch.bat and this 
                        file.  You need both .CON files and the defs.con
                        that came with the game for it to work.

Misc. CON Info         : This is optimized for the SHAREWARE.  However, it seems to work
                        on the full fully.
Description            : This CON hack has been made especially toward DukeMatching.  Make 
                        sure everyone has the EXACT same CON files.
                         Includes:
                           1. Bleeding (track'em by the blood!)
                           2. Destroy items! Boxes of pipebombs EXPLODE!
                           3. When a player is spawned, he or she has a special ability, as 
                          indicated by a change in appearence.  When shot, they may lose that
                          ability/appearence and revert to normal:
                              A. The Shadow- Translucent. Flat Black. Invisable when crouching
                                 and still.
                              B. Peter Pan- Green. Unlimited flying.  But don't fly too high, if
                                 you're shot, you fall. (heh heh)
                              C. Andre the Giant- Duck and hit space to kill everything in a LARGE
                                 radius.  Do this only if in trouble 'cause you can only do it
                                 once and after that, you inflate to a huge target and die soon. 
                                 (still, stepping out a door and seeing a 5-story Duke is always 
                                 unnerving ;)
                              D. Pyromaniac- My personal favorite.  Red skin.  Drop to the ground
                                 and hit space to shoot off a fireball around you: won't hurt YOU
                                 but will torch passerbys.  Also a flame follows your feet.  Once
                                 again, no pain but makes it hard to hide.  On the other hand it
                                 can illuminate a dark room.
                              E. The Mad Miner- Very fun!  Duck and *TAP* space to drop a mine. 
                                 it'll cost you a few hit points but don't worry: MOVE! It will 
                                 arm in a couple of seconds.

Additional Credits to  : The Hackers Guide to Duke Nukem 3D as the best resouce on the web
                         which helped me get started, 3DRealms and ID for starting the whole 
                         thing, and my friends for rigorous testing.  Oh, and to Mike Miller's
                         Duke 3D site, which was the first to post my other CON (Rubv17.zip).

=============================================================================


   To install: 1. Copy all files to your Duke directory.  No need to backup the CON files.
               2. Run switch.BAT.  This will swap the backup file with the current GAME.CON
                    The current one will become GAME.BAK.
               3. Start Duke.
	       4. Run switch.BAT again to return to normal.

Oh, and if you see DMCONSv1.zip, don't download it -full of bugs.
Sorry.
