Description:	A deathmatch gameplay enhancement, based on SiN. Not nearly as complex as my Quake3 based patch... All weapons are changed: 1: Fists Twice as strong as before 1: Plasma Accellerator In close combat mode. Is 3 times as powerful up close as it is far away. 2: Machine Gun Finally, a useful default weapon. 3: Shotgun Fires the SSG spread. Slow action, but deadly. 3: Rifle Super strong pinpoint accuracy. 4: Chaingun Spray and pray. 5: Rocket Launcher Nothing too different here. 6: Plasma Accellerator Again, not too different. Faster plasma. 7: Quantum Destabilizer Fires a spray of flames. Be careful, as it hurts to touch the spray! Has a limited range, so no sniping!

Anonymous	This is extraordinary. I love it. 5/5	x
Anonymous	I'd like to see people using this in deathmatch servers, even though I don't play deathmatch myself. It's a real shame more people don't use these mods, because it'll give new variety to the servers. -WW	x

Version 2:

-Fixed crashing due to offset plasma decals
 The wall scorches appear off center now, but it's the lesser of two evils,
 so live with it.
-Minor dehacked tweaks
-Close range plasma accellerator no longer consumes cells, but still gives
 cells upon pickup
-Shotgun now uses 1 ammo per shot
-nerfed rifle to only shoot 10 shots
-fixed some engrish in this file

Advanced Description:

I had to make the BFG wall scorch decals fade out after a second. When you
fire the BFG, you are essentially firing 8 projectiles, and they tend to
hit the wall at the same place. This can cause slowdowns, especially if you
look directly into the decals. SO, I used the imp decal, and made it fade out.
Obviously only applies to ZDoom 1.23 for now.

I used the same technique for the machine gun and sniper rifle as I did in the dehacked
version of Immoral Conduct. Hence, running out of ammo and auto-selecting either
of these guns will cause them to lose their accuracy.
Note: This appears to happen much less in Skull Tag.

Sometimes, the machine gun and the BFG will cause your ammo to go into negative (-1)
values. Once you pick up some ammo or a weapon containing that ammo type, you
will be fine. ZDoom 1.23 doesn't allow you to select empty weapons, however
1.22 and Skull Tag will, so often you'll have to manually swith to another weapon
if this happens. Some common sense will do as well, IE if you have 1 cell left, don't
fire the BFG or you'll end up with -39 cells.
