Carnage is a Quake Deathmatch Pack created by The Black Star Coven. This version features 3 maps and 1 patch, none of which you will find anywhere else... All maps can be played with or without the patch. You can even use them with your own patches. 1.2 WHY "PREVIEW VERSION"? Carnage is a commercial product. This is the shareware release. The final version should be out December 1997/January 1998, and features 20 maps and 3 patches, as well as a new bot. The full version also includes 2 exclusive maps from Rich Carlson of IonStorm's Team Anachronax. 1.3 HOW DO I GET THE FULL VERSION? The full version is currently being inspected by id Software for licensing... Once it has been approved, the full version will be released. Keep your eye on the Coven website, the Quake newsgroups, and all good Quake news sites for further details of the final release...

If you want to use the MAD patch, then use the command line - QUAKE -GAME MAD Otherwise, just start Quake as normal. Once you've got Quake started, setup your deathmatch options as normal and then bring down the console using the ~ key. Type in MAP and then the title of the map you want to play... eg - "MAP CDEMO1" 2.2 WHAT IS THE MAD PATCH? The MAD patch brings a whole new dimension to every Quaker's favourite weapon, the Rocket Launcher. The MAD patch replaces all weapons and ammo in a level with rockets - 4 different types. These 4 ammo types can be used in different ways, replacing all the Quake weapons except for the axe. Blast - causes less damage than a normal Quake rocket, but has a bigger blast, throwing the victim far further. Try rocket jumping with them! Double Blast - similar to a blast rocket, but causes more damage. Chemical - releases a cloud of poison gas that damages anyone straying into it for as long as they stay in the area. Biological - releases a cloud of germs that infects anyone who enters it, causing damage until they can reach a health pack. Mind Gas - releases a cloud of hallucinatory gas that confuses anyone straying into. For a short time afterwards you cannot walk in a straight line, and your vision is also affected. Just like a night out really... Incendiary - sets fire to anyone in the area, causing them to burn to death unless they can find a healthpack or some water to jump into. Tactical Nuke - the weapon you've all been waiting for! Vapourises anything at ground zero, sets fire to anything in the vicinity, and the blast wave hurls its victims away from the explosion. Use sparingly! Finally, the Quad damage is replaced by the super coolant. The super coolant temporarily doubles the firing rate of your rocket launcher for double the Carnage! If you are using GLQuake, remember to wipe the id1/glquake directory before playing the MAD patch, or else the super coolant will appear corrupted. 2.3 WHAT ARE THE MAPS?
