Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
Bounty Hunters QW is a simple modification, Every item (except for keys, runes
and player's backpacks) has a price, in credits.  If you don't have the
credits, you can't pickup the item.
You get credits by staying alive (1 credit every 5 seconds), or by killing
other players (half of their current credits + the bounty on their head).

The bounty on your head is set to 100 credits when you get 5 kills, and goes
up by 20 credits for every kill over that.


Commands include:
-------------------------------
COMMAND                 EXPLANATION
Impulse 15              Print your current status
Impulse 16              Print the Top Three Bounties

Future Features
---------------
Possible SpeedUp powerup
Possible accuracy rankings (shots that damage players / shots fired)

Known bugs
-------------------------------
None so far, but it is relatively untested at this time (15th march 1999).
If I get bug reports, I'll fix BHQW and update this readme.

How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
