Nexuiz Version 1.1

This updated full install should address many problems people have had with the
first release. The default setting are now changed for low end computers, bots
have been added, a new level, and many bugs have been fixed. Weapon damages and
player movement have also been changed based on the feedback we've recieved.


Introduction

Nexuiz is a 3d deathmatch game based on the Quake1 engine. The Quake1
engine was the first 3D game engine to feature a fully textured
3D environment. Originally developed by id Software, it has since
been released into the open source community. It is a 3d deathmatch
game made entirely over the internet. The purpose of the game is to
bring deathmatch back to the basics, with perfect weapon balancing
and fast paced action, keeping itself away from the current trend of
realistic shooters. It uses HFX textures by EvilLair is a talented
texture designer made famous by his Quake3 textures Evil Lair, and
has 17 maps to frag in.

With an advanced UI, the user can select between 15 different player
models to use, with an average of two skins for each, and can connect
to our master server to play people from all over the world. The
game's content and source are The Gnu General Public Licence, commonly
referred to as the GPL, is one of the most common open-source licences
and was the licence id Software chose to release the Quake1 engine
under GPL, meaning, it is entirely free and any of it can be used in
other free projects, even if modified. This is a first for any large
game project of its type. We hope this will support the free game
community, and encourage more GPL projects.
