Installation: Extract skin-desert.pk3 to the folder baseq3 folder.

Description: On a distant planet a weary people fight for their freedom. Driven to the 
	     deserts they fight on by any means they can. 

	     Among them a young man prepares again for battle. His makeshift armour of 
	     toughened leather offers little protection. A salvaged helmet from
	     an enemy fighter gives some comfort. Nevertheless, today, he will die.

	     From across the depths of the void, the Arena Masters have watched this 
	     war. They have seen the passion of this people. They have seen this one
	     train and they have seen him earn the respect of his brothers on the 
	     battlefield. But the Masters care not for the war or his people. They 
	     like what they have seen and today he will fight for them. 

	     Today and for all time.    

	     Or some crap :P 

	     This skin is entirely my own work and is a little different to most stuff 
	     out there. You may hate it, you may love it. I had fun making it. This the
	     first Q3:A skin I have released and will likely be my last independent
	     release for a while. For the foreseeable future I will be devoting my time
	     to the Quake 3 Fortress mod as the latest addition to the team. You can 
	     check out the mod at: http://www.q3f.com

Usage: This skin may be distributed by any electronic means as long as it is 
       accompanied by this text file. The skin may NOT be modified except for your 
       personal use. I.e. you may not release any modifications to the public. 
       Instead I encourage everyone to get to work on something original of their own.
       Please contact me and ask for permission if you wish to include this skin in 
       any skin packs or other distributions.
