Accessory's Name	: PE/RG/002X Sniper-Rail Prototype 

Installation directory  : quake3/baseq3/

Author                  : James "HarlequiN" Taylor - from the concept by David Hernandez.

Accessory's description	: An alternative look for the Q3 Railgun and Q3 Rail ammobox.
 

Other info : I've not changed the Flash, impact or the Railtrail for this one 
(mainly due to ID changing the way Q3 Deals with these in point release 1.29f).
You can change the railtrail in 1.29f if you want though by doing the following:

Bring down the console by pressing the key directly below [ESC]
Type /cg_spiralrails 1 [RETURN]
Type /cg_oldrail 0 [RETURN]

This will give you the traditional Q2 spiral railtrail.

Known Bugs              : Some Mods (such as Eternal Arena) modify the way the Entity code
                          for the Railgun works - the charging screen won't work 
                          correctly in these cases.

Build  time    : 	about 6 weeks on and off


* How to use this accessory *


Place the .pk3 into your base Q3 Folder - next time you play Q3 you'll have a somewhat different looking railgun.
