	The latest version of QTeam is now available from the Quake Innovations 
web site at www.gis.net/~ggriggs/qi.html.  Features in this version include 
advanced remote administration functions, Capture the Flag, Capture the 
Shambler, and Paintball support.

	The special client package offers several new levels for play in the 
various game modes, new models, and new skins to prevent "cross dressing."

	QTeam supports many special features not supporeted by any other patch, 
such as levels that automatically setup the game mode for you, dynamic level 
resizing as the number of players or teams change, team specific doors and 
items, bases that don't have to be in the same place as flags, and more.  
Features used are dependant on the level.  Any designers interested in creating 
levels for any of QTeam's modes can get a development package on our web site, 
or stop by #QTeam on efnet IRC.

	Remote administration features include the ability to designate players 
as ops and master ops, to set up passwords to prevent other players from 
gaining op status, to use any server command from a remote client (provided you 
have ops), and to reset and make major changes to the server (if you're a 
master op).

	Capture the Flag -- Grab the flag and return it to your base to score. 
 Can be played either on the standard id levels, or on the custom levels 
provided in the client side package.  New flag models, too!

	Capture the Shambler -- Capture the Flag a little tame?  Try leading a 
Shambler back to your base!  Tag him, and he joins your team, fighting off 
other teams and following his "leader."

	Paintball -- Think of deathmatch as an elimination.  Players who are 
fragged sit out until only a single team remains in the round.  The next round 
begins immediately, so there's no waiting around.  This mode works great on any 
of the id levels, or the ones included in the pack.
