 Known Bugs in BETA 2: (BETA TESTERS READ)
 ---------------------
 All Deathmatch bugs have been fixed now.
 HUD, I can't figure out why it doesn't work correctly, but it will be fixed till BETA 3
 Teamplay, theoretically works, but , you can't shoot your foe with a projectile weapon.
 Only with Knife(not thrown) , Grenade,  Kick... No it isn't SOLID_NOT, I have set SOLID_BBOX.
 and takedamage = Damage_aim ... But thanks. I haven't packaged the Pics, as the hud still
 doesn't work. But maybe next release... This ZIP file has got a password, so it's protected.
	
 Introduction to Axshun Kingpin
 ------------------------------
 Welcome to Axshun Kingpin. This program will allow you to access
 any Axshun Kingpin servers running the same client version.
 
 Axshun Kingpin is a DM or Teamplay mod designed along the lines of a good action
 movie.  No Flamethrower or rapid fire rocket launchers here,  
 and not a plasma weapon or laser gun in sight.  What we DO have is a mod where 
 stealth and strategy pay off more than the ability to face your enemies with a flamethrower
 
 Installation
 ------------
 Simple as can be. Install into X:\kingpin\axshun, as you would with any other mod.
 
 Basics
 ------
 In Axshun you start with only a pistol and 12 bullets in the
 clip.  In most games your starting weapon is little more than a glorified pea-shooter, 
 not in this mod.  That's a Mk23, more than enough to lay down a foe, 
 plus stopping power to boot.  Locational damage also insures that those shots to 
 the head will get you a kill.  But be careful with those shots, ammo is sparse
 compared to what you might be used to and you can hold only so much.  When running your 
 accuracy drops dramatically, so stand still when lining up for that head-shot.
 
 So now you've taken a jaunt through the level and are wondering where
 the other weapons are. 'This pistol is nice, but I want a shotgun.' you may be thinking.  
 Well, in Axshun Kingpin, weapons are unique, this means that if you see
 someone running through the level with an MP5, that's the only MP5 on
 the level.  So shoot the guy and take it, you've earned it.  You can only 
 carry one unique item at a time.  Of course, special items function in the same way.  The 
 teamplay variation is different, you choose your own weapon/item.  That is a whole other 
 story.
 
 In this release there are 7 weapons: the pistol, akimbo pistols, the MP5, the shotgun,
 the sniper rifle, grenades, the assault rifle, the knives, and the hand cannon.  All but
 the grenades, knives, and the pistol are considered 'unique'.  See action.doc or go to our 
 website (http://axshun.team-mirage.de) for more details.
 
 we are very interested in player comments and suggestions.  If you like 
 the mod, tell us why.  If you hate the mod,  tell us why.  And if you have
 any ideas that you think would make a good  addition, please tell us.  
 You can write to us at axshun@team-mirage.de Make sure that if you have a 
 suggestion, that you place it on our messageboard first though.  The messageboard
 can be found at http://axshun.team-mirage.de

 Big Thanks!
 -------------
 Without the A-Team (action.telefragged.com) we would never have released this stuff.
 If they wouldn't have released the source , it would have took me longer to release this.

 A-Team again for the models (I've mailed goose man for the permisson...)

 Thanks to XatriX for releasing the source to KingP!n, and ID for the q2 engine :)

 And finally, thank you to the players, the ones who made this mod become what it is today.
