DESIGNED FOR: Registered Quake

SPECIAL THANKS to ID for such a wonderful game that allows such
    silliness.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Create a directory under your Quake directory called "dance".  Put
    pak0.pak in that directory.  When you want to run it, run Quake
    with the additional parameters "-game dance".  This is NOT a
    server-only patch, so all clients MUST add these parameters.

DESCRIPTION:

Dance is a patch that replaces the regular nailgun with a mind-
    control ray.  This fearsome weapon, when striking an enemy
    player, causes that player to sing and dance for about seven
    seconds.  During that time, the player cannot fire any weapons
    and his movement is greatly reduced.  Since dancing is good for
    the soul, the dancer gets a bonus of 25% health if he lives
    long enough to complete the dance.

Triggering impulse 42 will make you dance.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but the mind-control ray
    uses nails.  I left it this way for a number of reasons.  This
    is a quick silly patch, so live with the lack of realism.

Note that since buttons and switches have no minds to control,
    the mind-control ray does not work on them.  You'll have to
    use some other weapon to trigger these.  Likewise, the brain
    waves of all Quake monsters are different from human brain
    waves and so they are immune.  This makes this patch even
    more lame for single play- the net effect is that you lose
    the nailgun.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

You can verify that the server is running the patch by having any
    client pick up a nailgun.  The nailgun is only slightly
    modified, so you should have no trouble identifying it.  When
    you pick it up, you will get the message "You got the Mind-
    Control ray".  If you instead get the message "You got the
    nailgun", then the server is not running the patch.

If a client is not running the patch, the easiest way to tell is
    to have that player pick up the nailgun and fire it.  If the
    word "dance" flashes on the top of the nailgun model while
    it is firing, the patch is working correctly.  If the nailgun
    looks normal, the patch is not working correctly on that
    machine.

Make sure that Quake is being run with the parameters "-game dance".

Make sure that the "pak0.pak" file from this zipfile is in the
    directory "dance".

Check my web pages to see if there is a new version.  Maybe there
    was a bug and it is now fixed.

If you still can't get it to work, please don't mail me about it.
    If you have followed the simple directions and checked the
    brief troubleshooting section here, you have probably already
    done everything I could help you with.  Mailing me won't help
    you.

If you have installed patches before and know all about this sort
    of thing and still can't get this patch to work, go ahead and
    write me about it.  Only do this if you are certain that the
    problem is in the patch itself and not your installation of it.

KNOWN BUGS:

Sometimes when a client joins the game, there is a pause of a few
    seconds while that player cannot move.  You will be able to
    turn in place and look around, but do nothing else.  Just
    ignore it and it will go away soon.

One of the sound clips loops forever.  Every once in a while, the
    music will stay on long past the dancing.  This will also
    correct itself- after a few players jump, that sound channel
    will get overridden by grunting and the music will stop.

Sometimes when a client joins the game, the client machine fails
    to connect and generates an error:
        Host_Error: CL_KeepaliveMessage: datagram wasn't a nop
    If you get this error, simply connect again- you don't have to
    exit Quake.
