Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
You're running around in deathmatch, furiously gibbing people with your
rocket launcher, when suddenly a Quaker jumps out from the shadows holding
a chainsaw.

Next thing, your bleeding profusely, with only one arm and leg, watching
bits of your arm and leg fly off in all directions.

COOL!

           The next in the tradition of Severed, we present
                    "Severed 2 - The Next Slice".

Your limbs can be severed in any order, a leg might go first, or maybe
an arm, or possibly you may even be decapitated...  As you lose different
limbs, movement will become a bit harder to control, and attacking can
sometimes be impossible..

Once again, the megahealth has special properties.  It contains a large
amount of a drug designed for rapid growth.  The dosage that the
megaheath contains will instantly cause the regrowth of all your limbs.

Normal health packs (not rotten) contain smaller amounts of the drug, and
100 health must be obtained to get enough of the drug for a limb to regrow.

The Super Shotgun, Axe and the Chainsaw will all cut/slice off arms, legs and
decapitate Quakers.

Commands:
impulse 50 - Changes to the Chainsaw
impulse 60 - Changes to the Severed Limb
Either can be selected using cycle weapons key

Known bugs:
Death while holding the chainsaw occasionly stuffs up..
Blood sometimes disappears when running along.
Some frames may still screw up...
Let us know if you find any, and mail us at the above email address's,
your comments and suggestions are welcome too!
