The Game
========
HexArena is a 1 vs 1 HeXenWorld DM mod based in RocketArena for
Quake, where two opponents fight in an arena map for victory.

The other players can watch the fight while awaiting their turn
to challenge the champion. A round ends when either of the opponents
dies. The winner stays in the arena, where a new challenger is
teleported for the next round.


In the Arena
============
Either as the winner of the previous round or the challenger, your
goal is to stay alive and kill your opponent.

Each player starts with 200 HP, all weapons and an amount of Discs
of Repulsion and Glyphs determined by the server settings. Some maps
have artifacts and health to pick up if server settings allow it,
but usually there is nothing to pick up.

Players in the arena can toggle the Tome of Power on and off by
pressing the number of their current weapon, if the server has
tomemode set to 1. If the server doesn't have tomemode set to 1, the
Tome of Power is not available.

When the challenger has entered the arena, a countdown starts:
"3...2...1...FIGHT!".

Weapons and artifacts WON'T work before the countdown ends.


As a spectator
==============
Each map has a spectator area separated from the arena, where
spectators can watch the fight. As a spectator, weapons and artifacts
are disabled.

The number in "Health" in a spectator status bar will not display
its health as it normally does, but its position in the waiting line.
When a spectator's health shows "1", that means he is next to go in
the arena.

A spectator's Green Mana will show the amount of health the winner
of the previous round has (this is the player with the gold/red skin)
and Blue Mana will show the challenger's health (the player with
the blue/silver skin).


New impulses
============
HeXarena has a few new impulses:

- impulse 27:
  prints statistics (wins and losses) for all players

- impulse 21:
  prints your position in the waiting line. Now obsolete, since your
  health shows it.

- impulse 20:
  Takes you out of the waiting line, or puts you back at the end
  of it, if you were already out of the line. NOTE: if you stay out
  of the line for more than 5 minutes, you are disconnected from
  the server.


New server commands
===================
HeXarena also has some new server settings.

The syntax for these new settings is:

    serverinfo command_name value

You substitute "command_name" with the name of the command and "value"
with the value to which you want to set it.

The available new commands are:

noart:
  set to 1 to disable all artifacts and items, other than disks and
  glyphs.

glyph:
  The number you set this to is the number of Glyphs players in the
  arena start with, as well as the maximum number of Glyphs they can
  carry. If set to 0, it will disable Glyphs and remove the Glyph
  artifact from the map.

disk:
  Same as Glyphs, but for Discs of Repulsion.
