Seen here - the upgrade to the gravity well - (on the left with the red frame) the "Super gravity well". The super grav well is a work in progress - it needs to do more cool stuff.

What is Painkeep?
"PainKeep is a DeathMatch-only "mission-pack" designed for use with registered
Quake. PainKeep not only offers brand new weapons (with new pickup and view
models), but also a new rich environment with tons of new sounds, new special
effects, great new features, and lots of surprises. Every modification
included is original. This is in no way a compilation of various "weekend
mods" from the net."
Goals:
PainKeep goes back to Deathmatch's original emphasis. Make other players die.

Why I like:
Painkeep is my favorite DM mod. Ever. It was just that awesome. And back in the heydey of 14.4 modems when some of us just could _not_ play online, someone was kind enough to bundle it with the uber-mensch (but buggy, and not using pk items) reaper bot.
When you got bored with vanilla quake DM, painkeep is where you went.
When the original (circa '02) chaos mod code would not accept bots - and I had to start over...I picked painkeep as the base code set. And it is likely every DM mod I release will support Painkeep.
