canonical link to CPACK - where to get the author-maintained version

A bunch of miscellaneous things for first person mode. It started out a bit more varied, before eventually becoming mostly about the upgrade system, but it also contains the fabricator tool.

The upgrade system is opened with custom4. It contains a variety of upgrades that you can purchase with upgrade points. Upgrade points are usually slowly accumulated over time, and often any pickups on the map will contain extra points for you to spend. You can pause and use the mouse, or you can use the move forward and move backward keys to scroll the selected upgrade, and the rotate building key (which defaults to o) to purchase the selected upgrade.

The upgrades have a description listed that explains what it does or what it's for. If you try to add upgrades that you don't have the points for, it will add them to the queue and they'll be purchased when you have enough points for it. This is a later feature, and you will see it say queued if the version supports it.

There are a few powers that require active use, they will be displayed on your screen, and can change the selected power by pressing the zoom in / zoom out buttons (q and z are the default), and then use the currently selected poewr with right click or custom5.

The fabricator is more a tool than a weapon, but it's in with the weapons. When fired it creates a green ball, that will repair, build and supply ammo to anything in its radius when it hits.

For configuring, you can enable, disable, or change the cost of all of the upgrades near the top of the upgrader.4rpl.
