Tremulous gameplay
During a match, most players engage in fighting the enemy, while others are responsible for base maintenance and construction of new structures. In order to defeat the enemy, humans utilize various weapons, armor and other upgrades, while aliens may evolve into more powerful classes, each possessing unique abilities.
The teams do not have access to all possible upgrades and buildings at the beginning of the game. Each team must accrue a number of frags in order to advance to the next developmental stage. The point at which a stage change occurs varies dynamically depending on the number of players on each team. Each new stage brings more upgrades for the humans and more classes for the aliens.

The Tremfusion packages generally comes with:
1. Tremfusion - I think its binary is named 'tremulous' by default though so rename the file if you want. This is actually the Tremfusion client you play with.
2. Console Client (TTY) - A TTY console. Text-based interface, you can join games and chat like you're on IRC. Unfortunately you still need the maps to connect to the servers despite it being just a console based interface, you still can do hilarious things like spawning and running in circles. Who knows, you might bite someone. Not that I ever succeeded in doing so though.
3. Tremded - A dedicated server console. Tremulous 1.1 doesn't included a dedicated console by default on its Windows versions (macintosh users can find it in their .app file and linux users can always just build their own) so this is an upgrade for you if you do use Windows.
Linux, Windows:
4. z-tremfusion-menu-0.99r3.pk3 - Extract this into program files/tremulous/tremfusion or if you're on linux, whatever the equivalent is. It contains the menu and other user interface data. DO NOT PLACE IN tremulous/base OR YOU MAY HAVE PROBLEMS ON IMPURE (sv_pure 0) SERVERS
Windows only:
5. Some DLL files. Extract the .dll files into the same file with the binaries.
