- INSTALLATION:
- copy all original quakec files to directory CLUSTER
- unzip distribution files, run qccdos
-
- OR:
-
- use the progs.dat supplied
-
- Changed the Impulse to a constant and moved the default from 25 to 70
- (70 has a bunch of free ones near it)
-
- Use cluster launcher like grenade launcher, choose it and hit +attack
-
- OK, this is gonna take explaining. At the risk of making combining of weapon
- patches possibly EXTREMELY troublesome, I screwed around a bit with the
- stuff in WEAPONS.QC and ITEMS.QC.
-
- cluster.qc has the main bouncer code
- cluster.qc needs to be before ITEMS.QC and WEAPONS.QC
-
- ex:
- progs.src:
- ..\progs.dat
-
- defs.qc
- ...
- cluster.qc
- ...
- items.qc
- weapons.qc
- ...

- For the internal changes, i added two entity fields, .weapons1 and .ef
- these are to get around the fact that Quake only had 23 useable bits
- in .items, and all but 2 were used. unfortunately, i wanted 3 or more
- new weapons. therefore the changes.
-
- .ef only has one recognized value right now: EXTRA_1. This tells
- W_Attack to use the alternate weapon. Boolean fields for them are in
- .weapons1.
- ergo:
- for the shotgun: .weapon=IT_SHOTGUN;ef=0;
- for the Cluster Bombs: .weapon=WP_CLUSTER;ef=EXTRA_1;
-
- if all bits of .weapons1 get used, just add .weapons2 and EXTRA_2=2.
- then add to the relavent portions of items.qc and weapons.qc.
- this allows ALL weapons to act the same to the user, hit the button to
- choose, hit fire to shoot; as well as allowing for unlimited weapons.
- right now, 3 bits are used in .weapons1:
- WP_CLUSTER = 1;
- WP_BOUNCER = 2;
- WP_FRAGROCK = 4;
- i ought to be using more soon.
