- Old Deathmatch Mode!
- - Deathmatch 2 Enhancement for Quake Registered
- - Version 1.0 - by Timinator
-
-
- Ever miss skill 5 old-deathmatch in doom2? Ever wish the shotgun
- in quake was more effective and you got a lot more ammo per weapon
- in deathmatch 2 mode? Well now you can play Quake with the same ammo
- capacities and with the stronger shotguns of doom2, skill 5.
-
- This simple Quake C mod makes a few changes in the way deathmatch 2
- is handled. In case you did'nt know, the server has to type
- 'deathmatch 2' at the console to enable an alternate form of deathmatch
- whereby all weapons do not dissapear when you pick them up, but
- you can only pick up each weapon once per life.
-
- The problem with this was, iD did'nt give enough ammo per weapon
- in deathmatch 2 mode, making it easy to run out of ammo. Also, the
- weakness of the shotgun combined with the fact that rockets are a lot
- harder to see than in doom, made the rocket launcher the weapon of
- choice. Personally I liked how doom2 rewarded the accurate players
- who used the shotgun, I guess i'm just conditioned by all that doom
- playing :)
-
- This mod makes the following changes:
-
- - Shotguns now hit for twice the damage.
-
- - Ammo amounts have changed when you pick up a weapon:
-
- - Single Shotgun = 40 (you start out with this)
- - Super Shotgun = 40
- - Nailgun and Super Nailgun = 120
- - Rocket and Grenade Launcher = 10
- - Lightning gun = 60
-
- This was done to mirror the ammo ammounts in doom2,
- skill 5, old deathmatch.
-
- - The axe now hits for twice the damage. This was to make up
- for the absence of a chainsaw.
-
- - The fire delay of the two shotguns has increased slightly,
- to more closely match the reload rate in doom2.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: All of these changes come into effect only in
- deathmatch 2 mode, deathmatch 1 mode is unaffected
- by this hack.
-
- How to run this mod:
-
- - Create a directory off of your quake directory called old_dm.
-
- - Unzip all old_dm files into this directory.
-
- - Start quake with the parameter '-game old_dm'.
-
- - NOTE: The server is the only one that needs to run
- this mod for it to work for all clients.
-
- Some QuakeC Notes:
-
- - This was a very simple mod, my first attempt at QuakeC.
- It has been tested in two player, if anyone gets it
- going on a server somewhere, let me know, I want to play
- on it!
-
- - For the benefit of othere QuakeC hackers I have included
- the three QuakeC files that I changed, items.qc, weapons.qc,
- and client.qc. For those of you who wish to incorporate
- this hack into your own, I have commented all my changed
- or added code with my handle, Timinator. Just search for
- this string and you will find the new code. If you do
- add my code to yours, please give me credit!
-
-
- Any comments, suggestion or ideas appreciated, just email me.
-
- Thanks to iD software for Quake, the first game to cause me to
- lose interest in Doom!
