- Description
- ===========
- This patch will allow you to shoot certain projectile weapons,
- items, and gibs, through teleporters.
-
- The following weapons can be teleported: Nail Gun, Super Nail
- Gun, Grenade Launcher, and Rocket Launcher.
-
- The following items can be teleported: Backpacks and Gibs.
-
- Client Installation
- ===================
- 1. Create a subdirectory called "TELEWEP" in your Quake
- directory.
- 2. Copy "PROGS.DAT" from this archive to the "TELEWEP"
- directory you just created.
- 3. Launch Quake with this added command line parameter:
- "-game telewep". (i.e. "quake -game telewep")
-
- Server Installation
- ===================
- 1. Create a subdirectory called "TELEWEP" in your Quake
- directory.
- 2. Copy "PROGS.DAT" from this archive to the "TELEWEP"
- directory you just created.
- 3. Launch Quake with this added command line parameter:
- "-game telewep". (i.e. "quake -game telewep")
-
- Clients do not need this patch if your server is running
- with the patch loaded. Clients will automatically inherit
- the patch from the Server.
-
- Notes
- =====
- This is my first attempt at patching Quake, so bear with me.
-
- This patch is extremely simple. I just commented a few lines
- out of TRIGGERS.QC to achieve the affect I was looking for.
- Hopefully the removal of those lines won't cause any serious
- problems.
-
- Known Problems
- ==============
- Rockets and Nails don't always get teleported. Sometimes you
- have to shoot the teleporter "just right" in order for them
- to go through. Grenades always seem to work.
-
- After a Rocket or a Nail is teleported, its velocity is
- reduced.
-
- I guess I don't really consider any of these problems to be
- that important. The problems add a level of randomness to
- this patch, which I like.
