- QuakeC Freeze Gun by Simon Francis sjfranci@csm.uwe.ac.uk
-
- This is my first Quake C patch, I was just messing around so don't mail me
- complaints about it being lame.
-
- What it does:
- =============
-
- This patch adds an extra weapon that comes with the grenade launcher. Select
- the grenade launcher then press 6 again for the freeze gun. Any monster that
- is hit will stop moving for about 10 seconds or until it next takes damage.
- This works by setting a time delay for the creatures next instruction, for
- this reason it doesn't work on other players. It costs 1 rocket to fire the
- freeze gun.
-
-
- How to install it:
- ==================
-
- To run this patch make a new sub-directory under quake called, for example,
- freeze. Unzip freeze.zip into this directory. From dos type:
- pkunzip -d freeze.zip freeze
-
- Some of the files need to be in special subdirectories. If after unzipping
- the directories freeze\progs and freeze\sound don't exist, make them. Put
- the .mdl files in the progs directory and the .wav files in the sound directory.
-
- Then go the quake directory and type: quake -game freeze
-
-
- Other stuff:
- ============
-
- Feel free to improve on my code, distribute this patch, etc.
-
- This patch contains two different sounds and two differently textured
- models.
-
- For some reason occasionally quake will crash if you keep using the freeze
- gun near one of the nuclear waste barrels.
-
- I learnt Quake-C by reading other peoples patches, mostly the flame
- thrower by Quake Command (http:\\www.nuc.net/quake). The Quake-C
- Specifications were also quite helpful. If you are worked on either, thanks.
-
- Thanks also to id.
-
- I haven't seen any other patches like this, but there may well be since its
- quite easy to do.
-
- I didn't write this patch because of Duke Nukem's freeze thrower. Duke's
- OK, but Quake is better.
-
- Speaking of Duke, does anyone know how to stop it crashing with more than
- three players over an ipx network? The game hangs, one machine has to be
- rebooted but the others can quit as normal.
-
- For my 3rd (97/98) year at University I have to do a placement year, any
- offers would be appreciated. My course is BSc Computing and my email
- address is at the top of this file.
-
-
- I don't except any responsibility for anything bad that this patch does.
- Or anything you do with. If you like it and want to email me, feel free.
- If you don't like, just delete it.
