DeathMatch PLUS PACK! v1.0 by W.Harris --------------------- willh@demonic.demon.co.uk Paragon_ on #quake Microsoft did it! id DIDN'T so.. I DID!! Features outlined: New Weapons ----------- Timed Bomb. BFG. TripWire(s). Super Timed Bomb Super-Super Nailgun. :) Super-Rocket launcher. Super-Lightning gun. Cluster bombs. New Deathmatch Options ---------------------- IT TI Quake-TI Capture the Flag New Other Stuff --------------- Personal Teleporter Each new item/weapon can be toggled on or off Added multiskin support Added anti-suicide ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Weapons: Super Weapons powerup --------------------- In a deathmatch game, this item (a disembodied glowing axe), will appear every two minutes ramdomly on the level. The spawning routine is not perfect... so it may appear in a place that cannot be accessed. In that case, it will automatically choose another place if it hasn't been picked up in a while. Or you can turn it off then on using IMPULSE 25 twice. Timed Bomb ---------- A favorite at our deathmatch sessions (mainly because of the ominious ticking). Fire it at the wall, and RUUUUUNNN!!!!!!! It blows after a few seconds. To use it, pick up the Chain Nailgun. Each shot needs 10 rockets. To choose the Bomb, type IMPULSE 9 To toggle the availability of the Bomb, type IMPULSE 21. Super Timed Bomb ---------------- When you pick up the Super Weapons powerup, you get this item. It is an experimental weapon. It will fly around the level, avoiding walls and will automatically lock onto the nearest enemy player. It will try and negotiate corners to try and reach the target. If it gets close to a player... It will explode. It will also explode after 60 seconds of flying. It spits out grenades every 3 seconds... just to liven things up. Super-Super Nailgun ------------------- Just a souped up version of the SuperNailgun that you get if you have the Super Weapons powerup. Super Rocket Launcher --------------------- If you get the Super Weapons powerup, you get this. Its just like the original, but it spits out lots of grenades, and when it hits something its spits out 5 or so more. Cluster Bomb ------------ This is what you get to replace the Grenade launcher when you have Super Weapons. Fire it and watch everyone die. Please tell me if you are getting packet overflows! Super Lightning Gun ------------------- When you get the Super Weapons powerup, it turns your lightning gun into a bouncy lightning gun. The beam will bounce off walls. Also, if you hit someone with it, then you take their health, and it adds onto yours. BFG --- Hopefully a faithful copy of the original DOOM one, along with the strange firing system so you can fire at a close wall, and kill an emeny far away. To use it, pick up the Lightning gun. Each shot needs 20 cells. To choose the BFG, type IMPULSE 10 To toggle the availability of the BFG, type IMPULSE 22. TripWire -------- Friends of mine said that there was this game called Duck Nukem which had a tripwire, so I decided to write this in. To use the weapon, you must have 5 cells and 5 rockets. Stand against a wall, and type IMPULSE 17. It will bleep, and activate in about one second. If anyone steps into the beam, it will bleep, and blow up at one end with the force of a few rockets. To toggle the availability of the TripWire, type IMPULSE 23. Super-TripWire -------------- If you place a trip-wire with the super-weapon powerup, you get one of these. They are like normal trip-wires, but if anyone comes within close proximitity of it, then it fires off a lightning bolt taking off 5 health. It does this every 2 seconds. Teleport -------- Anyone who has played the classic BBC game Exile will appriciate the Personal Teleporter. type IMPULSE 15 to remember your location, and IMPULSE 16 to teleport to that old location. Teleporting costs 10 cells. You cannot teleport under 'Capture the Flag'. To toggle the availability of the Teleporter, type IMPULSE 24. Toggles ------- To view the toggle setting type 'IMPULSE 20'. To change them type impulse <number> e.g. Impulse 21 to toggle the Timed Bomb. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Teamplay Options: Super-Non-Friendly Fire (teamplay 2 and 3) ----------------------- If you kill a teammate under Teamplay=2, then you explode. If you kill a teammate under teamplay=3 then you explode, and you lose a frag. Useful for people who can't abide by rules. (that's YOU Dario Casali!) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- IT/TI Options: Note that for all these options, everyone starts up as 'IT' or 'TI' However, after a few kills the game settles down to one person as 'IT' or 'TI'. IT (teamplay=4) -- One player is 'IT' this player has a red shirt. Everyone else has a white shirt. If anyone kills 'IT', then he gets three frags instead of the usual one. If 'IT' kills someone, then that person becomes 'IT'. Being 'IT' is therefore bad, because you have no chance of getting bonus frags. 'IT' gets a silver key on his display. This results in a game in which people are trying to kill 'IT', and are (mostly) ignoring each other. If one person is, however, significantly lower in skill than the rest, then, he will invariably end up as 'IT' permanently. TI (teamplay=5) -- 'TI' in my opinion is better than 'IT'. One person is 'TI', and he has a red shirt. Everyone else has a white shirt. The person who is 'TI' gets three kills for everyone he kills. Therefore being 'TI' is good, for you get lots of frags. However, everyone is after 'TI', because when anyone kills 'TI' they become 'TI'. 'TI' gets a gold key on his display. This game, results in a very elitist game. If there is one good person in the game, then he may stay 'TI' for some time, and therefore get a large lead. Quake-TI (teamplay=6) -------- 'Quake-TI' was suggested by Simon Jago (72046.263@compuserve.com). It is similar to 'TI' but instead of 'TI' getting three kills for killing someone, he gets a special 'Quake Power'. The power of the quake power is in ratio to the number of players in the game: Damage multiple = number of players in game. e.g. For 5 players in the game, each shot does 5 times the normal damage. If anyone kills 'TI' then he gets three frags. If a non-ti kills a non-ti, then he just gets the normal one frag. This results in a very interesting and (hopefully) well balanced game. For all the players are after 'TI' to get the quake power and the three frags, so they are not interested in killing each other and only getting one frags, so they all go around being nice to each other, planning Quake-TI's demise. When they meet Quake-TI, and someone kills him, he immediatly becomes Quake-TI and starts gibbing everyone else. I recommend playing DM5, because when you are playing 8 player, and Quake-TI has the lighning gun, its quite a sight! Capture the Flag (teamplay=7) ---------------- Capture the flag is a game of two teams. At the start of the game, the server types 'TEAMPLAY 7' and the players in the game must divide into two teams called 'Silver' and 'Gold' Silver members type 'COLOR 0' Gold members type 'COLOR 1' Now, each team must decide where on the level they want to place their flag. When they have decided, one member of each team types IMPULSE 18 to drop the base. When both teams have dropped their base, then the game automatically starts. The flags are initially placed in their respective bases. When you are placing your base, you cannot do any damage to anything. If you pick up the enemy flag, and you take it back to your base, then you get three frags. If you are killed carrying a flag then you drop it where you die. The flag can then be picked up by either team, if the team that owns the flag picks it up, then it is teleported back to their base. This removes a minor bug of teams being able to 'hog' their flag, meaning that the other team cannot capture it. If you are carrying a flag, you glow. If you want to drop the flag that you are carrying, then type IMPULSE 18. This is so that a well coordinated team can make a human chain to capture the flag efficiently. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other stuff To access multiskin type IMPULSE 201 or IMPULSE 200... you need the new player.mdl for this to work. The auto-suicide kicker will kick someone if they type KILL twice in thirty seconds. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: Keyboard Bindings ----------------- Thoughout this documentation I have said things like: 'type IMPULSE 17' However, I would not recommend that whenever you want to place a tripwire, you enter the console, and manually type 'IMPULSE 17'. This will result in you being killed rather quickly. I recommend that you bind these keys: BIND 9 "IMPULSE 9" (bomb) BIND 0 "IMPULSE 10" (BFG) BIND R "IMPULSE 15" (remember) BIND SHIFT "IMPULSE 16" (for rapid teleports!) BIND CTRL "IMPULSE 17" (tripmine) BIND D "IMPULSE 18" (drop flag) Alterations of other impulse commands ------------------------------------- I have moved IMPULSE 9 to IMPULSE 11, and IMPULSE 10 to IMPULSE 12 and IMPULSE 11 to IMPULSE 13. IMPULSE 14 is unused. Therefore to get all the weapons type 'IMPULSE 11', and to get the Super Weapons, type IMPULSE 12. Why no sounds/models? --------------------- When I started writing this new add-on I decided that it would be made completely server side. This means that a server can run it using QUAKE -GAME DM-PLUS and any client can connect to it, without needing to download any new .WAV files. If I get a lot of demand for new .WAVs or models, I may make some. How to use this --------------- Just in case you don't know how to play new PROGS.DAT files. Make a new directory parallel to ID1 in the QUAKE directory called DM-PLUS and put this new PROGS.DAT in that directory. Then just load quake by typing: QUAKE -game DM-PLUS Comments/bug reports Welcome! ----------------------------- I am releasing this as a PROGS.DAT only because I feel that if anyone wants to see the source, then they can email me. Otherwise, I really get no indication of how many people are using it. Once I have ironed out all the bugs, I will release it with source. Please email me if you have any new ideas for new weapons/teamplay options or anything that you want written in quakeC. Oh, and if anyone from id is reading this, and you like it, then email me please!!! Have fun deathmatching! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version history: 0.8 Released to public ---- 0.9 Second Release: FIXED: Under 'IT' and 'TI', you didnt get the icon on your screen to indicate if you were 'IT' or 'TI'.

If you want to use the source for any of your own add-on, you are welcome to, but please email me to say what it is going to be used for. Also, please give me credit where it is due. Please note that I have not made it at all easy to separate bits from the code (this was not deliberate). However, when I realised that Capture the Flag may be popular, I tried to make it a bit more modular (CAPTURE.QC) so you may have a bit more luck with that. Email me for any assistance.
