GETTING STARTED
(QuakeWorld Version)
If you are using ThunderWalker as a client, setup is realtively painless. If you are going to run it as a server, there is a little more work to be done. It is assumed that you are familiar with running CTF4.0 as either client or server, as appropriate.
CLIENT SETUP
1. Unzip the TWCL_21.ZIP file into your ../quake/ctf directory. DO NOT make a seperate directory for ThunderWalker. TW is an addon for Zoid's classic CTF, and all files must go in the same directory. With luck, all of the files should fall into the right directories. If you use PKUnzip, use the -d parameter.
2. That's about it. Remember that this is an "addon" patch to 3waveCTF, so everything goes into the same directory as CTF3 and CTF4, and you will need to have CTF3 and CTF4 also installed. Fire up your QuakeWorld client on any TW server and go to town.
SERVER SETUP
1. You need both the TWCL_21.ZIP and TWSV_21.ZIP files. The client archive has all the sounds, models and maps. The second has the source code, a sample server.cfg, and a pre-compiled qwprogs.dat. If you haven't downloaded them yet, you will also need the CTF 3.5 and CTF 4.0 files, for the maps sounds and models in them as well. They are at http://www.planetquake.com/threewave/htdocs/c4dl.html.
2. Unzip the TWCL_21.ZIP file into your ../quake/ctf directory. With luck, all of the files should fall into the right directories. If you use PKUnzip, use the -d parameter.
3. Unzip the TWSV_21.ZIP files. This contains the source code in the "twqwctf" directroy along with a precompiled qwprogs.dat. There are also several "*.ent" files which go into the "maps" directory. For your convienience, the CTF 3/4 .ent files are included.
4. Patch all of the TW entity files into their respective BSP files. This will update weapon and armor placements on various maps so they are better equiped for ThunderWalker's modifications. For your convienience, a seperate TWSTART.ENT file is available. If you patch this one in, the DeathMatch levels will be disabled from the start map. To prevent accidents, the file has been named TWSTART.EN2; just rename as appropriate.
5. Edit the server.cfg, if you so wish, to fit your configuration. You most assuredly will want to change the name of the server from "Generic_Thunderwalker_2.1-CTF". We ask that you please leave "ThunderWalker" or "TW" in the name of your server so people know what kind of CTF they are connecting to.
6. Drop a note to thunderwalker@quake.crashing.org so that we can add your server to the list of sites running TW servers.
7. Fire up your server using the command "qwsv +gamedir ctf".
