- -------------------QJoe v.1.9---------------------
- by: Joe Sola
- with help+ideas from: Tom Shallon
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- Features:
-
- Killer Heads!!!
-
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- Description:
-
- Every so often, you turn into a killer head when you die that can
- run around, bite, pick-up health, invulnerability, and Quad-Damage.
- If you find an "Instant Body" box, you are teleported back to the
- start with your original body. If you arent a head when you pick
- one of these up, it just gives you some armor.
-
- Also has a seperate sub-routine called "MakeHead" that will turn
- an enemy into a head (use in place of ThrowHead, it works about the
- same) that does everything that the original enemy did. This stuff
- isnt really used here, but it shouldnt be too hard to get it to work.
- In the future i will make it so that all the enemies can do is bite you,
- since its kind of strange having a killer grunt-head firing at you with
- a shotgun that you cant see... i guess im just too lazy to figure it out :)
-
- * * *IMPORTANT* * *
- The file "INSTBODY.MDL" (dont worry, its included) must be in
- this directory:
-
- [drive]:\[quake directory]\QJOE
-
- Otherwise you will get a "file INSTBODY.MDL not PreCached" error

-
- Being a Killer head:
-
- Basically just run around, and try to bite people. you are a LOT smaller,
- and sometimes you have to jump into teleporters instead of just walking
- into 'em. Bring up the console and type IMPULSE 50 to use your teeth when
- you are not a head. If you are tired of being a head, find an Instant Body
- box, which takes the place of the small armor, to be turned back into your
- normal self.
-
- Pros-
- A second chance after you die
- cool biting feature
- a lot smaller.
- come on, whats cooler than being a disembodied head?!?!?!
-
- Cons-
- low health
- not able to use weapons
- not able to pick up armor or invisibility
- a lot smaller. Sometimes this wont help, like when you get
- stuck in small areas
-
