- Description of the Modification
- -------------------------------
- Quake Plus is a combination of different Quake enhancements making the
- game more realistic by utilizing a "use" key to activate, get or drop!
- Only few impulse keys are needed to access all extra features, a quite
- reasonable teammode is set up without console commands and too power-
- ful weapons and powerups are avoided:
-
- * pressing "use" while touching buttons or doors activates them
- (you wanted the good old use key back, now you got it)
-
- * pressing "use" while touching items picks them up or kicks them
- (no more wasting of health or ammo by accidently getting it)
-
- * pressing "use" while touching players and monsters kicks them
- (regards to AsmodeusB alias Shawn Kohlsmith)
-
- * just multiple pressing "use" drops a backpack filled with
- - the Silver Key when carried and the Axe is active
- - the Gold Key when carried and the Shotgun is active
- - some used armor when the Axe is active and armor is over 75
- - a health box when the Shotgun is active and health is over 75
- - the active weapon and some ammo in any other case
- (regards to Steve Bond, John Guthrie and AsmodeusB)
-
- * health, armor and backpacks are solid and shootable
- (so you better fight more careful, regards to Foobar)
-
- * players drop both keys, powerups and armor on death
- (regards to AsmodeusB alias Shawn Kohlsmith)
-
- * grunts, ogres and enforcers drop random ammo on death
- (regards to AsmodeusB Shawn alias Kohlsmith)
-
- * corpses and crucified zombies are solid and gibbable
- (*not complete*, regards to Jason Carter and Jeff Eppler)
-
- * player and monster heads are now solid and gibbable
- (regards to AsmodeusB alias Shawn Kohlsmith)
-
- * hitting dogs or grunts with the axe turns them friendly
- (regards to Jeff Eppler and Sto)
-
- * grenades act also as proximity mines and can be shot
- (regards to Jonathan Avraham and PVP)
-
- * rockets act as homing missiles which flare when they miss
- (regards to Vhold and Steve Bond)
-
- * color changes are only possible while the player is dead
- (regards to Shawn Schultz and John Spickes)
-
- * teammate kills cost -3 frags with autodeath below -10
- (regards to Josh Spickes and Allen Seger)
