- What is it?
- -----------
- If you do not play multiplayer games, this patch is useless to you.
-
- Shove off! Is an add-on that I made for quake (With QuakeC) that lets you
- shove other players around. (Doesn't seem to work with monsters, but I
- made this patch with Deathmatch/CoOp in mind anyway) Seems that in COOP games
- or team Deathmatch games, a teammate will sometimes pin you in a corner or
- block up a doorway (purely by accident, usually) and get you killed. With
- SHOVE OFF, you can push them out of the way without inflicting any damage on
- them. It's also great for sneaking up on a deathmatch opponent that is
- sniping from a ledge or rooftop. Just give them a good shove if they are over
- lava or slime and they go into the drink.
-
- Installation:
- -------------
- 1. In your Quake directory, make a directory called SHOVE
-
- 2. Copy the PROGS.DAT file from this archive into the SHOVE directory
-
- 3. Copy the CONFIG.CFG file from the ID1 directory into the SHOVE directory
- and add the following line:
-
- BIND SPACE "IMPULSE 20"
- (space makes the spacebar the shove key. You may use
- whichever key you prefer)
-
- 4. Start Quake by typing QUAKE -GAME SHOVE
-
- 5. While playing, push the SPACEBAR (or whichever key you configured) to
- shove other players around (provided you are close enough).
-
- 6. This patch is designed for multiplayer games. Only the computer acting
- as the server has to have this patch! Clients need only bind a key to
- IMPULSE 20 to make use of the patch.
-
-
- Notes:
- ------
- The 'shoving' of the other players is caused by a small, silent, invisible
- radius explosion that does no damage. The explosion radiates from the player
- that triggered it, the explosion also IGNORES the player that triggered it.
-
- You may also use this patch in COOP games to get over certain obstacles. If
- you have a teammate stand in front of you and jump up, you can shove them
- through the air. This is useful for spanning gaps or jumping up into
- windows, etc.
-
- Known Problems:
- ---------------
- Well, the only 'problem' I can think of is that the shove is caused by a
- radius damage call... which 'shoves' everyone within a certain radius. This
- means that you can shove someone when your back is turned to them.
-
- Another 'feature' of this patch... you can and will shove everyone within the
- effective radius, so it's possible to shove 2 or 3 or more people at the
- same time.
-
- Any other problems? Do something really interesting with this patch? EMail me.
