- Description of the Modification
- -------------------------------
-
- (Data, engage tractor beam.)
- Ever wanted to just throw your DeathMatch enemy for a quick lava bath? Ever
- wanted to get him up high in the air and then release him, falling to his
- death? Now you can, with the Tractor Beam. Just change to tractor beam mode
- and grab the motherfunker. He will be paralysed and you can do whatever you
- wish with him. He will remain paralyzed half a second after you release him.
-
- How to Install the Modification
- -------------------------------
-
- Very simple:
- 1. Create a directory named TRACBEAM under your QUAKE directory by typing:
-
- MD TRACBEAM
-
- when in your QUAKE directory.
-
- 2. Unzip the files in the archive into that directory with your favorite
- unzipping software. Make sure you unzip with subdirectories. If you use
- PKUNZIP just type:
-
- PKUNZIP TRACBEAM.ZIP TRACBEAM -d
-
- again, in your QUAKE directory.
-
- 3. Copy all the .QC and .SRC files from Quake C into the TRACBEAM\SRC directory,
- excpet for WEAPONS.QC and DEFS.QC . You can get Quake C in the archive named
- QCC.ZIP, on www.stomped.com, ftp.stomped.com or ftp.cdrom.com .
-
- 4. Compile the QC files by typing:
-
- ..\..\QUAKEC\QCCDOS.EXE
-
- Given that you put the QCCDOS.EXE from QCC.ZIP in the directory named
- QUAKEC under your QUAKE directory. Otherwise, type in the path to it.
-
- 5. Run Quake like this:
-
- QUAKE.EXE -game TRACBEAM
-
- 6. In Quake, use L to toggle tractor beam/lightning mode.

- metal.
- (I'm not going to release this one)
- The Tracer - Shoot this at a monster or player and it beeps, as
- the beeps get louder, the closer you are, great for
- ambushes.
