Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
I always fool around Quake C when I have the time. One day I thought about this gun,
noone did it, it didn't kill, it was original. So what the heck, why not make it? I
started up my computer and worked on it and within hours (3) I had it, along with
models, and sounds, and having scrambled the whole thing...
Whether you're in a deathmatch, or playing alone, you can use this. You pull out the
Planter Gun, which has moss growing on it, and it shoots balls covered in vines. When
you hit an enemy with this, it will "plant" them. While planted, you can not walk,
jump, or if in water, swim. You can turn around, look up and down, and fire your weapon.
If you are ever planted in a dark corner or area, don't worry, you glow, so people
can see you and kill you.
How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Unzip the zip file into your Quake directory under the folder planter.
then start quake with
quake -game planter
If you want to run a server with this among other weapons and mods, email me,
and I'll be more than happy to give you the source code. If you want to add this
to a combo file, tell me I'll give you the source. In the future, when I have added
all I want, I will give the source out freely.
Future Enhancements
-------------------
I would like daisies to pop up where the keys go on the bar, I have to learn to edit there though.
I would like a daisy to be on the planted person's head, just to be wierd I guess.
A new Planter Gun model, not just a skin.
A new Planter shot model, not just a skin.
A skin of a player entrapped in vines.
More sounds, and a cool new effect.
Author Information
------------------
12 years old. Ummmm, advanced math at school. That's about it...
Copyright and Distribution Permissions
--------------------------------------
In future versions, where I have my source out, I'd like to see people credit me.
Why I won't release the code now
--------------------------------
I wanna play it safe for awhile, I guess. I don't want some guy taking the code and
then saying look at this "Doug", he's trying to steal my code, and then this guy
takes credit for lying? You just can't trust some people... But that's not the real
reason. I don't want to give out a sloppy source code, and I want to have all I want
in first.
