Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
This patch is an addition to the Severed Limbs patch that TLG put
out. I dcided to add in the Airfist and the Grapple Hook (The
good one that allows one to use their weapons freely), and I
changed the rules on health boxes to fit my needs, and to make it
a bit more playable.
Well, you can read the included player.txt for info on how the
rules USED to be.... but NOW... if you have a severed limb...
you can regrow your limb by simply getting your health back up
to 100. If your health is already above 100, simply picking
up any health box will heal your broken limb. The MegaHealth
will always regen BOTH limbs if lost.
You can also always pick up health. If you health is above
100, the normal health boxes will give you 5 more health.
Also, the grappling hook and the airfist are added in for added
fun! See the Technical Details below on how to use them in the
game!
How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Make a new dir in your quake directory (ie c:\games\quake\severedplus).
Copy this archive into that directory, then unzip it. This is a
pak file, so you won't need to use -d...
Then from the \quake dir. type:
quake -game severedplus
Technical Details
-----------------
There will be 3 aliases that will automatically be sent to clients
that connect.
1) +hook and -hook will be aliased to impulse 98 and impulse 97
(this allows you to keep the grapple hook active while the
key that you bind to +hook is pressed, and will automatically
release when you let go of the key!)
2) af will be aliased to switch to the airfist, fire once, then
switch back to your previous weapon.
3) sphelp will be aliased to the built-in help for SeveredPlus
There are additional impulses... here's what they are....
Impulse What It Does
--------------------------------------------------------------
2 Will select the shotgun, then the Airfist
You can tell the airfist is selected when
the shotgun is not highlighted, and you
see the totally cool new graphics in front
of you!
47 Automatically switch to the Airfist
48 Switch from the airfist to your previous
weapon
97 Turns off the grapple hook
98 Fires the grapple hook
191 Severs one of your limbs. used for
testing
192 Activates sphelp screen
Known Bugs
-----------------
None that I know of... but I haven't tested it too well.
Dunno if this counts, but the admin code won't work until
I release the source. (1.0)
