217 PwrGuns cvar’s for server hosts to play with.

 

There are over 30 ways to kill in Pwrguns.

 

8 client bind options

 

========

In version 3

========

v    Fixed

 

• Fixed Health cvar

I had to leave the max helth at 100 cuz of q3's crazy code, in stead i used the "anything over 100" part of the for raising and lowering health.

Fixed starthealth (starhealth counts down now you can set it as high as 999 but will count down to 100) this fix also fixed the weapons damage factor so all weapons will only do the damage they are cvard to do.

 

If you want a starthealth of 100 then set starthealth 0, if you want a starthealth of 90, set starthealth to -10, 80 would be -20 and so on (this is good for istagib) try about -70 which would give you 30 health.

 

• Fixed cluster bfg travel

 They are horizontal again.

 

• Fixed weapon positioning for

Flamethrower, vortexgun, crossbow.

 

• Fixed Turrets

Turret_frate cvar works like it should (fire rate).

Turrets wont shoot at dead players

Turrets wont kill themselve’s anymore (they don’t shoot down either)

Turrets wont shoot invisible players

Balanced weapons damage (cvar.cfg) to coinside with starthealth 100 cvar

 

• Fixed vortex shader error (for real this time)

Ø     Note!

All cvars in the bg_pmove.c module, work better if you adjust the values in the cvar.cfg before you start the server, there is no fix for this.

The p_move cvars are:

ü      All firerates

ü      Change_jump

ü      Hookpullspeed

PwrGuns beta update

355 kb

You must download and install PwrGuns beta first.

Then just unzip this to your quake3 directory, it will find its way.

Contents

1. Pak1.pk3
2. A readme
3. This will not mess up your cfgs.

 

1. Fixed cant find sound/weapons/proxmine/wavs

2. Replaced console background/logo

2. Changed console background

3. Fixed vortex shader error

 

*Added option for random respawn

(now instead of falling off the edge or into the fog of death and either dying or just standing there needing to hook out, the server host can decide weather 1. you dye when you fall 2. you randomly respawn somewhere on the map when you fall, using the  seta nooooo cvar.)

 

Added change weapon position (gen_drawweapon x (1-2-3))

(Just like in q2 )

 

Typing:

gen_drawweapon 1 in the console make you hold a weapon lefthanded

gen_drawweapon 2 in the console make you hold a weapon centerhanded

gen_drawweapon 3 in the console make you hold a weapon righthanded

 

Or you can put it in your q3config.cfg like

 

seta gen_drawweapon "1"

 

Or whichever way you want it

 

Default is 2 (center)          

Thanks to Firestarter for giving me his teleporting code a while back, I just simplified it and finally got it to work:)

TheCorkscrew mod

And thank you   Code 3 Arena for all your tutorials.

Code 3 Arena

 

 

And just to let ya know, as for default pwr of the guns, I lowered them considerably, if you want instagib

 Use the starthealth cvar and lower everyone’s health. Raise starthealth if you think the guns are too strong. Then you can just edit the single guns at your leisure.

 

BINDS:

 

bind x belt                  gives ya  an antigravity belt

Bind x +button5          gives you the grapple

bind x detonate           lets you detonate grenades at will

bind x  spawnturret     lets you spawnturrets

bind x  +button6         for altfire

bing x  fire                  for change fire mode

(x can be whatever key you choose)

 

I have included an autoexec.cfg with everything bound to Y, U, I, O, P and L. For when ppl come on the server and don’t have a clue as to wa bind is, you can tell them to push:

v     bind y "+button5"    //binds the grapple to the y key

v     bind u "detonate"    //binds the u key to detonate grenades if enabled

v     bind i "belt"        // binds  the i key to the antigravitybelt

v     bind o "fire"        //binds the k key to Change firmode

v     bind p "+button6"    //binds the p key to altfire

v     bind l "spawnturret" //binds the p key to turrets

 

Believe me a lot of ppl don’t have a clue

Note! I don’t think the autoexec is working tho.

            The Super Shotgun

The ssgun  is the default model that came with q3a. I t has 3 fire modes.  The main fire shoots normal sshotgun pellets at a hyper rate. The alt_fire shoots rockets with a velocity speed so fast you cannot see the rockets fly. With the change fire mode it shoots explosive pellets.  Cvars:

I used the lightning gun model for the weapon and the gauntlet barrel model for the blades.

 

            The Grappling Hook

Has the same fire mode no matter what you do. It is in visible and likes the phrase “Quake III Arena” (hehe). Cvars:

 

• seta offhandhook    "1"           // 1=on      //0=off
• seta hookhurt       "1"           // 1=on      //0=off
• seta hookspeed      "10000"       //800        //10000
• seta hookdamage     "100"         //na         //100
• seta hookpullspeed  "8000"        //800        //8000

 

It has instagib like damage as default, but very hard to hook someone.

 

            The Turrets

Had 2 fire modes also (cvars). The default fire modes are grenades (and slow). The server host optional fire modes are fast rockets. This is very good auto aiming defense weapon, if enabled on the server. Cvar’s:

 

• seta turret           "1"           //na          //0=off 1=on
• seta turret_damage    "50"          //na          //100
• seta turret_spldam    "50"          //na          //100
• seta turret_splrad    "150"         //na          //150
• seta turretm_speed    "1000"        //na          //700
• seta ammolife         "2500"        //na          //2500
• seta turret_frate     "700"         //na          //700
• seta turret_health    "1000"        //na          //300
• seta maxTurrets       "3"           //na          //3
• seta reward           "0"           //na          //0=off 1=on
• seta longrange        "0"           //na          //0=off 1=on
• seta tfire2           "0"           //na          //0=off 1=on
• seta fullarc          "1"           //na          //0=off 1=on
• seta fragturrets      "1"           //na          //0=off 1=on
• seta musthave         "100"         //na           //300

 

This is a modified clone of a single player turret from STVOYEF.

 

==================

Turret description

==================

The turret model is a modified clone from STVOYEF single player, it is solid and can’t be moved through, if it’s not yours or your teammates it will shoot you...

 

.... Its firing range is 500 units (you will learn quickly what that means;))

 

.... From center and then right to left it will turn 120 degrees

 

.... It will point up 90 degrees

 

.... It will point down 30 degrees

 

So watch where you place them (so they don’t blow them selves up or someone sneak’s up behind them). (Use the "zoom" Luke!)

 

==================

 To place a turret

==================

Whichever way you are standing when you spawn a turret, is the way a turret will face when it spawns.

 

When you push you key for spawning the turret, move away from that location, cuz a turret will not spawn if, you, another player, an item, an item spawn point or anything is in the way.

 

================

Killing a turret

================

A turret is made up of 2 parts, the base (invisible) and the turret (the weapon model), and has health like any other player.

 

 You can shoot the weapon model all day long and nothing will happen, but shoot at the invisible base under it (and you will hear a clicking sound when you hit it) and when it runs out of health it explodes.

Cvar Key

• There is only 1 ammo cvar for each weapon
• Rate's are for main fire even if fire mode is on
• 2_rate's are for altfire even if fire mode is on
•  
• anything with a _damage, is for how much damage that firemod does
• anything with a _spldam , is for how much splash damage
• _splrad = splash radius
• _lvltime = ammolife
• _speed = the speed the missile flys
• _rate = how fast the ammo releases form the gun
• _suck = is for how fast the vortex will suck players to it
• _ chain_damage = is for the bfg chain/flame damage
• _ammo =  sets start ammo for each gun

•  
• seta home  =  sets how long before rockets quit homing

• seta hrange  =  how far away the rockets will detect players
• seta selfdamage     "0"           //0.5          //0
• Set this to 0 to shut off self damage (if it set to 1 you will take damage if you rocketjump or are to close to what you shoot
•  
• seta dethseen       "100"         //1700         //100=instant respawn
• This will bypass the death seen every time you die and acts like an instant respawn (must hold down the main fire button)
•  
• seta change_jump    "470"         //270          //470
• change the jump height
•  
• seta nooooo         "0"           //0=nodeath    //1=death
• Is for them space maps everyone falls off, setting this to 0 means you wont die when you fall down you can frag on or hook out, lightning jump out, or type kill, also works for the fog of death on other maps
•  

• seta maxTurrets       sets how many turrets a player may have
• seta reward           the longer you stay alive the more turrets you get
• seta longrange        sets a longer player detect range
• seta tfire2           optional fire mode
• seta fullarc          does not limit  how far the turrets can turn (horizontally)
• seta fragturrets      turrets die when owner dies

• seta musthave         "100"         sets amount of health you need to spawn a turret
•  
•  
• seta pickgun        "4"           //1-11,14         
• You decide what weapon everyone spawns with (in there hands)
• Means by choosing 1-11 or 14 will determine which weapon everyone spawns with in there hand when they enter the map (weather they are just starting or they die and respawn)
• 0=no weapon
• 1=gauntlet
• 2=machinegun
• 3=shotgun
• 4=grenadelauncher
• 5=rocketlauncher
• 6=lightninggun
• 7=railgun
• 8=plazmagun
• 9=bfg
• 10=grapplegun
• 11=crossbow
• 14= vortexgun
• Any other number will make the game crash , cuz there are no others yet

 

Everything else cvar is pretty much self explanatory.

DMFLAGS:

=========

For start weapons:

 

seta start_weapons 1023  starts with all weapons

1=machinegun

+

2=shotgun

+

4=grenade launcher

+

8=rocket launcher

+

16=lightning gun

+

32=railgun

+

64=plasmagun

+

128=bfg

+

256=vortexgun

+

512=crossbow

=

1023

 

Just like the q2flags add the numbers together to get the weapons ya want to start with (1023 starts with all weapons) if you just want rail only then it would be seta start_weapons 32,,if you wanted the shotgun, rocket launcher and the plasmagun,,add those 3 numbers together to  get 74 so seta start_weapons 74 for them weapons

 

For banning weapons:

 

seta weapflags 255

//cannot ban the sword

1=machinegun

2=shotgun

4=grenade launcher

8=rocket launcher

16=lightning gun

32=railgun

64=plasmagun

128=bfg

 

There is no world vortex or crossbow

 

Just like the q2flags add the numbers together to get the world weapon pickups ya want to ban (255 bans all world weapon pickups)

 

 

for banning ammo:

seta ammoflags 255

 

1= mg bullits

2=sg shells

4= grenades

8= rockets

16= lightning

32= rg slugs

64= pg cells

128=bfg ammo

There is no world vortex or crossbow ammo.

Just like the q2flags add the numbers together to get the world ammo ya want to ban (255 bans all ammo pickups)

 

 

 

For banning items:

 

seta banned_items #

1=armor shards

2= “ combat

4= " body

8= health small

16= health

32= health large

64=  " mega

128= teleporter

256= medkit

512= quad

1024=enviro

you got it now right

 

for banning runes:

seta runeflags #

1=haste

2=invis

4=regen

6=flight

yup same

 

Installation;

Just extract this zip into your q3 directory, if you have a previous version of PwrGuns remove/delete/or rename the existing PwrGuns folder this zip will create a new one.

 

 

FOR SINGLE PLAYER

 

You can use the “mods” thingy in the menu or you can do it the old fashion way.

 

Example:

C:\quake3\quake3.exe +set fs_game Pwrweapons +exec server.cfg +addbot sarge 1 1 1 1 +addbot mynx 1 1 1 1 + addbot crash 1 1 1 1 + addbot ranger 1 1 1 1 +addbot lucy 1 1 1 1

 

(Explanations)

addbot [botname] [skill 1-4] [team] [msec delay] [altname]

 

[botname] - This is the name of the underlying bot from which Quake will pull behavior characteristics
[skill 1-4] - Skill level of the bot
[team] - If you will be playing a team DM or CTF game, enter 'Red' or 'Blue' to specify to which team the bot will belong
[msec delay] - This simulates milliseconds of ping experienced by the bot
[altname] - You can assign a new name for the bot. Instead of always fragging janeway, you can use the janeway bot and rename her Gretchen. Remember that you can't have any spaces in the name. The final line will look like this:

 

/addbot ranger 4 blue 100 wimpy

 

 

To create a short cut right click your quake.exe and then create shortcut cut and paste to your desktop, then right click the short cut, click properties and put the above line in where it says target

 

For a dedicated server right click the pwrweapons.bat , then click edit  and change the path to where your q3 is located
