Hello,
Beeing a rather poor skilled player, I usually never play Quake on skill 3.
Now that I had to play on skill 3 for testings, I noticed this bug which I never heard or read about before:
In skill 3 the player only does pain sounds every 5 seconds !
That means, that even though monsters attack you, you will keep silent for 5 seconds, which fells really weird, as if the player became dumb.
That is due to changing self.pain_finished value in T_Damage function to 5 seconds. Which should prevent monsters to go into pain frames often in skill 3. But unfortunately that also applies to the player. And the players pain sounds are started independent to its pain animations. So, the player goes into his pain frames as usual (whenever he doesnt fire a weapon) but doesnt "scream", because self.pain_finished is only checked inside his PainSound function.
To correct this, you have to extend this in the T_Damage function:

Code:
if (skill == 3) self.pain_finished = time + 5;
Code:
if ((skill == 3) && (self.classname != "player")) self.pain_finished = time + 5;
But he will get the damage nevertheless (only skips the pain frames).
I love those two additions from Kleshhik. I'm also a big fan of the FEAR like effects and would be a great addition as an extra cvar! On an off topic I also added Zeus bot! I gave monsters realistic vision using a tut over at inside3d and getlight from DP. Also added it to Zeus bot but the results haven't been what I wanted plus Zeus pathing needs to be completely redone but I just don't have the know how currently. With getlight he acts even stranger than before :/ Also removed the shortest pathing as it keep crashing my game.
