Wasn't there a mod that would allow you to see what weapon your opponent is carrying? I can't remember the name of it, I've been trying all sorts of searches on google to no avail.

[metchsteekle]

try DME [death match essentails]

you can also find stuffs on it at quakeworld.nu

[hexed6]

That's the one, thanks. Can this be made to work with servers like runequake?

For all practical purposes no. No the server has to support it. Rook has been looking into making his CTF compatible with it though.

Thanks for the info. :d

Thanks for the info. :d

yeah dude, DME is a great mod. you can even crouch and there's a nice animation to go along with it. you'll also notice chunks of something flying out of a wall or floor when you fire at it. metchsteekle is referring to the great KTX mod on Quakeworld that allows you too see other player's weapons. there is one popular server I know of that has it.

you can either download the vweps from that server or go here

http://qwplayers.org/oldman/vwep-mdls.zip *edit* this url broke >=oO

also, check out my thread. I was trying to make Plagues models into w models. I was also going to do PrimeviL's double barrel shotgun.

http://www.quakeworld.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=33763

the problem is, its a pain in the ass to position them right in the player's hands. I might pick up on the project again, but there is a popular download for my w_rock2 which is basically Plague's g_rock2 model modified with the 24-bit texture =]

it still needs some work, as far as scaling and positioning.

server how to

So I have a quakeworld server that I want to enable vweps on. How do I do this? I get the impression I need a mod that has vweps so which is a good one that is ffa and has vweps enabled?

any help would be great I am a noob quaker but want to get back into this immortal game Long Live Quake!

make sure you have an MVDSV server. there's a version with KTX built in and KTX already has vwep support. so you're good to go with that. I saw your question on my vwep package page too

p.s.

it will be real nice to have an ffa server with vwep support again. where is the server located?

[Trickle]

KTX - Files - QW-DEV.net

go here

Thanks a million LocknLoad aka Trickle. Your a big help great work on this pack of excellent models. I look forward to enjoying them on my server.

You rock!

I got ktx server up and running and I'm using the ffa script which I configured to the settings I wanted, and k_vwep cvar is set to 1 which leads me to believe that vweps are enabled but alas no vweps client side. I am running ezquake 1.9.2 and have the vwep package installed and it isn't working for some reason. I have a few threads going at the ktx site. If I get it working I'll let everyone know the I.P. for my server so we can have some ffa vwep fun!

[Trickle]

thanks man, update us on when you have it all set and ready to go!

[Govik_420]

Well just because I can't see it client side doesn't mean someone who has it configured right can't. the server I.P. is 76.27.10.117:27500 let me know if you have vweps working client side on my server than I at least know it's my client side not server side. not a lot of activity on my server atm this is mostly for fun I am new to linux and am trying to learn how to do servers and what not. I have been toying mostly with SRCDS and just got into quake servers when I found the vweps and now desire to get that going. I just like to figure stuff out on my own. anything I don't know how to do I just google and so far have been able to get most things working.

P.S. Let me know if you can't join my server and I'll try and get it figured out some people have joined my qwsv when I was using that. Thanks for the KTX link I really like the things it has to offer and am looking forward to toying with it and it's features. the ktx sites wiki has a lot of the descriptions on commands missing which is aggravating trying to figure this vwep stuff out but I usually don't quit till I get it working. also this is running on my LAN and using my internet but I have broadband Comcast at 8 mbps down and about 3 mbps up so for the quake engine designed for dial up modem it should be enough. I was running a Counter-Strike Source server on this internet and with 6 people it was handling it fairly well. so I don't think bandwidth should be an issue. let me know what anyone thinks about anything I have said or any suggestions I would greatly appreciate.

[Govik_420]

It's working!

I got the vweps to work you have to add these cvars in your cfg.

serverinfo vwep      1
set k_allow_vwep    1

I am still working out a few issues like WAN: sv_serverip & LAN: sv_serverip so that all you guys out there can join and I can still join LAN side.

Hope to have all the kinks worked out soon enough I'll get back to ya and let you know.

[Govik_420]

Okay the servers are up but still working out some "kinks" I started a new thread for my servers here is a link to that thread

P.S. I hope I am allowed to link to a thread on the same forum. if not please take appropriate action!
