Painkeep modification

[~kev~]

Does anyone remember the Painkeep modification? I did a search of the forum and did not see any threads about it.

Painkeep was a multiplayer - quakeworld mod that had all kinds of sound effects and extra "toys."

There was a bear trap - you could pick up a bear trap and throw it out for other people to step on. Once a player stepped on a bear trap, it would start taking their health away. One way to get the bear trap off of you was to shoot it with your RL. Which did not work to good if you were low on health or had quad damage.

Sentry gun - a much smaller version of the team fortress sentry and was not user friendly. When you used it, you better run because it would shoot anything that moved.

Some kind of black hole, time warp thing - this thing looked funky, it was like a gieger counter with a big speaker on the end.

When I first started playing quake 1, and qukeworld, one of the first servers I ever played on was running painkeep. Even at the prime of quakeworld, there were only a few servers running this modification.

I play it still and make vweps for it.

there's two active servers

Weenieville Painkeep 666 - weenieville.net:27500

this server has a heavily modified version of PK

IMHO Painkeep was a really fun mod to play and had a slightly different dynamic to conventional (vanilla) Quake. It had pretty much all of the standard weapons plus extras such as the following:

ChainLightning gun
Airfist
Bouncing Nails.
Exploding shells for your Double barrel shotgun (mightily powerful with Quad)
Beartraps (can only carry 3 at one time)
Autosentries ((can only carry 3 at one time)
Gravity Wells (which when set would suck everything not nailed down in to oblivion)
Harpoon Gun (similar to the Hook except it could pull Ammo, weapons, etc towards you)
And the ever popular can'o'beans. (= Extra Health plus farts galore)

There was a map voting hub plus 20 painkeep maps which at the time was a whole new world outside of the standard quake maps.

You should find a little more information here, and get the mod from evolve here

I did try to persuade a few of the coders here in to merging the best bits of the Painkeep and DeathMatch Plus mods together but they did really whacky things like develop a real life outside of Quake. However, I live in hope that one day R00k or C*S might feel generous Imagine it playing vanilla DM Quake and voting on the Deathmatch weapons - then, if that weren't fun enough being able to vote on the Painkeep weapons AS WELL. Sounds like good fun to me.

Hope this helps
