Title : Boba Fett Player Model Version 1.0 Filename : Fettmdl.zip Version : 1.0 Date : 18 March 97 Author : Chris Connelly AKA Co0KiEmAn Email : connelly@ix.netcom.com Web site : http://www.itsnotupyet.com Credits : Rob Albin for the original Chase camera patch Type of Mod ----------- Quake C : yes Sound : no MDL : yes Format of QuakeC ---------------- unified diff : yes, (QC ver 1.07) context diff : no .qc files : no progs.dat : yes, (ver 1.07) Well, I'm stuck home another Wendnesday night, and I decided to design a skin based off the blockbuster bountyhunter. Personally, most of the Boba Skins really sucked hard in my opinion and did not capture the realistic synical look portrayed in the movies. <> 1.Just unzip the pak file into a sub directory off of quake, ie c:\quake\boba 2.Now, run quake with a -boba tag or whatever directory you stuck the pak in 3.If you wish to see the external view of boba, just type "impulse 30" at the console (hit the tilde key) 4.Sit back and send in any suggestions you feel would help improve upon this project to connelly@ix.netcom.com Note: I only included the chase camera Quake C patch so that you could see the skin in single player mode. Oh and no, I removed the glow in dark colors from Boba's skin so that he maintains a stealth appearance in the dark. Bugs: The edges are a little rough at the moment ======================================================================= Chris Connelly ========================================== | ,dP""8a "888888b, d8b "888b ,888" | | 88b " 888 d88 dPY8b 88Y8b,8888 | | `"Y8888a 888ad8P'dPaaY8b 88 Y88P888 | | a Y88 888 dP Y8b 88 YP 888 | | `"8ad8P'a888a a88a;*a888aa88a a888a | | | <===Just say no! >=| | ;*;;;;*;;;*;;;*,, | | _,---'':::';*;;;*;;;*;;*d;, | | .-' ::::::::::';*;;*;dII; | | .' ,<<<,. :::::::::::::::ffffff`. | | ' ,<<. :::::::::::::::ffffff.. | | "-_____''::::::::::::::::fffff.. | ========================================== Co0KiEmAn '97 ======================================================================= <<> Thanks again to Rob Albin (albinatr@apci.net) Description of the Modification ------------------------------- impulse 30 View-point toggle (Chase view, Normal view) impulse 31 Laser-targeter toggle (Standard, Glowing, off) impulse 200 multiskin impulse up impulse 201 multiskin impulse down Multiskin v1.1 -The server code for Multiskin v1.1 by Dennis Noordsij is built in, the player.mdl is not included, but if you have the player.mdl, you can add it to this game as described in Multiskin. Auto switching -Chase view temporarily auto disables while in water. Quake does not like to track the view between water surfaces. So the chase view avoids it like the plague :) Multi Player -Chase eyes are visible behind a player when in chase view. Haven't run any tests yet, but I've heard it works fine for MP. Single Player -In single player only, your current settings for the targeter and view are saved between levels. (ver40: Also saves HUD state) (Only saves when switching levels, not if you die and restart - they'll auto-switch to what they were when you first entered) **** Thanks to: David Weiden Eric Fisher pLaGuE, http://lonestar.texas.net/~plague/ Steve Nadeau Giles Gregg Alan Dabiri For many good ideas and the positive feedback. **** ---------------- IMPULSE SUMMARY ---------------- (from weapons.qc) // ### chase cam mods ### else if (self.impulse == 30) Toggle_chase_cam(); else if (self.impulse == 31) LaserTargeterToggle( self ); else if (self.impulse == 34) Chase_cam_change_dist(0); // minus else if (self.impulse == 35) Chase_cam_change_dist(1); // plus else if (self.impulse == 36) Chasecam_find_monster(0); // minus else if (self.impulse == 37) Chasecam_find_monster(1); // plus // ### hot key weapon mod ### else if (self.impulse == 40) HotKey_previous_weapon(); else if (self.impulse == 41) HotKey_weapon(1); // axe else if (self.impulse == 42) HotKey_weapon(2); // grenade else if (self.impulse == 43) HotKey_weapon(3); // rocket else if (self.impulse == 44) HotKey_CycleWeaponCommand(); else if (self.impulse == 45) HotKey_CycleWeaponReverseCommand(); // ### HUD mod ### else if (self.impulse == 50) Spawn_HUD_entity(self); // ### Multiskin v1.1 ### else if (self.impulse == 200) Choose_multiskin(0); // up else if (self.impulse == 201) Choose_multiskin(1); // down [ver 4.0 updates] -TRACKING nailed!!! :-) -no more vertical offset variable (still held over for spy tracking function), adjusts based on distance to player. -Reworked down aiming adjustments, pulls forward and down with a smoother grade. A 3rd person view will never be as efficient as a 1st person view in a fight, but IMO, this ver. is pretty close :-) -Variable player jumping height Aiming all the way down to eye level has no effect, and jumps with default velocity. Aiming up increases the height based on how high your looking when you jump. -HUD (impulse 50) This is a hack of course, since there's no way in QC to do a real HUD. Only enabled in SP, since it takes over the message area and turns it into a static display. Refreshes every 2.5 seconds to keep on screen, or immediately on a number change. (Displays current weapon abbreviations in chase views.) [ver 3.6 updates] (all updates to spy view) -Fixed player not being able to take damage while in spy view. -View angles line up properly when shifting between different targets and back to player view. -Being able to fire your guns in spy view fixed from version 3.5. (I forgot to un-rem the lines in W_Attack() after some debugging.) [ver 3.5 updates] -Fixed the view switching for the spy view. Instead of switching back and forth from the player it cycles straight through targets. Since the forward/back impulses don't switch back, the toggle for the chasecam (impulse 30) will disable either view. ---------------- HOT-KEY WEAPONS ---------------- Provides hot-key impulses for axe, grenade, and rocket launcher that return to previous weapon. New cycle weapons impulses that don't select these weapons. (NOTE: if you don't use the new impulses, the original weapons' behavior is unchanged. An optional thing.)

In DM or coop, cycles through other living players on level. Email me if you find any problems with the DM stuff. DM note: When hit in spy view, you take the damage and flip back to normal view. The damage is accurate, but will never drop your health below 1. (Dying in the middle of transition to normal view tested out as buggy.) ----------------------------- CHASE VIEW DISTANCE CHANGING ----------------------------- impulse 34 lower distance impulse 35 increase distance chasecam.qc file line to change for permanently modifying default distance and offset (near top of file, this will only work if you have the 1.06 QC source code and compile your own progs.dat from the included source files.): // defaults reset every time level starts // (ver40: chasecam_zofs has no effect on player tracking view) float chasecam_dist = 118, chasecam_zofs = 24; How to Install the Modification ------------------------------- Make a sub-directory in quake called 'chasecam' and copy the new PROGS.DAT to it. Copy autoexec.cfg, config.cfg, and quake.rc from 'id1' into 'chasecam' if they exist. add: bind "" "impulse 30" bind "" "impulse 31" bind "" "impulse 200" bind "" "impulse 201" to autoexec.cfg From directory 'quake' type: quake -game chasecam ************************************** * NEED TO READ * ************************************** Known Bugs: In certain spots walls will dissappear when view is up against them, rare. (Testing location: starting hall e3m7) Under testing every once in a while it still can disable the fire key from restarting the level if you die. Usually if your view gets hung up when you swing your view around crazy-like after your dead (like for testing :) *** Type 'restart' at the console if this happens *** Very rare, when it happens your carcass comes back to life standing up. Time to bring down the console. Copyright and Distribution Permissions -------------------------------------- Authors MAY use these modifications as a basis for other publically available work.
