Title : Original Robot Skins for the Reaper Bot Filename : roboreap.zip Version : 1.0 (for Reaper Beta 0.8) Date : 12/11/96 Author : Mr Clare, Deceased Email : sml@cableol.co.uk Credits : id software, naturally, and Steven Polge for making one of the best patches I've ever used since I started playing Doom, let alone Quake. Build time: about 10-15 hours for the Skins Type of Mod ----------- Quake C : no Sound : no MDL : yes Description of the Modification ------------------------------- This .MDL includes 5 skins for use with the Reaper Bot. One is the player character, obviously. The other four are based on a robot design I created. When I first heard about the bots for quake, images of machines running around destroying everything in sight came to mind. I've tried to make the main design similar to that of a robot designed for war. Which Skins are which? ---------------------- The Skins follow the Skin Specifications for the Reaper Bots. However, due to myself only having 8mbs of RAM, I had to restrict myself, and thus could not include as many robot designs as I wanted. If there is significant interest in this .MDL, then I'll design a full 16-skin version with several more robot designs and variations. Skill Description ------------------------------------------------------- No Skins Player Skin 0 (Easy) Soldier/Red Robot, glowing red eyes, edges of head and edges of armour. Trousers, belt and logo change colour. Grey boots 1 (Medium) Solder/Black Robot, glowing yellow eyes and edge of head. Trousers belt and logo change colour. Grey boots 2 (Hard) Sergeant/Black Robot, fluoroscent eyes, edge of head, shoulders and trousers. Boots, belt and logo change colour. 3 (Nitemare) Commander/Black Robot. Almost completely pitch black, with grey eyes, outline and head. No logo. No belt. Gun is completely grey. Black boots If you want more robots, I have a ton more ideas up my sleeve How to Install the Modification ------------------------------- First, you'll need a copy of the Reaper patch. This can be obtained from :- ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames2/quakec/bots/reaper/reapr08b.zip Follow the installation instructions in that zip file for the reaper bot. Next, you'll need to install the .mdl. Make a directory in you reaper bot directory called progs. Move the .mdl in there. Simple as that! Author Information ------------------ This is the first, and hopefully not the last skins I do. Hopefully in the future I'll also do some more skins and maybe some replacement skins. I was gonna do a Marilyn Manson Quake, but it appears a project is already in the works.
