Quake 2 Configuration Script ============================ Version: Release 1 Date: January 5, 1998 Author: Suicidal-Sniper Site: None Introduction ------------ Well this is the first script set of mine that I have made public, hopefully you will find it as useful as I do in playing Quake 2. I will state now that I do not know how this script will perform in DM over the Internet. It works fine in a LAN, but I haven't had much success lately connecting to a Internet Server. Also, the script file has been designed around how I prefer to play Quake 2, feel free to redesign the keyboard layout to suit your playing style. On a side note, some of this script is already being made for Team Fortress 2. Although nothing has been released concerning special commands, I still have added what I can. It isn't hard to change it back to normal DM variables. Installation ------------ Simply unzip ssv1.zip into your "quake2/baseq2" directory and then enter the game and type "exec ss.cfg" in the console. Also, you can edit the autoexec.cfg and place at the bottom of the file "exec ss.cfg" if you so wish. Key Setup --------- Below are the descriptions of all the keys for this script. The setup is divided into logical groups of keys and should be pretty straight forward. The key groups and keys within each group are arranged to the order in which they appear on my keyboard, from left to right, top to bottom. Special Keys: ESCAPE - Main Menu PAUSE - Pause ' - Console - - Decrease Screen Size = - Increases Screen Size TAB - Help and Scores Screen Weapon Keys: 1 - Blaster 2 - Shotgun 3 - Super Shotgun 4 - Machinegun 5 - Chaingun 6 - Grenade Launcher 7 - Rocket Launcher 8 - HyperBlaster 9 - Railgun 0 - BFG10K CTRL + # - Select As Secondary Weapon Movement Keys: W - Move Forward A - Strafe Left S - Move Back D - Strafe Right F - Crouch or Move Down SHIFT/R - Jump or Move Up Quick Keys: ALT - Select Music (Quake and an Example of a simple Music CD in script) . - Select next CD Track , - Select Previous CD Track O - Turn CD On/Off HOME - Restart Currently Selected Music INS - Select Nickname Q - Rocket Jump (Must Have Rocket Selected) END - Switch Function Keys (From Comments to Menu options) V - Invulnerability I - Quad Damage SPACE - Sniper Zoom M - Do Move & Talk Function N - Select Move & Talk Function Inventory Keys: [ - Inventory Left ] - Inventory Right \ - Inventory Screen ' - Drop Selected Inventory Item ENTER - Use Item Message Keys: H - General Message T - Team Message Mouse Buttons: Left - Fire Primary Weapon Middle - Fire Secondary Weapon Right - *Unused Function Keys (Comments After Menu Options): F1 - Help and Scores Screen// "Messy..."

Aliases ------- I have a few aliases bundled in this script, mostly from exploring to see how much scripting has changed from Quake to Quake 2. Here is the list; Rocket Jump: Pretty much a standard inclusion in scripts these days. Requires you to have to Rocket Launcher selected. CD Functions: Enables you to flip through the CD tracks of Quake 2. I've also added the script for another CD, use that as a template for your favourite Audio CD. Name Funciton: Not a great need for something such as this, but sometimes I find it comes in handy. It just enables you to select another nickname quickly. Secondary Weapons Function: It took me ages to get this working right in Quake 2. Don't ask me why, but Quake 2 seems to be more fussy about how aliases are laid out. The set-up is pretty simple. Select your primary weapon with 1-0 and select your secondary weapon by holding down CTRL and then hitting 1-0. When you click on your left mouse button, it will switch to and fire your primary weapon while clicking the right mouse button it will switch to your secondary weapon and fire. If you run out of ammo for your primary/secondary weapon, the script will default to your highest numbered weapon. Comments/Menu Option Functions While I have a very hard time playing Internet DM, I still have functions in here for it. Quite simply, hitting INSERT will switch the function keys from the normal menu operations to comments. Hitting INSERT again will revert it back to menu operations. This enables you to double the amount of commands associated witht the function keys. Zoom Function: A simple Sniper zoom. It also has mouse sensitivities in it, so if you the sensitivity is changed, you will also have to change it there as well. I did this to give much better control while in a zoomed state. Move & Talk: This is mainly pointed at Team Fortress 2 when it appears, but it can be altered so it just does say commands and not say_team commands. Not much actually use, but it will make talking to someone up-close look a bit better :) Thanks ------ Wish to thank Id Software, once again they have made a killer game, although I didn't like the altering of the set command, I've managed to live with it :) Jack Frost, mainly because I stole his readme.txt (I only go for the best ;), but also for his great site, it's helped a lot with Quake and I'm sure it will do the same with Quake 2. To anyone who makes there scripts public. You helped not only myself, but countless others in understanding how scripts work in Quake and Quake 2. You should be thanked. To myself... I spent a lot of time learning how to make this stuff for Quake and I feel a certain amount of pride that I made all this by myself.
