Actual modifications to the Reaper code are based on the Reaper Improvement Protocol found at http://www.inside3d.com or http://www.brutality.com/scrap/index.html. There are several weapons mods most of which are based on tutorials found at the above mentioned sites. I did borrow the Killer Quake Pak's minigun. All related text files for the original mods are included in the pak. Weapons ------- 1. Hell Knight Axe / Throwing Axe / Grappling hook 2. Laser Rifle / Rebound rifle 3. Super Shotgun / Buzzsaw 4. Flamethrower / Crossbow 5. Super Nailgun / Minicannon 6. Normal grenades / Nailbombs 7. Normal rockets / Drunken rockets 8. Positron Beam Motion detectors, holograms, jetpack (green armor). Commands include: IMPULSE 44 - Help/Impulse List (please see this list first for impulses for motion detectors, holograms and observer mode. IMPULSE 200 - Increment skin (if skins support is set) IMPULSE 201 - Decrement skin (if skins support is set) IMPULSE 202 - Toggle skins support - three settings (off, normal, skill skins) With skill skins mode, bot skin depends on its skill level IMPULSE 205 - add a bot (can do it repeatedly) IMPULSE 208 - add four bots IMPULSE 210 - scores (bring up the console - hit the ~ key - to read) scores are now on the scoreboard! IMPULSE 211 - remove all bots IMPULSE 212 - Toggle limited observer mode (you are invisible to bots unless you attack them, but move normally) IMPULSE 214 - update bots. Use when the SV_GRAVITY or SV_MAXSPEED server cvars are changed. IMPULSE 215 - Toggle verbose mode (bots tell you what they're doing). IMPULSE 218 - turn on restricted mode (only client 0 can add bots or become an observer) IMPULSE 219 - turn on super restricted mode (no client can add bots or become an observer) IMPULSE 220 - normal scores (frag count) IMPULSE 221 - update team colors (used to tell the bots on your team if you change colors) IMPULSE 222 - show top three scores (so you don't need to bring down the console IMPULSE 1XX - Bounds the total number of bots + players to XX (XX must no greater than 15) Enough bots to meet this bound are spawned, and they leave and come back as players enter and leave the server. SKILL N - Change skill level (N = 0 to 3, default is 1) Note: Make sure your SV_MAXSPEED is not set too high. Bots use SV_MAXSPEED to determine their speed. The default is 320, and a higher setting will make the bots move faster and look jerkier. Known bugs ---------- Bots ignore holograms. Your score may look to be at 0, but frags are still counted. How to Install the Modification ------------------------------- Create a subdirectory in your Quake directory (parallel to the ID1 directory) move the pak2.pak file included in this archive to your new directory. To play, type QUAKE -GAME "your directory" +EXEC HOOK.CFG from the Quake directory. This modification only works with the registered version of Quake. Make sure you run deathmatch when you play with the bots- they don't play coop (either select multi-player, or type DEATHMATCH N at the console, where N = 1 or 2). To change skill levels, type SKILL N at the console, where N is a value between 0 and 3 (inclusive).
