Paper Airplane v1.3.1 by jim thoenen (zombie@a.crl.com) ------------------------------------------------- This is my little contribution to the Quake C community. ========================================================================== Background story: ----------------- As QuakeGuy prepares to embark upon his journey into Quake, he discovers that he has mysteriously come upon an endless supply of clean white paper. Being the total stud that he is, he has the ability to fold pieces of paper into little airplanes in less than a half of a second. Description: ------------ - It flies in an almost realistic [randomized] path. - You can mount grenades and cells on it, if you have them! - You can shoot them out of the air! ( Crash & Burn! ) - It has custom but crappy .mdl and .wav files. - It's cute. :) (note: I made the paper supply unlimited because I didn't want to have to modify any other weapon or its ammo to conform to the paper airplane... I *MAY* create a special addition whereas you can insert entities such as ammo_paper into custom maps. Give me feedback if it really matters you.) Playing with the airplane: -------------------------- - hit "1" to select the axe, then hit "1" again... the ammo supply will always read "1" as long as Paper Airplane is selected. -impulse commands: impulse 98 -mount grenades on all airplanes until you choose not to or run out of grenades. (i.e. explosive airplanes! watch out, though! If they hit nothing, then they are timed to explode in 10 seconds!) impulse 97 -mount cells in the same manner aforementioned. (electrified airplanes !! very fun!!) impulse 96 -mount nothing on the airplanes. (i.e. throw normal airplanes) Format: ------- progs.dat pprpln13.txt progs/arin.mdl sound/weapons/fly1.wav Installation: ------------- 1. Make a subdirectory on the \quake directory and move the zipfile into it. 2. pkunzip the .zip archive with the "-d" extention. 3. Run the mod by typing "quake -game " Known Bugs: ----------- -If the airplane lands without hitting a wall first, it makes a loud noise. -You cannot shoot down your own airplanes with a shotgun.. but opponents' shotguns can. You CAN, however, shoot down your own planes with your nailguns or rocket launcher. Oh, BTW, please report any other bugs to me. (I probably didn't have to say that did I? :) ========================================================================= Acknowledgements: ----------------- Thanks go out to id, the author of MedDLe, and Creative Labs for Wave Studio.
