Title : Backpack bomb Filename : backpb12.zip Version : 1.2 Date : 96/11/17 Author : Jan-AAge Johnsen (IC) Gjermund Jensvoll (SirLiam) Email : radley@icenet.no Credit : Paal-Christian Dybvik for beta testing. Toby Reed (toby@eskimo.com) for helping us with the "Player died" bug. ID Software for designign Quake with Quake C! Type of Mod ----------- Quake C : yes Sound : no MDL : no Format of QuakeC ---------------- unified diff : no context diff : no .qc files : yes progs.dat : yes Description of the Modification ------------------------------- This mod creates a new weapon, a backpack bomb. It's a fake-backpack that contains granates. It goes off everytime someone trys to pick it up. You can drop the backpack beside a dead body, so other players thinks it is a normal backpack. You can also drop backpacks infront of a door, to stop other players to enter. And why not drop a backpack when someone is chasing you? But you will loose 10 rockets everytime you drop a backpack (This is done to stop ppl from placing millions of backpacks). Impulse 13 makes you drop a backpack. How to Install the Modification ------------------------------- Make a new dir in your quake directory. (ie c:\quake\bpb) then move this progs.dat into that directory. Then from the c:\quake dir. type: quake -game bpb then bind a key to impulse 13 You can either do it in the game, or in a cfg file. bind s "impulse 13" Technical Details ----------------- BUGS: none. Any other bugs? Please lemme know. STILL NEEDS: I don't think it needs something more. If you come up with something, please e-mail us. VERSION 1.2: Fixed the bug were you could drop a backpack into walls. Got rid of that "Player died" message (Thanx Toby!) The code is now Quake v 1.06, and not 1.01 Fixed soem sputid spilling misstakes iN tis flie ;) VERSION 1.1: The one who dropped the backpack will now get a frag when someone picks it up, and dies. It will now take 2 secs for the bomb to explode, after someone picks it up. You only need 10 rockets now to drop a backpack. Added some new messages. VERSION 1.0: FIRST RELESE! Some minor bugs fixed. VERSION 0.4 Beta: Added a random message when you/another player picks up the backpack Added a message when player dosen't have 15 or more rockets.
