AxxWars release v1.0 by Akke Monasso (axx@pi.net) Hello Quakefans, when Quake first arrived, I was a little disappointed: Yes, the engine was great, but the gameplay hadn't advanced much since Doom. I was used to the gags and gadgets of Duke Nukem. So I played through Quake, and returned to Duke for Deathmatch fun. A few months later QuakeC patches arrived: Quake started showing it's power. Holograms and Pipebombs, the things I missed most in Quake were available now, but not at the same time, since two different patches were needed. Since no combinationpatch was available then, I started making my own. I never programmed in any other language than Basic, and never seriously, just the basics; so I started just copying and pasting the changes from one patch to the other, and voilą: it worked. Since then I started this project over twice, added and removed hundreds of patches, and learned some QuakeC in the process. I know there's a few Quake Combopatches out there; I played them all, and I probably used code from each and every one of them, but since this combines the patches *I* like, and there's probably some strange persons around with similar taste, I'm releasing this to the public. I know not a lot of this stuff is original, I apologise if someone is offended by me using his work, but I'm not trying to make a quick buck, I'm not trying to become famous, I just want to share the fun I have playing this patch. I contacted a few of the contributors of code, and none of them minded, as long as I don't take credit for the work. I included the names of every known contributor in the history below, since I'm still not perfect, I might have forgotten someone. If you recognise your work, and aren't listed below: please contact me, the error will be rectified asap. I'm adding stuff and fixing bugs on a daily basis, and plan to release a version at least two times a month, as long as the real programmers keep on releasing brilliant new stuff. I might even think of something to program myself! Keep looking where you found this, and you'll find a new version eventually. If you have any suggestions, bugreports or some other comment: contact me. I don't want your money, this stuff is completely free. You are allowed to use any code from this patch for your own patch, as long as you credit the original author. If it's not clear from the source and this file who wrote the original code: contact me, and I'll try to find it out. You are not allowed to make money off this patch, except if you donate that money to a good cause. Releasing it on a CDRom is a NoNo too unless you give me and every person mentioned below a free copy of that cd. The following people have contributed to this patch, by having their code, model or sound added to the patch, by giving some ideas, by testing intensively, giving moral support or by simply putting up with me.

Yakuza Zimmerman, Charlie Server Management The optimal way to play Quake with a lot of players over a LAN is by using a dedicated server. The drawback is that someone has to walk over to the server to change any settings, the Admins code changes that. A secret sequence of impulses activates admin functions for a player. He can now activate and change lots of features in this patch. Some people hate campers; I think it's a reasonable tactic in some forms of Quake matches, especially in CTF. But When a lot of players revert to camping tactics, normal deathmatch comes to a screeching halt. That's why I added the camperkiller. Another option which might prevent a specific form of camping is the option to let items spawn at a random spot, instead of at their usual respawn spot. This allows a more dynamic game, no more battles around the quaddammage. Admin Administration Original Author: Doug Keegan (doug.keegan@tamu.edu) Changes: AXXAD Modules: Admin.qc * Activate remote administration of serverfunctions. * The sequence of impulse 64, impulse 70, impulse 73 clears a player for admin duty. Camperkiller Administration Original Author: Marc Bell (d45f45@msn.com) Changes: AXXCK Modules: Camper.qc * This option is not on normally, but can be activated by Admin Impulse 97. * When a player stays within the same area for more than 15 seconds, he gets warned. * Five seconds later he gets another warning and looses 50% health. * If he's not out of that area three seconds later he gets fragged and looses 2 frags. Random Items Administration Original Author: Marc Bell (d45f45@msn.com) Changes: AXXRI Module: RandItems.qc * Admin Impulse 82 Toggles random respawning of items, default is off. Observer Administration Changes: AXXOB * Admin impulse 98 causes player to become invisible and able to walk through walls. Limit Weapons v1.00 Administration Original Author: Jeff Lee (tsngonzo@aol.com) Changes: AXXLW Modules: Limit.qc * Admin can deactivate certain weapons for all players. * Enforce a non-rocketlauncher, or shotgun only game. * use 80 to restrict a specific impulse. * Use 81 to allow a previously restricted impulse. Bots It's always hard to get a lot of people together for a nice deathmatch, and when your internet provider sucks, netplay is out of the question too. That's why I added the Eliminatorbots. These bots only work on specifically prepared maps, since they need waypoints to find their way around the levels. This makes them not very flexible, but very much like a human, because they know their way around the levels and know where important powerups are. You can find eliminator bot levels at ftp.cdrom.com in QuakeC/Bots/Eliminator. Eliminatorbot Quake Bot Source: Eliminatorbot v1.4 Original Author: Cameron Newham (cam@iinet.com.au) Changes: AXXEL Modules: CBot.qc, CBotAi.qc * Adds a deathmatch opponent, for when no human is available. * Admin Impulse 166: Spawn a bot. * Admin Impulse 74: Make Bots friendly to humans.

Wright (nelno@interpath.com) Changes: AXXCU Modules: CujoAi.qc Models: Cujo, H_Cujo, bit, Cujarmor. * When a player picks up the smallest available armour in a level, an agressive dog is spawned. * Cujo normally kills opponents on sight. * Impulse 134: Summon Cujo to your side. * Impulse 135: Activate Cujo's collarlight. * Impulse 136: Ask Cujo for a statusreport. * Impulse 137: Force Cujo to attack, or call off an attck. * Impulse 133: View the action through cujo's eyes. * Impulse 132: Let cujo roam, or stay. Gameplay Standard deathmatch is fun, but to add a little variety and strategy a few other gameplay options have been added. I liked the way in which deathmatch 2 left all the weapons for everyone to be picked up, but wanted ammo and health to be respawned anyway. So I changed that. Other brilliant gameplay options available are It, Capture the flag, king of the Hill and Headhunt, I added each and every one of them. The more variety, the better. Deathmatch Modes Gameplay * Deathmatch = 1 * Standard Quake deathmatch, nothing changed. * Deathmatch = 2 * Weapons don't disappear when picked up. MonsterMash Original Author: Sto (sto@pi.net) Changes: AXXMM * Deathmatch = 3 * Monstermash: All monsters appear in this mode, very crowded and bloody combat. * Monters hit by the Axe become friendly and start attacking your enemies.

HeadHunt Original Author: Charlie Zimmerman (czimmerm@cyberenet.net) Changes: AXXHH Modules: Heahunt.qc * Deathmatch = 5, Admin Impulse = 89. * Impulse 18 to set the altar at PlayerStart * Players get frags only by killing other players and bringing their heads to a central alter. * Frags are rewarded for the number of heads brought to the alter at one time. * One head is worth one frag. Two heads at one time are worth 3 frags(1+2) Three heads 6 frags (1+2+3)...and so on. * Hoard many heads before scoring and get big points. But dont get killed or you loose all your heads. Teamplay Modes Gameplay Original Author: David Wiedenmann (dwied@cats.ucsc.edu) Models: Dave Kirsch (zoid@threewave.com) Changes: AXXTP Module: Teamplay.qc Sound: flagcap.wav, flagtk.wav Models: flag.mdl, pole.mdl. * Teamplay = 4, Admin Impulse = 84. * IT: One player is IT.

When TI kills a player he gets 3 frags instead of 1. * When someone else kills TI, he become TI. * Teamplay = 6, Admin Impulse = 86. * Quake-TI: One player is TI. TI does damage in proportion to the number of people in the game. * 8 People means TI does 8 times normal damage. * When someone kills TI, they become TI and get 3 frags instead of 1. * Teamplay = 7, Admin Impulse = 87. * Capture the Flag: The game is divided into two teams. * The first person to join each team gets the flag and base. * The game begins once both teams have placed their bases (impulse 18). * The goal is to get the other team's flag and bring it to your base. * The player who captured the flag gets 10 frags, and everyone on his team gets 5 frags. * Flags can be dropped by using impulse 18. * Teamplay = 8, Admin Impulse = 88. * King of the Hill: The only way to get frags is the be "King of the Hill". * At the start of the game, someone uses impulse 18 to place the Hill. * Any player close enough to the Hill will gain 0.1 frags/second. * Impulse 17 will remove flags and bases and hill. * Impulse 18 will drop the flag, base and hill. * Impulse 19 will cycle through available teamplay modes. * Impulse 20 will automatically put you in the team with the least players. Weapons The standard weapon is the supershotgun, I changed this to give newly spawned players a fighting chance against the heavily armed. The supershotgun also does 125% damage of what it originally did, making it the best choice for close quarter combat. This change made the normal shotgun almost useless, but since that weapon has some advantages in long range combat, I decided to improve that quality even more: I gave it a lasersight, an option to zoom the display and increased the damage it dealt, making it the perfect snipergun. The nails fired by both Nailguns ricochet off walls, and the Perforator (Super Nailgun) has tracer nails in it's ammo, lighting up in the dark.
