For those of you having trouble configuring the hook in WoD 7.51 at The Alamo (goto alamo), Here is what you need to do:

If you have not installed the WoD 7.51 files, you must have an autoexec file with these scripts:

alias +hook "hook action; wait; hook shrink"
alias -hook "hook stop"
alias +shrink "hook shrink"
alias -shrink "hook stop"
alias +grow "hook grow"
alias -grow "hook stop"
bind x +hook

Once you have saved the lines onto your autoexec file, move it in the "weapons" folder.

(you can also add these lines to your current config file)

The best thing is to have the official WoD 7 files installed in your quake2 DIR.

Get them here:

This the same bind that WOD:LOX uses. This is the slow, parasite-tongue hook. Players using this on a WoD7 server where others are using the Lithium style hook places them at a disadvantage. You would be better to show how to use the Lithium style.

Hey Wabbit,

We would much rather use the Lithium hook, but unfortunately we have not been able to get it to work. I was told years ago by SomeJoker{WoD}, that the ability for the Lithium hook was already in WoD7, since the laser is a part of Q2, but you need the right script to get it to work. He never got back to me and I gave up looking for him.

If you can help us get the Lithium hook working, please let me know. Thanks.

Yes, we are using the parasite-tongue hook, but at least we can make the hook rope invisible: set norope 1. We are also very good at the Lithium hook from wodx play.

We still prefer WoD7.

Thank you,

J. R.

Unless there's a cvar for it the laser hook may not be available. I'll take a look at the mod but don't get your hopes up. Any idea where the source code is available? Lithium uses the laser hook and WoDX has both but that's the only mod that uses both at the same time.
