Mod of th Week: 24.239.118.169:27910
Coop of the Week: 24.239.118.169:27911

Week of Aug. 20th - Aug 26th

Coop otW will be Escape from the City of the Dead. This is a zombie game where you have to conserve ammo and decide whether to fight or run. It looks a little raw but gameplay is similar to classic doom 1 or wolfenstein games.

Download it here:
http://planetquake.gamespy.com/View.php?view=MOTW.Detail&id=39

To install the game extract it to c:\. It will create a eftcotd foler. This is the stand alone game without multiplayer. To connect to this server simply go to your c:\eftcotd folder and copy the "data" folder to c:\quake2 and then rename it to eftcotd.

So in other words you will extract the original game and get
c:\eftcotd
You will copy
c:\eftcotd\data
to
c:\quake2\data
then you will rename that directory to
c:\quake2\eftcotd


No binds should be needed. Only thing to remember is that in coop you will not actually
pick up keys, but the corosponding doors will open anyway when you walk on top of that
key.



Mod otW will be Gun Slingers

Download it here:
http://tastyspleen.net/quake/downloads/mods/gunslinger/

You'll definitly need to download the zip for any gun binds that are needed. I.E. I'm pretty sure the command "use rocket launcher" is rather useless in dodge city.

Binds that you'll want to customize above the standard autoexe.cfg that comes with the mod
+reload
+ALT_FIRE
use lantern
drop artifact

Coop of the week will change shortly

[peewee_RotA]

Megaman Quake2 will continue yet another week.

There are some massive updates to the mod, however they currently only affect a single player campaign I am working on. For the moment there are some interesting models to replace the blaster gun model and for the plasma charges that can be fired. None of these models are more than 56K so downloads should be very quick.

Other than that gameplay has not changed. Make sure you are set to download these models or else you're missing out on some real fun.

This is going to be called version 0.1 until more of the massive project can be completed. Most alternative weapons are basically finished however the new inventory system and the corosponding bosses are not finished yet so they are not implemented as of yet.



The coop server is down pending me getting off my butt and doing something with it.

[peewee_RotA]

After pumping out some massively weird code out of thin air I've completed the skull shield weapon and finished the implementation of all the other guns disregarding the AI for the bosses. That can wait until more is done in single player.

Current power list and their corrospoding pickup location
X-Buster / blaster
Dust Crusher / Shotgun
Skull Shield / Super Shotgun
Crash Bombs / Machinegun
Rolling Cutter / Chaingun
Hyper Bombs / Grenade Launcher
Magnet Missile / Rocket Launcher
Needle Cannon / Hyper Blaster
Gemini Laser / Railgun

The other important feature that megaman fans will appreciate. I've added a shot limit so that you can't switch power while another one is still in use and you can only shoot a limit of each power at a time. I.E. only 3 buster shots at a time. These limits all match the existing original games except for cutter, crashbombs, and hyperbombs which were increased to a limit of 3 which similar weapons later in the original series used.
