Sandbox Q2

[pootisgumball256]

Dear Tastyspleen,

Paril's Bullet ragdoll physics implementation, the creation of Qreate Mod (www.moddb.com/mods/qreate), and Quake DeveLS' Multi DLL Support tutorial inspired me to make a Quake 2 mod inspired by GMod. Qreate Mod was based on Quake 1, but the Weapons of Destruction Xtreme developers ported the Shambler monster and the Lightning Gun/Super Nailgun weapons into their Quake 2 mod. The Doom mod AEons of Death also inspired me. Here is a list ranging from Already Completed to Very Hard.

Already Complete
-Quake 2 Evolved engine
-Get Quake 2 Evolved, Mission Pack, and KMQ2 source codes.
Very Easy (no need for forum help)
-Implement CTF, Bots, and Mission Packs
-Add Sonic Railgun
-Add new weapons
-Add Super Blaster
-Add new monsters (Rocket Guard, Rottweiler, etc.)
-Add Jetpack, Flashlight, Shocksphere, and BLU-86 from KMQuake2
-Activate the Disruptor weapon
Easy (no need for forum help)
-Add KMQuake2 bug fixes
-Copy stuff from Quake 1 source code
-Homing Missile Launcher
-Some WoD weapons
 -Sniper Gun
 -Machine Rocket Gun
 -Sweepers
 -Plasma Rifle
Medium
-Bazooka
-IR Laser
Hard
-DarKMajicK Grenades
-Qreate (eukos knows about this)
-Bullet physics (Paril knows about this)
-Physgun and Toolgun (eukos may know about this)
-Multi DLL Support (I can get help from the Quke DeveLS tutorial)

That's all I can think of right now.

Hey pootisgumball,

That's really cool! You might be interested to know that WODX also supports similar operations as Qreate/GMOD, like in-game spawn, rotate and move for a huge list of entities. You can also output the results as an ent file that can be turned into a permanent override for that map. We sometimes use it to place trees and other objects in our maps. Currently it only works in debug mode and is largely experimental & undocumented. There's no neat menu for it only binds for the various commands. If you join this thread, Kitsune might be able to explain more how it works:

Good work on your mod, and I'm looking forward to seeing the initial release

You should start by studying the Quake2 game module code and making some small changes. Or join an existing team that has veteran members and see how you can contribute.
