Quake 2 -InstaCTF

[gammaray]

Hi:
 im gammaray, a q2 server admin of a mod called Instactf here, in chile.

This mod isnt very popular between the q2 players, so my idea is talk about this mod, and share the files with you, so try it out and maybe you like it.

This mod is about 2 team, red and blue and the game is capture the flag (just like ctf-lfire) there isnt all weapons,armor, health and is with out quad, only your spawn is with 100 health and the railgun.

the charge of the railgun is infinite, and the reload time is more fast than the original railgun.

you can use the offhand hook to run away with the enemy flag, or try spiderman moves too 

in the game, you will find 4 runes.

Autodoc: gives you 150 of health, and if you have damge this will regenerated it, only a headshot can kill you with 1 shoot.
Power ampli: this gives you 75% more damage
Time accel: you shoot 2 slugs per sec. (some players stick her button fire with this rune)
shield: there are need it more than 3 slugs to kill you.

so, the idea is play just like a ctf game but in the beginning try to catch the runes, because you can gives the rune to  other team player.

ex: finally arrives the FC to his base, but  he haves only 25 of heath, one DF has the autodoc, and gives this rune to the FC, so the FC recharges to 150 of health.
ex2: finally arrives the FC to his base, and carry with him the power ampli, so he gives this rune to the DF for a outstanding defense.

When you play this mod, you abilities aloud select any position. isnt a class (like vortex or giex) is just if you feel confortable in that position.

ex: one player has very very bad railgun, but his moves with the hook are quite amazing so he can be a FC in his clan.
ex2:one player with luck can strafe and his moves are very predictables but his aim with the rail is incredible, he can be a DF in his clan.

FC: flagcarrier , is the player who try to pick the enemy flag
DF: defense. is the player who try to defense his flag.
Poly: is the combination of both.

The poly player is the player who has good moves and aim the mission of this player is kill the enemy who has his flag or help in the defense or in the ofensive with the FC.
 
This mod isnt like tourney, 1 shoot 1 kill, if you shoot in the legs is diferent if you shoot in the chest or in the head.

this mod has everithing, isnt join and kill, you need work in group with your team, have some strategies, here the winners are they who use they brains and with a exeptional team work. here you need more than a good railgun and a good mouse.

Binds:
You need bind 2 keys

bind key +hook
bind key +drop tech

This files are ready to mount in a linux system.

the cfg files are liga1.cfg liga2.cfg liga3.cfg and publico.cfg

you need to change some cvars like hostname and port and all this stuff.

also at the end of this cfgs, you will find anticheat cvars (www.r1ch.net)

also has the anticheat-cvars.txt.

I am a fan of instactf as well. To my knowledge, there is only one semi-popular server here in the states: -=ACME-CTF ~ TMG Railwarz=-|44ms|66.36.243.128:27915.  I do not think they play with tech powerups though.  I can't keep up with them so I pretty much play defense.  Lidz might chime in here on this thread as well, he's got some crazy mad hook skill as a FC, oh and his rail is pretty sick too.

We have discussed this mod on another thread as well if you would like to check it out. http://tastyspleen.net/quake/forums/index.php?topic=5978.0

hi:

i know that server, the other day i chek it, its pretty nice, but is 1 shoot 1 kill and the hook is very fast some times its hard to make a good move, i think the use the tourney mod. this mod is for DM gameplay altough has the hook command.

the most nearly to instactf is the lithium mod but is more complicated the configuration, the matchmod is more easier. and is more flexible if you are thinking in the aim, because if you shoot in the legs is different that if you shoot in the chest or in the head.

if you wanna check this mod, you can join this servers:

200.104.255.82:12220 password lcic and you must change your nickname because the nick "players" isnt allowed has Anticheat protection
200.104.255.82:12222 password lcic and you must change your nickname because the nick "players" isnt allowed has Anticheat protection
200.104.255.82:12226 its public and anticheat isnt requiered.

join the public and forget it about the ping just chase and know about the gameplay and try to play if your connection allowed. i hope so.

i hope if any server admin read this and want to mount this, to test this mod just contact me for any help.

quake 2 isnt dead!:D

I think I have played on these servers before or something similar.  It was very similar to railwarz, but did have a much slower hook and use of runes.  I ping in the 200s there, so I don't play it often.  I will join and see if my connection is any better these days.

[gammaray]

thats right, the hook is more slower, but because in tight halls, like main entrance of q2ctf1 you can have more movements than a fast hook this let you to elude slugs from enemy players, i play in the railwarz servers and in tight halls i quite complicated to have free moves. and the idea is have the equilibrium to move and the same time have the oportunity to kill the enemy.

EDIT:

here we have the Demo of the final match of the league 2007.
