DEMON TAG by Iikka Keranen, 1998 http://www.planetquake.com/ikq/ iikka@ionstorm.com This modification is loosely based on Squirrel's Demon Quake patch. One player is the Demon, and others can try to kill or avoid him in otherwise normal game of deathmatch. Killing the Demon gives you 10 frags, and turns you into the Demon, so it's recommendable to try. :) The Demon can't get health or other items, so he will eventually die. Source code is available at: ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames2/planetquake/ikq/demonsrc.zip ** Installing Unzip files to quake/demontag/ with subdirectories. ** Running the game Launch Quake with command lines like: quake -game demontag (Under dos) q95 -game demontag winquake -game demontag ** Gameplay Demon specs: Speed : 400 (vs. 320 of Skippy), also jumps higher (can jump on players). Health : 666 Weapons: Claws, Fists, leap attack Size : Twice as big as Skippy (can't always fit thru doors) Special: Immune to lava and drowning. Heavyweight enough to crush players and not be thrown around a lot by explosions. Wide field of view. So, how to play it? First player connecting to the server will become the demon unless he wears white pants (color 0). Other players work exactly like usual, so I go straight to the demon controls: View controls: Impulse 1: set 1st person view (slightly messy) Impulse 2: close 3rd person (default) Impulse 3: far 3rd person Attacks: Impulse 10 (changeweapon): Demon leap Fire: Slash/crush/punch When you press fire, the attack is determined by your view angle. If you're looking up, it makes a two-handed overhead smash. Close to horizontal does standard demon slice attack, and looking down makes you punch. If you continue to press fire, it repeats the same attack even if you look at other angle... ** Hints&Tips General: - DM1, DM2 and DM4 seem to be pretty good levels for the Demon...Others have too many small doorways he can't fit through, etc. Skippy: - shoot at the demon from behind a door that's too small for him to get through, whenever possible. A good example is the red armor + rocket launcher room in DM4.. The Demon can't go downstairs to the teleport. Demon: - Bind the changeweapon key (impulse 10) somewhere close to your movement keys or fire button, so you can make quick leaps... - Camping may be a clever tactic, as you make a lot of noise when you move around (when playing as Demon). ** Legal crap: Just don't try to make money out of it, and it's OK.
