Simple. Even though I have neither use one single line of code nor one single frame of model from the Severed patch, I still wanna thank Steve Winston-Brown and The Lone Gunmen for imspiring me to create this patch. ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º Type of Mod º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ Quake C : yes <- Yep, I did the code, Sound : yes <- and the sound effects MDL : yes <- AND the model with skin - all by myself. |8^) ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º Format of Quake C º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ unified diff : no context diff : no .qc files : no progs.dat : yes ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º Description of the Modification º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ If you have seen the TV series : Xena - Warrior Princess, you'll notice Xena has a very cool weapon, her disc. I've re-create this weapon, once it's fired, it'll bounce off walls and so on for a while before it'll be returned to you automatically. If you hit the attack button again once you've fired the disc, it'll start to return to you right away. Since it can bounce off walls, it's very useful when it's fired into a small room. Just watch it bounces and slices through your opponents. The Disc does damage according to its velocity, so the faster it bounces off a wall, the more damage it'll make. The very neat feature about this Disc is that it could actually *** LOP SOMEONE'S HEAD OFF *** . Yep, just AIM close to your opponent's neck/head area, and see their head flies off if you have done enough damage. In version 1.1, I've also added a new idea, you can now use the disc to *** SLICE SOMEONE INTO TWO HALVES *** . YEP, just AIM to the middle of your opponent and see their body splits into two if you've done enough damage. In version 1.2, you can now even lop people's arms off and see the blood keep bursting out... Once your arms have been cut off, you cannot fire or change any weapon, and to heal your arms, you'll need to bring your health back to or above 100. To lop someone's arm off, you just need to get their health below 50 with ANY weapon, and if you're lucky, you'll see their arms fly off. In version 1.3, after you've gibbed your poor opponent, watch their body parts moves even after they've landed on the floor. |8^) Also you can now be able to use your disc to lop off grunts' and enforcers' head/torso/arm/whatever off now. Try it! I've also included more realistic body parts that you can see flying off from gibbed players. The skin of the body parts actually MATCHES with the player's one.

ÉÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ» º How to use Modification º ÈÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͼ Press 1 (or impulse 1) twice to switch to the Disc, or enter Impulse 100 to switch to the weapon directly. The longer you hold onto the disc, the harder and faster it'll fly off and the more damage it'll do when it hits something. Once you have throw the disc out, if hit the fire button again and the disc will start to return to you. Otherwise the disc will keep bouncing around for a while before returning to you. If you're too far away from the disc when it starts to return to you, it will be dropped to the floor and will be automatically returned to you after around 3 seconds, or you can actually run over the disc and pick it up yourself. To lop someone's head off, you'll need to aim near your opponent's neck/head area, once your opponent's health is low, you'll be able to lop his head off. To cut someone into two halves, you'll need to aim near their torso area, once your opponent's health is low, you'll mostly likely to be able to slice him into two halves. To cut off someone's arm, you just need to bring their health down to below 50 with ANY weapons, and if you're lucky, you'll see their arms fly off. If your opponent's health is low, your disc will sometimes be able to gib your opponent into pieces. Please keep in mind that you can only lop another human player's head off, and you can only see body parts flying from gibbed human players.
