Title : G2005 Filename : G2005.zip Version : 1.0 Date : 6/5/98 Author : Tom Garnett Web Page : not yet, maybe later for Stoop Quake (see below) Email : tomgarnett@dial.pipex.com Thank You's! : Rene Post (qME), iD Software, inside3D (tutorials), SportsMarketing QuakeC Coding by - Tom Garnett (tomgarnett@dial.pipex.com) Model and Animation by - James Schlakaman Type of Mod Quake C : yes (progs.dat and .qc) Sound : authentic (Done with a microphone and a G2005...) MDL : from life (although without the distinctive sight) Description of the Modification This replaces the shotgun with a realistic (damage aside) g2005. The g2005 is the latest version of the g10, a bb gun (like an air pistol but less powerful) made by the company SportsMarketing. It has single shot slide cocking action, and a 24 shot magazine accessed by 'breaking' the barrel. It fires bbs (Ball Bearings) which are 4.5mm diameter steel balls, coated in copper (god knows why). How to use Modification Start a new game, you are now holding a loaded and cocked g10, 'unfortunatly' I forgot to add a safety, shame... To fire, press fire, the bb will shoot out and bounce off things, causing damage (30 for a direct hit). now, to fire the g10 again you have to cock it, this is normally accomplished with the PgUp key (impulse 231 if you wish to rebind it), The number of bbs in the magazine is shown, large, at the bottom right, the number of shells (which is completely different) is shown in the normal place. there are two ways to tell if the g2005 is cocked, attempt to cock it again, or pull the trigger... (don't complain, that is how the actual g2005 works as well). Another point to note is that (like the real g2005) you can cock it when the magazine is empty, it will seem to fire, but the noise is slightly different (also, no bb comes out). To reload the magazine from your supply of shells, press PgDn (impulse 232) the g2005 cannot be loaded unless cocked, so that happens automatically first, then a speedloader (combination funnel/bullet pouch, they exist) will be used to add bbs to the magazine, stopping at the limit of 24. You may notice that the number then drops by one, this is because a bb has dropped into the 'breach' making the g2005 become cocked. If you find it tedious to constantly cock the g10 press c (impulse 233) to enable Autococking, which will cock the g10 after each shot without a keypress. The only disadvantage is that you lose the ability to quickly fire, switch weapons, and then fire again. How to Install the Modification Unzip patch in C:\quake\g2005, or whatever your quake path is. then run quake with the parameter -game g2005. use Start Menu: Run in windows 95. this (and every other mod) will only work in the registered version. Technical Details Unlike other some reloadable weapon patches, the magazine values are persistant, they don't get zeroed everytime you change weapon, or even change level. Also unlike ANY other reloadable weapon patch (that I know of) this actually tells you how much ammo is in the magazine. as I said I went for realistic behaviour over simplicity, so I'm sorry if this is complicated. Know bugs You ARE kidding, right? I'm far to persistant to let any through! (I hope...) Game balance is another matter, this may be insufficiently powerful, it gets one-shot kills on grunts, but ogres are BAD news... Other info This is my first patch release, it is part of a TC (Stoop Quake) set around our school (Swavesey Village College) that is around half to two thirds finished, but various people were clamouring for this to be released. The pak file contains the file g2005.qc which is the source for this patch, and contains step by step instructions (at the top of the file) of merging this with other mods, not for the complete novice, but it won't take a genius to do it. (I'm thinking in terms or compilations here - it won't be possible for you to simply add this to PainKeep or something, you do need the source.)
