Title : The Planter Gun Filename : planter.zip Version : 0.91 Date : 05/25/97 Author : Doug Hammerstroem Email : rubyice@is.usmo.com Credits : All the great programmers out there, to which I learned from. The author of QuakeMe, for there would be no models. John Carmack for releasing qcc.zip. Type of Mod ----------- Quake C : Yes Sound : Yes MDL : Yes Format of QuakeC ---------------- unified diff : no context diff : no .qc files : No, you have to ask me... progs.dat : Yes Description of the Modification ------------------------------- I always fool around Quake C when I have the time. One day I thought about this gun, noone did it, it didn't kill, it was original. So what the heck, why not make it? I started up my computer and worked on it and within hours (3) I had it, along with models, and sounds, and having scrambled the whole thing... Whether you're in a deathmatch, or playing alone, you can use this. You pull out the Planter Gun, which has moss growing on it, and it shoots balls covered in vines. When you hit an enemy with this, it will "plant" them. While planted, you can not walk, jump, or if in water, swim. You can turn around, look up and down, and fire your weapon. If you are ever planted in a dark corner or area, don't worry, you glow, so people can see you and kill you. What's New ---------- .91[] Geezus no one told me it didn't work! Some problem with locating a model in pak0.pak... I'm not going to use paks. How to Install the Modification ------------------------------- Unzip into C:\, it will handle the rest. then start quake with quake -game planter If you want to run a server with this among other weapons and mods, email me, and I'll be more than happy to give you the source code. If you want to add this to a combo file, tell me I'll give you the source. In the future, when I have added all I want, I will give the source out freely. Future Enhancements ------------------- I would like daisies to pop up where the keys go on the bar, I have to learn to edit there though. I would like a daisy to be on the planted person's head, just to be wierd I guess. A new Planter Gun model, not just a skin. A new Planter shot model, not just a skin. A skin of a player entrapped in vines. More sounds, and a cool new effect. Author Information ------------------ 12 years old. Ummmm, advanced math at school. That's about it... Copyright and Distribution Permissions -------------------------------------- In future versions, where I have my source out, I'd like to see people credit me. Why I won't release the code now -------------------------------- I wanna play it safe for awhile, I guess. I don't want some guy taking the code and then saying look at this "Doug", he's trying to steal my code, and then this guy takes credit for lying? You just can't trust some people... But that's not the real reason. I don't want to give out a sloppy source code, and I want to have all I want in first. Note ---- I haven't had a chance to test this patch over the 'net. If you plant someone and no messages show up in multiplay, please tell me...
