README FILE FOR CACTii SCRIPT v4.3 ---------------------------------- MOD TYPE: QUAKE2 CFG + SOUND ADDON MOD AUTHOR: p3y0t3 (original weapon change sounds by b0i) EMAIL: p3y0t3@hotmail.com EXPLANATION OF FEATURES ----------------------- CACTii Script is a very very basic DeathMatch script. It was designed so as to have quite a few features that people would probably take advantage of, without the huge learning curve of some of the other CFG's out there. I left out all the GL toggles - detail toggles - etc., mainly because once most people get that set, they don't want to change it! But anyways, heres a feature list of the script: Multiple functions for Mouse3.. * Quick Rockets * Quick HandGrenades * Zoomed Sniper mode plus Auto-RailGun switching Multiple functions for crouch button.. * Locked crouch mode * Free (normal) crouch mode * Lithium & CTF Hook modes Custom *.pak file.. * New weapon sounds * New ammo\health\etc. pickup sounds * Quake2 v3.2x Vweap md2 files included GETTING STARTED --------------- First and foremost! This cfg rebinds keys during usage! IE: some keys are fixed within the script, and could require *major* alterations for you to enjoy it! Read thru my default keys below to see if it would be livable =] ... First tho, installation notes! STEP 1) Download the file "CACTii43.zip" onto yer PC. STEP 2) Backup\rename yer existing Autoexec.cfg file located in yer %Quake2\baseq2 directory. STEP 3) Extract the zip file "CACTii43.zip" directly to a temp directory (ie: c:\windows\temp) STEP 4) Run "Setup.exe" from above steps' temp directory. The InstallShield installer will ask where to install the files to. Browse to yer %Quake2\baseq2 and select OK. After completion, just run a game of Quake2! !NOTE! I have a fairly fast Voodoo2 based system, and as you will see my GL configuration reflects as much. I play on the net w\800x600 and max rendering quality... I don't mind only getting 45-50fps with superb image quality, instead of 65-70fps with poor visuals. Also note that my rate setting is at 2800 (eye yam a lowly HPB), so you would probably want to change that too if yer a LP bitch ;] MOVEMENT\WEAPONS CONFIGURATION ------------------------------ Below is a list of keybindings the script utilizes. Anything marked with a astericks (*) is a permanently bound key that *cannot* be changed without some scripting work.. * UPARROW = JUMP * CTRL = CROUCH LEFTARROW = STRAFE LEFT RIGHTARROW = STRAFE RIGHT DOWNARROW = BACK MOUSE 1 = ATTACK MOUSE 2 = FORWARD * MOUSE 3 = QUICK GRENADE - ETC. * KEYPAD INS = ROCKET JUMP * DELETE = QUICKWEAPON KEY 1 (SuperShotgun, MachineGun, ChainGun toggle) * END = QUICKWEAPON KEY 2 (Genade Launcher, Rocket Launcher) * PAGE DOWN = QUICKWEAPON KEY 3 (HyperBlaster, RailGun) * INSERT = CROUCH MODE TOGGLE (Lock Mode, Free Mode, CTF Hook Mode, Lithium Hook Mode) HOME = +MLOOK TOGGLE * PAGE UP = MOUSE 3 MODE TOGGLE (Quick Grenade, Quick Rocket, Sniper Zoom) * N = NETGRAPH ON\OFF TOGGLE * R = RATE TOGGLE Y = SAY_TEAM !NOTE! Any one of the above binds marked with a "*" could EASILY be scripted to other keys... Just open my Autoexec.cfg and locate where whatever alias\binding you want to change is, and have at it! SOUND ADDON\PAK FILE EXPLANATION --------------------------------- Welpz, what can I say? I thought that ol' Q2 could use a little spicing up in the sound dept. Not really a whole lots been changed... A weapon sound here, a ammo\armor\health pickup there, etc. Its enough tho that I am sure you will notice it right away heheh! ;] Credit to b0i for his weapon change sounds that I utilized. Also note that the VWEAP Pak for Quake2 v3.20 is incorporated into my included pak file (pak7.pak)... CLOSING NOTES\DISCLAIMER BS --------------------------- With TeamFortress 2 on the horizon, and StarSiege Tribes already here, I have had very little time to update\modify my Quake2 scripts... Sooooo, it looks like v4.3 is it! This script is as bug free as you are going to find, so enjoy it! On that same note, you are using these files AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
