Title : The tracer Filename : tracer.zip Version : 1.00 Date : 96/08/18 Author : Jonathan Avraham aka Procedure aka Shambler Email : procedure@hotmail.com Credits : iD, for this kick ass game, and bigfoot, for support along the way. Type of Mod ----------- Quake C : yes Sound : no MDL : no Source Included : yes Description of the Modification ------------------------------- Want to get rid of ambushes? Want to ambush in water and know exactly when to attack without being discovered? Use the tracer. Just press T and a tracer is shot. When it hits a monster or player, it sticks to it/him/her and starts to beep, and by the strength of the sound you can evaluate the distance to. Ambush underwater, and when you hear the beep up close, you blast the motherfunker out of existence! How to Install the Modification ------------------------------- Very simple: 1. Create a directory named TRACER under your QUAKE directory by typing: MD TRACER when in your QUAKE directory. 2. Unzip the files in the archive into that directory with your favorite unzipping software. Make sure you unzip with subdirectories. If you use PKUNZIP just type: PKUNZIP TRACER.ZIP TRACER -d again, in your QUAKE directory. 3. Copy all the .QC and .SRC files from Quake C into the TRACER\SRC directory, excpet for WEAPONS.QC . You can get Quake C in the archive named QCC.ZIP, on www.stomped.com, ftp.stomped.com or ftp.cdrom.com . 4. Compile the QC files by typing: ..\..\QUAKEC\QCCDOS.EXE Given that you put the QCCDOS.EXE from QCC.ZIP in the directory named QUAKEC under your QUAKE directory. Otherwise, type in the path to it. 5. Run Quake like this: QUAKE.EXE -game TRACER 6. In Quake, use T to launch a tracer. Technical Details ----------------- None. Author Information ------------------ Other mods I've done: Homing Sticking Missiles - Stick up your enemy's butt and explode a while later. (HOMSTICK.ZIP) Lava Gun - Rapidly shoots lava, which eventually splashes spectacularly. Kinda like Doom's plasma gun. (LAVAGUN.ZIP) Proximity mines - Better than n-tropy's mines. Explode when detecting anyone in range. (PROXMINE.ZIP) Power Axe - Nearly everyone made this one... An axe that electrecutes upon contact with flesh, stone or metal. (I'm not going to release this one) How to contact me: IRC - Usually on undernet's #Quake and #QuakeC, 23:00-03:00 GMT E-Mail - procedure@hotmail.com Mail - Jonathan Avraham 14 2nd of November St. Haifa 35646 ISRAEL Copyright and Distribution Permissions -------------------------------------- Authors MAY use these modifications as a basis for other publically available work.
