Title : RemoteRidicule for Quake Filename : remote.zip Version : 1.0 Date : 96/27/8 Author : James 'Jaymz' Cullen of The Lone Gunmen Email : lcullen@eis.net.au Credits : Quake-C Manual. by Olivier Montanuy Olivier.Montanuy@wanadoo.fr id Software ***** PROFANITY WARNING PROFANITY WARNING ***** This patch contains samples from the movie 'Aliens', and has course language in it. If those sort of words insult you, I suggest that you don't download it. If I get mail complaining about the vulgar language in this patch, I will send the person who sent it some constructive words that will make the ones in this patch seem tame. You have been warned.... Type of Mod ----------- Quake C : yes Sound : yes MDL : no Format of Quake C ----------------- unified diff : no context diff : no .qc files : yes progs.dat : yes Description of the Modification ------------------------------- Although I don't like Duke Nukem that much, I have to admit that the RemoteRidicule feature in Duke is pretty cool. A whole horde of lamers on the Quake newsgroups insist for people to make Quake more like Duke Nukem. However, as James Hetfield from Metallica once said: "Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd" (From Eye of the Beholder, on the ...And Justice for All album). But RemoteRidicule is suprisingly one of the *VERY* few things I like about Duke Nukem. The modification was suprisingly easy, and I typed it up in about 5 minutes. I'm suprised no-one has done this before, as I only know little tidbits of QuakeC. This came into my head from a request from my brother and fellow Gunman, Incubus, who still plays Duke, and is probably the ONLY gunman who does so. So I typed in a couple of lines, and stuck in 6 wave files from Aliens, because they were the coolest wav files I had sitting on my HD at the time of writing. I may consider releasing a newer version with new sounds. How to use Modification ------------------------------- When you run the patch up, it will automatically reconfigure the following keys as the remote ridicule keys: Q - RemoteRidicule 1 W - RemoteRidicule 2 E - RemoteRidicule 3 R - RemoteRidicule 4 Y - RemoteRidicule 5 U - RemoteRidicule 6 If you want to change these keys to something else, edit the QUAKE.RC file that should reside in your REMOTE directory from your QUAKE directory. You then find the following lines: bind q "impulse 30" bind w "impulse 31" bind e "impulse 32" bind r "impulse 33" bind y "impulse 34" bind u "impulse 35" And change the letter after 'bind' to whatever key you want to set it to. For instance, you could set it to your function keys by typing: bind F1 "impulse 30" bind F2 "impulse 31" bind F3 "impulse 32" bind F4 "impulse 33" bind F5 "impulse 34" bind F6 "impulse 35" How to Install the Modification ------------------------------- Copy the REMOTE.ZIP file into your quake directory, and unzip it by typing (without the quotes): "PKUNZIP REMOTE.ZIP -D" ^^ DON'T FORGET THE -D! Then run the REMOTE.BAT file in your Quake directory, or if you want to do it manually, type "QUAKE -game remote" or "Q95.BAT -game remote". Technical Details ----------------- Features: 1.
