Quake2 DeathMatch Message Mod (DLL file included) 12/12/97 ================================================================ Title : DeathMatch Msg v1 Author : Dave Dynerman a.k.a. anarchy Email Address : anarchy@telefragged.com Description : Ok, this changes the death messages in DM from being (X killed Y) to colorfull things based on what weapon you were killed with. (ala Quake1) Additional Credits to : id Software for Quake2 and for their promptness in releasing the source code! 3Dnet Quake Regulars for quote providing Radar for providing the test server ================================================================ * Play Information * Single Player : No Deathmatch (2-16) : Yes! Enjoy the colorful new descriptions New Sounds : No --- New Graphics : No - No need New Music : No --- * Construction * Base : Quake2 DLL Source Editor(s) used : Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 PRO Known Bugs : None Build Time : About 4 hours. * Install Instructions * 1) Make a dir under your quake2 directory (c:\quake2\dmsg) 2) Unzip the gamex86.dll into the dir created in #1 (i.e. C:\quake2\dmsg) 3) Run Quake2 with the command line "quake2 -set game dir" where "dir" is the directory where you copied the gamex86.dll (i.e. quake2 -set game newrl) 4) Really ment for servers only... * Other Info * Ok, this is my second mod, and I think it was quite neccesary. Since there are no DLL specs out yet, I think it was quite an accomplishment of myself to do this. (No more simple IT_WEAPON calls anymore) I have included p_client.c so you can use the source in your mods. Also included is g_weapon.c because you need to add classname definitions for the blaster and the rocket launcher....... All i ask in return, is that if you do release, put my name and email addy somewhere at the end of the readme file.... Future versions will include more messages (random) and perhaps some changes... anarchy * Legal Stuff * If you want to use this patch in anything that will be redistributed, please e-mail me first. (This excludes CDROM.COM which may of course distribute it freely without asking.)
