Web Site : Planetmaniac.co.uk

Additional Credits : Rich Whitehouse for letting me use his Jumbot, all of the mappers and modelers that gave me permission to implement there work into this mod, and especially Wavelength for the best game editing site i've ever known. Gearbox, for some of the opposing force multiplayer models (you must own opposing force to use them).

For altering the bots AI, please check the jumbot_readme.txt file. All I have done for this mod is basically make some route files for the jumbot, tweak the config files etc. and add some cool menu graphics. I have also added some of the best maps and models I've found around on the internet, by authors permission of course. The jumbot is the best bot out there and has only a few bugs (In my opinion, because I've been here since the beginning of Quake, the only bad thing about the bots is they move nothing like a human player (sharp turning etc.). There's new weapon and player models, sounds, crosshairs, the jumbot and maps all in this mod. I've tweaked the jumbot to how I think it should play with the config files.

Use
-------
Execute the Maniac.bat file in the half-life\maniac folder. Click multiplayer, lan game, create game, select a map and what options you'd like to use (e.g Teamplay) and start the game. Hit "n" to add a bot, and "m" to remove a bot. It's all set up ready for play. If you'd like to use user-made maps with the Maniac mod, simply copy the maps to the /maps folder and start the game as normal. If you'd like to use valve's deathmatch maps, extract them to the maps folder with a utility such as pak explorer, which is in the \pakexplorer folder

There are a few new commands in this mod, so go to the controls menu to set them up to you're liking.
