That's neat. Adds a little bit of a welcoming help for genre/series newcomers, while being a little detail addition for fans like me.

2024 PATCH, available here: Moddb.com

I'll try to make a tutorial video of sorts, that covers as much about the gameplay aspects and mechanics that is in this mod. But it will take a long while as I'm currently busy with some matters...

In the meantime, please, I really encourage checking the included "README" and "EnemyGuides" text files, as all the information, from installation to the gameplay stuff, are covered there.

Have fun.

Just tested this on the most recent build of Quake3e. Yeah, for some reason, those render weapon models in player view even lower than in vanilla. It's why when firing the lightning gun, it "disappears" from view.

Make sure "zzczhdwr2.pk3" is also extracted into baseq3, as those contains the modified weapon "hand"(position and animation).

Beyond that, if the issue persists(like, the weapon doesn't render at all), only things I could think of are pack file conflicts(because, "zzczhdwr2.pk3" SHOULD modify the weapons' original/vanilla positioning), conflict in used config(especially those commands that pertains to modifying weapon position in view like cg_gunx;y;z, cg_fovAspectAdjust, etc.).

I won't make promises. As of now, I'm working on some other mod and model stuff. And, as with what happened with QuakeII(and QuakeI few years before), I'm honestly just waiting if the same treatment is going to happen in QuakeIII next year.

Yes, sorry.

:Changelog:
-Gauntlet and BFG, finally added
-general texture cleanup(removed decals and reworked shading)
-texture size and format optimization(dropped overall file size from 32mb to 14mb)
-minor mesh tweak on PG
-reworked shader effect on LG & PG
-reduced recoil animation for PG
-three-dimensional muzzle flash, now done on all weapons

Absolutely did not like the BFG design on Quake 3. So instead, I went and recreated a BFG design that I did like; the one from that bad 2005 movie.

Still working on the blade's shading. In regards to the direction here. It wat very straightforward. Made the design a bit more ergonomic, if less deadly-looking.

I don't have, nor have the desire to get and play the TA expansion pack. So, no. Sorry.

Did some finalizing tweaks on most weapons done.

As for current progress: Except the BFG and the gauntlet, most of the weapons are pretty much finished. Also remade the muzzle flashes for each to be more solid 3D, and also created reworked weapon position and basic firing animations as an optional PAK file.

Will continue and finish up the two remaining weapons next year, now I have to make time for other things these following weeks. In the meantime, here, what I made so far now available for download: Moddb.com

Big fan of Q3 plasmagun's general design and silhouette, but wasn't a fan of the dirty, stamped-metal details. Inspired by DOOM games. Remade the weapon with a more sci-fi, polymer encased design.

Just like the shotgun, RL's general design and silhouette is already great. Just made some better connectivity between the barrel and the main body.

For anyone who caught where I'm going with the overall design; Yeah, I'm a BIG fan of Quake II's RG, it's my most favorite railgun design across the whole Quake series. So now, Quake 3 RG looks more beefy.

I'm generally okay with Quake III's LG design, so I didn't go overboard with my additions. Just like the SG, simple cleanup and repair.

Very simple addition; added a stock. Overall, I mostly like Quake III's GL design.

Simple direction here; just cleaned up the gun and added better connecting parts. Nothing too fancy.

For a little bit of flair, gave the barrel design a touch of Quake-I motif.

Now don't get too excited. My aim is to recreate the models, making it look good for higher res monitors, while still making it 100% compatible with vanilla Q3A engine; meaning, i still have to contend with VQ3A's polycount and texture size limitations.

Fantastic.

A notable good thing to come out of this; finally broke off of relying on pre-made textures, and learned to draw one (and make UV maps) myself.

Technically, you play this in MP. But this mod is made to be played as a single player on an MP game. I hope I didn't confuse you.

If you meant the 'XPCheats' cvar. You have to add at least one bot opponent(not a teammate) before invoking the command.

In short, it's my attempt at making a sort of "singleplayer gauntlet arena" by modifying the team-deathmatch gameplay and bot behaviors/stats.

If you like this, I recommend you check out an old FPS game, "XIII". As that's my core inspiration for this visual mod.

Be thankful for our God-Emperor. You are safe. You aren't touched by the chaos god of change and trickery. (if you have no idea what this comment is all about, just pretend you know W40k and move on. :P)
