Metal mod for Quake

Metal
A Quake Modifcation

Created by Arthur (Fox -AJ-) Phelps

What is Metal?

Metal is an attempt to bring some of the gameplay aspects of Metal Gear Solid (Mainly the agent versus the big group of enemies, and perhaps some stealth-like gameplay) to Quake. However it isn't supposed to be just "Metal Gear Solid Quake." The idea is to be Quake with more of military-realisim-ish aspect to it. It's hard to say, since there was no one goal from the beginning to achieve.

From the Readme:

Metal started as just a "I bet I could make a cool M37 Shotgun model." Then, plenty of sleepless nights later, I had added on a bunch of really cool stuff that I made mostly myself, with great help from inside3d.com's tutorials, and some people at the Quake Standards Group forum. (Names mentioned in Acknowledgements).
The weapon models I made and skinned myself, and I might even try and do them again, better. Made from scratch except for the Quake guy hands I ripped from the v_axe.mdl in Quake.
The CTF code was completely NOT mine, but a kick ass plugin made by Wazat. (http://static.condemned.com/ if you care to download it yourself, or want to check out his other cool stuff.)

One might notice in the autoexec.cfg file, one of the commands (a cheat command) is "MetalGear." Probably 20% of my life I spent playing Metal Gear games. They rule. So, the "MetalGear" cheat gives you an Infinity Bandana that gives all your guns unlimited ammo for a period of time. It has also replaced the Quad Damage, so if you play through Single Player, you can find it "legally."
Why replace the Quad Damage? Well, I think I made the weapons pretty powerful already, and you'd probably run out of ammo trying to have crazy fun with the Quad Damage. This way, not only do I get to pay homage to Metal Gear, but you can still have lots of crazy fun. (Especially the "right-click M67 grenades" MAD FUN!

Quake is pretty old now, and everyone's playing new spiffy games like "World of Warcraft" or Counter-Strike: Source, however, if not even anyone plays this mod, it was still worth the fun time coding, modeling, and learning. I plan to work a lot more on it, and improve what I have, and add more.

*I hope to add some form of locational damage, at least for head shots.
*Redo the Famas Skin, and perhaps the model.
*Redo the Socom Model. I made it too blocky, it almost looks like a Glock.
*A Single Player Mission Campaign, or maybe just scattered Single Player missions.
*More custom maps for Multi-Player
*Maybe a new multiplayer mode, similar to the new MGS3:S Multiplayer mode. With one "Solid Snake" and the other players are Soldiers against him.

A SECOND thanks to Wazat for the kickass CTF plugin code too. Static.condemned.com

Thanks to Inside3d.com for their tutorials, they got me started on this whole modding thing.

More thanks to the people who wrote tutorials for QuakeC, I will credit the ones I used in a later update.

Thanks to Coca-Cola for ther many awesome flavors of Diet Coke. (Cherry = Rules.)

Thanks to ID Software for Quake and Doom, the foundation of today's First Person Shooters.

Thanks to E-machines for the toughest damn keyboard in the world! (Even though the computer we got it with died within the month...) It lasted at least 3 years of my smashing it to death.

Rest In Peace little Hewlett-Packard Optic Mouse that died because my computer stopped right-clicking.

A final thanks to Metal Gear and its creators.
