Quake 4: Rivarez Mod

This mod makes changes in game graphics and gameplay. New hi-res textures was created, improved game graphic with fixed SikkMod. Weapons was changed to be most effective, gameplay was little changed to be more interested.

The mod makes following changes:

• Installed and configured SikkMod for best picture quality (the best settings will be restored by clicking a "Default" button);
• Fixed a bug in SikkMod 1.2 due to which the rounds number in weapon clip did not increased after "upgrade";
• A high resolution textures (2048x2048) instead of old 512x512 was created for the planet surface;

Weapons changes:

• Blaster have increased damage in normal (not powerful) shots;
• Machinegun have reduced spread, a damage at zooming mode is same as damage at normal mode. At zooming mode the weapon can shoots with bursts. At zooming mode the spread is 2 times less than at normal mode;
• Shotgun have reduced spread, a damage has also reduced (because at vanilla the damage from one buckshot is equal to damage from one machinegun bullet);
• Grenade and rocket launchers have increased damage and damage radius;
• Plasmagun have: reduced spread, increased damage, increased speed of plasma balls;
• Lightning gun have increased damage;
• Nailgun have: reduced spread, starts shoots immediately, without spinning up, increased damage, nails flies faster;

Gameplay changes:

• Does not disappearing: corpses, blood, brasses, bullet holes, plasma marks, marks of rockets, etc;
• After transformation into a Strogg the height of jump is increased, also increased the height of obstacles on which it’s possible to climb without jumping. 2 times increased the height from which it’s possible to jump without receiving damage. In this regard you can slightly diversify a game passage: for example, now you can jump to where you can't jump at vanilla game;
• At level when player 1st time faces with the tactical stroggs, they appears and attacks immediately at level start, not at triggers;
• At level where player releases a technician from prison, the technician does not upgrades the nailgun. Also removed a default railgun upgrade on the map. Now player can take upgraded nailgun and railgun at the post of weapons delivery on a spaceship when player get there the 2nd time.
