Articles - Soldat mod for Quake

Note: This mod will be released during QExpo, roughly around July 6 - July 12, 2003. Visit this thread to find out about the event. This mod is a remake of the very entertaining Soldat game that has occupied so much of my time recently. It's a 2D sidescroller with gameplay that akin to Quake itself (in fact, after reading the author's comments in the manual, I am convinced he was an avid Quake player). I enjoyed the game greatly, and decided it would be fun and challenging to make a Soldat tribute in Quake. I was right about both. It's been fun, and it's certainly been challenging! ;) The controls are simple: Left and right will move your player left and right, up will make your player hop, or if held down, jump. Down will cause him to crouch. Moving the mouse will move the targeting cursor, which determines the direction the player faces and shoots. Mouse1 fires your weapon, and mouse2 will use your booster. Weapons range from Desert Eagle to machineguns to grenades...
