Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
Quake 2 Plus is a compilation of some Quake 2 enhancements and creates
a slightly more realistic and consistent future space marine scenario!
Feature summary:
----------------
act, silent blaster, reflecting beams, homing rockets, shootable
proxgrenades, pulserifle, plasmarifle, no jumpsound, no flies
Features:
---------
* pressing "act" touching items gets them
(no more wasting of health or ammo by accidently taking it)
* pressing "act" touching buttons activates them
(move forward while pressing to make sure you really touch)
* the Blaster silently fires beams
(regards to LM_Jormungard, SumFuka and WonderSlug)
* the Machinegun is turned into a Pulserifle
(without the kickback raise and with the cool sound)
* the Handgrenades act as shootable sticking Proxgrenades
(regards to Chris Hilton and Joel Skrepnek)
* the Rocketlauncher fires homing rockets
(regards to Chris Hilton)
* the Hyperblaster is turned into a Plasmarifle
(firing beams that are occasionally reflected)
* no jump sound (why should a marine groan so loud each time)
* no flies (why should there be flies at all on an alien world)
How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Create a directory named Q2Plus in your registered Quake 2 directory,
unzip the archive with the directory structure restored into it, then
start playing Quake 2 Plus with: Quake2 -game Q2Plus
When using the patch on level addons presented as pak files make sure
that there are no overlapping resources like gamex86.dll in the pak!
Don't forget to bind a key to "act"!
