Description of the Modification

-------------------------------



(Data, engage tractor beam.)

Ever wanted to just throw your DeathMatch enemy for a quick lava bath? Ever

wanted to get him up high in the air and then release him, falling to his

death? Now you can, with the Tractor Beam. Just change to tractor beam mode

and grab the motherfunker. He will be paralysed and you can do whatever you

wish with him. He will remain paralyzed half a second after you release him.



How to Install the Modification

-------------------------------



Very simple:

1.  Create a directory named TRACBEAM under your QUAKE directory by typing:



   MD TRACBEAM



   when in your QUAKE directory.



2.  Unzip the files in the archive into that directory with your favorite

   unzipping software. Make sure you unzip with subdirectories. If you use 

   PKUNZIP just type:



   PKUNZIP TRACBEAM.ZIP TRACBEAM -d



   again, in your QUAKE directory.



3.  Copy all the .QC and .SRC files from Quake C into the TRACBEAM\SRC directory,

   excpet for WEAPONS.QC and DEFS.QC . You can get Quake C in the archive named 

   QCC.ZIP, on www.stomped.com, ftp.stomped.com or ftp.cdrom.com .



4.  Compile the QC files by typing:



   ..\..\QUAKEC\QCCDOS.EXE



   Given that you put the QCCDOS.EXE from QCC.ZIP in the directory named

   QUAKEC under your QUAKE directory. Otherwise, type in the path to it.



5.  Run Quake like this:



   QUAKE.EXE -game TRACBEAM



6.  In Quake, use L to toggle tractor beam/lightning mode.

Other mods I've done:

Homing Sticking Missiles -  Stick up your enemy's butt and explode a while

                           later.

                           (HOMSTICK.ZIP)



Lava Gun                 -  Rapidly shoots lava, which eventually splashes

                           spectacularly. Kinda like Doom's plasma gun.

                           (LAVAGUN.ZIP)



Proximity mines          -  Better than n-tropy's mines. Explode when

                           detecting anyone in range.

                           (PROXMINE.ZIP)



Power Axe                -  Nearly everyone made this one... An axe that

                           electrecutes upon contact with flesh, stone or

                           metal.

                           (I'm not going to release this one)

The Tracer               -  Shoot this at a monster or player and it beeps, as

                           the beeps get louder, the closer you are, great for

                           ambushes.
