[Finished] PSX Quake 2 deathmatch maps and weapons v2.0

[Scubbo]

rad mod, enjoying it, actually made me want to go back and play Q2 tbh :O !

[hfc2x]

Nice! Quake 2 is an awesome game, so I'm glad this makes you want to revisit it.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

I see your mod has not replaced Doom's Chainsaw with its Ground Zero counterpart.

Also, do you plan to add Quake II monsters and barrels in a future release?

[BFG]

Also those Duke 3D explosions just take me out of it a bit, any chance they could be replaced with more Quake 2-esque ones? I think MajorCooke may have some sprites like that.

viewtopic.php?f=43&t=50228 <-- You should try this mod as they did do all Quake 2 monsters.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

I did try that mod, actually. Alas, it remains unfinished.

It wasn't part of my plan, since the Chainsaw wasn't part of Vanilla Quake 2, which PSX Quake 2 is based off of.

Not the point of this mod.

-Got rid of the Duke Nukem 3D explosions for rockets, and added those weird mushroom-like ones from Quake 2 rockets.

I mentioned this in the first post, dude.

[JohnnyTheWolf]

True, but for the sake of consistency, it would make sense to have the Ground Zero chainsaw replace its default counterpart - unless you remove the latter entirely.

Rocket Launcher:
Damage Per Hit
100-120 [direct impact]
60-112 [splash damage]
Grenade Launcher:
Damage Per Hit
102-112 [direct impact]
40-112 [splash damage]
Correct in this mod? I looked in the slide and it says only 100 + 20 damage for missiles. Where splash damage?
When you take grenades, they give out 10 instead of 5 like in a vanilla Quake 2.
The supershotgun has a very narrow range of buckshot in height.
max amout shell 50 instead 100 like in quake2.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but the ammo amounts are taken from PSX Quake 2, whereas the weapon damage and such are from the PC version. I know there's gotta be a lot of bugs, and I'll probably update this in the future, since I'm pretty dissatisfied with the version of this mod I posted in the OP.

I meant that in mod until you find a backpack a maximum of 50 shells, although in the PC as well as in the PSX version there were 100 shells. (Shotgun)

about splash damage. In the mod, the rocket launcher deals damage only with a splash demage without a direct hit. Although there should be direct damage. As I already wrote in numbers.

When you take grenades, they give out 10 instead of 5 like in a vanilla Quake 2.

For the rest all right.
I hope I have now clearly explained

Out of curiosity, have the exclusive PS1 enemies ever been ported or recreated for the PC version?

That's certainly a bug. I'll look into it.

I wasn't sure what you were talking about, so I checked the source code, and I see what you mean now: check it out.

So, according to the source code, rockets do 100+random(0,20) direct impact, plus 120 damage around a 120 unit radius. I'll fix the problems when I get around to it.

weapon.ammogive 4 Rlauncher but need give 5 rockets
Q2railgun weapon.ammogive 4 but need give 10 slugs
GrenLauncher weapon.ammogive 4 but need 5 grens

This is simply a workaround I did back then when I was implementing all the amounts, because of how weapons work in Deathmatch in Doom (the main point of this mod), as they have a hard-coded multiplier for ammo pickups (including weapons) that are the amount times 2.5, so 4 would give you 10 ammo in Deathmatch. I wasn't aware at the time that ZScript allows you to simply override the AttachToOwner function to null the multiplier, so this should be easy to fix with an update.

I appreciate that you took the time to look all these numbers up, but please don't use the fandom wiki for this kind of information, since it can very easily be super wrong.

<<<ACTOR Roketto : Grens replaces RocketAmmo

Again, because when I made this, I wasn't aware that you could simply override the AttachToOwner function.

And as I said, I don't think I'll fix this any soon, since I'm busy with real life stuff atm. Will definitely update this when I can, though, since I guess I don't have an excuse to not go and peek at the Quake 2 source code instead of relying on information gathered by Randy Pitchford. Should have known better than to trust him lol.

EDIT:

I don't know of any mods that have done that, but I knew there was a TC or something that was attempting on recreating Quake 2. This mod, however, was primarily intended for Deathmatch purposes, so not much going on that alters single play or coop.
