MAP_EDIT_PRO "On the fly" Quake level editor with ability to save your changes - simply QuakeC patch (when you editing, you walking on your level) by Peter Porai-Koshits (Dragon__) MAP_EDIT_PRO patch - it's a little part of my Quake Project1 patch ( see proj1_??.zip - QUAKE Project1 ). Last version - 0.93, proj1_93.zip I include in MAP_EDIT_PRO several features: 1) "SemiPause". When game is "semipaused", players can't move and fire, but can change skins, names and do other stuff. "Semipause" switching ON/OFF - "impulse 211 ". 2) "Observer mode 1.2". It's a rewritten Observer 1.1. You can enter to Observer (JAFO) mode by "impulse 210 ". When you already in Observer mode you can switch WALK/FLY/NOCLIP modes ON/OFF by the same "impulse 210 ". 3) "Server News". It's just a little help for keys binding - press "impulse 215 " to check. 4) MultiSkin Pro. "impulse 200 ", "impulse 201" for change skins. player.mdl NOT included. You can find it at ftp.cdrom.com/.../multi_11.zip And finally, main modification: 5) You're playing on your favorite deathmatch level and you want to improve this level's conditions? But you don't want to research heaps of Quake level editors, bsp compilers, brush makers, converters, etc... YOU CAN DO IT NOW with Quake MAP_EDITOR patch! "Game Administrator" mode added. What it does: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- By pressing "impulse 212" a player can became a Game Administrator. Now he can choose any weapon/ammo/item by impulses 200,201 (same as for MultiSkin) and place them anywhere on the level by pressing impulse 134. When editing is finished just press impulse 212 again and you'll became a regular "player" again. During the game only one player can became a Game Administrator only once and if he has 0 frags. While Administration mode ON - all other players (not Admin) staying in SemiPause mode and can't move/shoot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) Dragon SCRIPT added! You used MAP_EDIT and enjoyed it, but you want to save your chages of level fo future games? Ok. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now you can record all changes what you did in Administration mode. Run "quake.exe -game MAP_EDIT -condebug " Start a game. Enter to Admin mode (impulse 212). Start a record (impulse 214). Do any changes. Finish a record (impulse 214). Leave Admin mode (impulse 212). Quit from Quake. (Do not try to play with "condebug" switch - it very slowing a game.) Edit "/MAP_EDIT/qconsole.log" file - copy all strings between "SCRIPT start" and "SCRIPT end" to "/ID1/script.rc" Bind any free key for playback SCRIPT. For example on F3 key: bind F3 "exec script.rc " Run "quake.exe -game MAP_EDIT" Start a game on the same level. Enter to Admin mode (impulse 212). Run SCRIPT - "F3" key. Leave Admin mode (impulse 212). Enjoy the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key binding: impulse 134 - Put items when Administrator mode ON impulse 135 - Removing items mode ON/OFF when Administrating impulse 200 - Change Skin + (Choose item when Administrating) impulse 201 - Change Skin - (Choose item when Administrating) impulse 210 - Observer Mode (NOCLIP observer mode ON/OFF) impulse 211 - SemiPause impulse 212 - Admin functions ON/OFF impulse 214 - Start to record Dragon SCRIPT (for example bind it to F2) impulse 215 - Server News impulse 217 - for internal use, please don't bind it! exec script.rc - for running Dragon SCRIPT (for example bind it to F3) How to install it?
